The Rise Of Precision Urban Forestry
 

Did you know that urban trees are twice as likely to die compared to trees in rural areas? Cities are facing a whole new set of challenges when it comes to managing sustainability and green spaces. Nadinè Galle coined the term 'Internet of Nature’ (IoN) to provide the framework for deploying emerging technologies to protect, restore, and enhance urban nature.

Since 2018, Green City Watch supports 30+ (mega)cities, from Jakarta to Amsterdam to Boston, to understand, monitor, and improve their urban ecosystems. In this session you'll hear about the new challenges cities around the world are facing, how new technologies are helping to change the game, and how Planet imagery is being used by municipalities and urban foresters to get a better overview of their green spaces to create sustainable cites of the future.
