Mapping a Greener Calgary: Urban Landscape and Tree Canopy through Open Data

Curious about how open data is reshaping our city's green spaces? Join CivicTechYYC and Data for Good for an evening focused on the intersection of technology and urban ecology. Two speakers will share their independent research on Calgary's environment. Yevhen Vasylenko will detail how satellite imagery and remote sensing pipelines help identify neighborhood-scale environmental risks, a project that has gained significant local media attention. Saadiq Mohiuddin will discuss the work done by the Calgary Climate Hub to map tree equity, highlighting the stark disparities in canopy coverage across different income levels. This session is ideal for those interested in civic tech, data analytics, and urban planning. A Q&A follows both presentations, offering a chance to discuss the practical applications of geospatial data in creating a fairer, greener Calgary. 📍 Platform Calgary
