🌿 Greenness of Calgary Communities (Summer 2024)
📎 https://www.datastory.org.ua/greenness-of-calgary-communities-summer-2024/
Last year I published my first attempt to analyze the actual vegetation condition across Calgary and to build a data-driven ranking of its communities based on median summer NDVI. It was my very first experiment in assessing urban greenness at the neighbourhood scale — but the results turned out surprisingly insightful.
Some patterns were expected, while others revealed unexpectedly low vegetation density in places that looked green from the ground.
This exploration later grew into a much larger line of research on Calgary’s greenness, climate resilience, and spatial variability in vegetation health. You can find some results here with thematic hashtag #GreennessOfCalgary
If you're working on urban ecology, remote sensing, or land-cover analysis of Canadian cities — I’d be happy to exchange ideas.
