GREENCITIES

Big Data for the Liveable City of Tomorrow


Today, more than 70% of all Europeans live in cities or urban agglomerations. European cities are also the centres of economic wealth. However, cities and their urban populations also have a significant effect on the environment. Traffic, waste production and noise polution are just a few such examples. Due to the complexity of cities, they are also particularly vulnerable to climatic changes.

Green Infrastructure

Contributes to reducing the impacts of climate changes and helps make cities more liveable and sustainable.

The GreenCities project is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Funding for this project was granted under the "Development of Innovative Big Data Methods and Applications" theme to improve the planning, management and control of urban green infrastructure. The project tasks are focused on improving the planning of green infrastructure in cities and to maintain existing infrastructure through Big Data analysis and the integration of a variety of data including Earth observation, Internet of Things (IoT), and crowdsourcing.
