Smart cities: urban green infrastructures: quantifying green infrastructures benefits and value
| Resumo: | Populations have moved to cities and urban areas in recent years, resulting in their exponential growth. These migrations raise both traffic and resources consumption, leading to an increase of 2 emissions and contributing on a large scale to climate change. To extenuate the environmental issues adjacent to climate change, strengthening the number of urban trees is essential as they mitigate 2 emissions when incorporating carbon in their biomass. Understanding and measuring the extent of the role trees play as a mechanism for 2 storage introduces an interesting study that provides information on urban green infrastructures planification. Additionally, attending the relation between carbon storage and carbon value, the trees represent a credit benefit for the cities. The incorporation of tree's species, age, and environment type on the previous analysis could also offer valid inputs to enhance the cities' decision making. With the present project, we will provide an interactive dashboard that complete and supports the current analysis. |
