Resource description:
The VEG-GAP Information Platform is a web-based multi-purpose information platform exploiting the final results of the project. The platform uses Atmospheric Modelling Systems outputs. It is a collaborative framework among end-users (which can interact with data analytics), governance (facilitating the knowledge sharing on successful environmental air quality solutions), and citizens (by showing them the effects of the green interventions).
VEG-GAP is a valuable example of transnational collaboration, and of how cities, research centres, businesses and civil society can team up to build better cities.
Requirements:
- Internet connection
- No other software installations are needed
Advantages:
- integration of different information at different scales: from satellite data to detailed maps (up to the single species and its size)
- perspective on the entire urban area, considering other possible regional influences
- assessments of future scenarios in terms of risks and benefits for human health and the vegetation itself
Uses of this resource:
It can be used both by non-technical users (Basic version) to show them the effects of green interventions, both by operators with technical expertise (Advanced version), to facilitate knowledge sharing on successful environmental air quality solutions.
Information Platform can be extended to include more cities and data.
Additional information:
