We continue to research 🏡🌳urban green patterns around the world.
Twenty-seven urban green patterns were generated using satellite basemap and AI-Mapping Platform.
The tree cover for the main Latin American cities from Mexico to Santiago reflects a unique mix of human-nature interaction.

🏡 Data + Citizen = Smart City

Every day our Mapflow AI-Mapping Platform is used to extract urban features from satellite or aerial imagery. There are many uses for these data in city management, yet, every city - this is about people, this is about citizens.

We, at Geoalert, are involved in different urban projects and try to inspire people to explore the places where they live. It’s really important to have digital tools that help us to collect citizens’ requests and ideas, organize voting and discussion around city development issues.

🗺 One of such tools provides our partner - an emerging startup - Urbanpinion from Estonia. It's a citizen engagement platform that lets you create a landing page with an interactive map in just a few steps. Now you have all info about your project or city neatly organized and can launch a survey or idea portal - collect citizens ideas and votes - and of course, get the basic analytics of all collected ideas.
How does it work? It's simple:
- give the project name
- choose the type of the project
- customize the map
- select the categories of Marks and Routes
- customize logo, description, images, contacts and background in the Editor
It takes just 15 minutes, no extra knowledge or downloadings required. Post the link to your landing page and get useful ideas from your neighbors and other citizens.

🏢 🏗 🚌 So, for whom is Urbanpinion? For people ready to develop their city in the right way - for urban activists, architects, property management companies, real estate companies, ecologists, city administration, transport companies. And Urbanpinion is so much more - it’s not only for participative budgeting or participative design - museums and shopping malls can use it to discuss it’s spaces with visitors, scientists can use it to monitor nature. And so much more…

🌍 It’s really important that with Urbanpinion you can:
- identify problem areas of the territory, as well as the needs of citizens;
- collect ideas for the development of the urban environment or any space;
- organize voting for certain objects, put high-quality analytics into the project, prioritize the budget, discuss masterplan, etc.
Also, Urbanpinion provides additional services - online and offline promotion of the survey or idea portal, moderate comments or ideas, design of promotion materials to involve residents in the project.
Right now Urbanpinion is open to collaborations and invites everyone to try to use the product. You can already register and start using it on app.urbanpinion.com, the instruction is inside the platform.

We love Uzbekistan for its people and trees so we decided to support projects for social impact.
To this end we launched call to projects for Uzbekistan https://geoalert.io/projects
We are looking forward to supporting developers – how to create maps, tell stories with maps and sometimes even get insights about what is going around in the urban and natural environment.
Within this initiative, we've already started publishing open data and working with teams.
The initiative is supported by our friends from Gisgeo.org (https://gisgeo.org/katalog/proekty/) where you can find the description in Russian.
