Urban tree monitoring dashboard

Build a dashboard that tracks and visualizes urban tree planting metrics. Help cities measure the impact of their greening initiatives.

Why now

As cities expand tree planting programs, they need better tools to track survival rates and environmental benefits.

Who for
urban planners
Business model
government contracts
Effort
A few months

Cities plant thousands of trees but often lack systems to track their survival and growth over time.

Create a dashboard that aggregates tree planting data with satellite imagery and sensor inputs. Show canopy coverage changes and environmental benefits.

Sell to municipal governments and urban planning departments.

MVP could just visualize existing planting data. Add IoT integration later.

Risk: May require partnerships to access city datasets.
