The questions
- Which neighbourhoods keep the most heat at night during a heatwave?
- How much cooler could a street be with more trees or lighter surfaces?
- What happens to traffic and air quality if a road is closed or pedestrianised?
- Where will demand for services such as clinics or bus routes grow?
What the twin would model
- Buildings, streets, surfaces and green space
- Temperature and air-quality measurements, plus satellite heat maps
- Traffic and public transport
- Population and services by neighbourhood
Who it is for
Municipalities, urban planners, architects, utility companies and researchers in urban climate.
Public sources we plan to start from
- Copernicus Land Monitoring Service — Urban Atlas
- National Observatory of Athens — meteo.gr
- OpenStreetMap
- Greek open data portal — data.gov.gr
Listing a source does not mean we have a partnership with it. These are public datasets we plan to evaluate.
