Description
Green Urban Sat leverages high-resolution satellite imagery to enhance urban resilience by analyzing and mapping vegetation. By integrating nature-based solutions (NBS), the project supports climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and energy efficiency in urban planning.
Using Pléiades and Pléiades Neo satellite data, the platform classifies vegetation types, extracts 3D structural indicators, and assesses ecosystem services like climate regulation, air quality improvement, and ecological connectivity. The results are accessible through the Landia online interface, which provides interactive maps, vegetation layers, and a dashboard for multi-scale analysis.
Currently implemented in Greater Nancy, with replication tests in Strasbourg, Green Urban Sat continues to evolve under the Des Hommes et des Arbres project. Future developments will refine ecosystem service assessments and expand the tool for broader regional applications.
