Greening Cities, Cooling Lives

The Problem

Urban Heat Island Effect

Cities can be up to 10°C warmer than their surroundings due to urban heat islands. This phenomenon intensifies local heatwaves, worsens air pollution, and poses severe health risks, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions. It also strains infrastructure, increases energy demand, and disrupts ecosystems.

Urban Heat Island Effect
+4°C Projected Warming by 2100
5x More Heat Related Deaths by 2050
2x More Extreme Heat Days Than in 2000

The Solution

Greening is the best solution to combat the heat

Our vision is to revolutionize the planning of green spaces in a sustainable way by making the planning process simpler, faster, and more effective.

An easy-to-use software that requires no GIS knowledge. Digital twins of selected areas are created at the push of a button. Measures such as planting trees or removing impervious surfaces are planned with just a few clicks and directly in 3D.
