Twin canvas — Nairobi

Planner mode: composite stress layers for informal settlements, traffic NOx plumes, and green infrastructure gaps.

Mapbox / Cesium hook — urban heat raster, flood extents, and riparian restoration corridors render here with live sensor overlays.

Traffic pollution impact

Modeled exposure surfaces for schools and clinics — integrates fleet telemetry where available.

Informal settlement ecological stress

Composite: waste density, flood exposure, canopy access, and water insecurity — privacy-preserving aggregation.

AI layer
  • • Predict future ecological outcomes from climate + land-use ensembles
  • • Recommend restoration interventions with ROI to watershed health
  • • Simulate policy impact — tree cover mandates, BRT electrification, waste circularity
Why it matters

Governments and urban planners get a single pane for climate risk, equity, and green infrastructure — tied to RIU issuance and verification, not siloed PDFs.
