Architecture Affects Our Health, According To Researchers

Shutterstock / NTB While many modern buildings are characterised by minimalist lines and open urban spaces, research shows that people often prefer classical buildings and dense urban landscapes. Should architects and urban planners take people's preferences more into account? A 2019 study at the University of Warwick, based on data from over 15,000 people in England, shows that people feel happier in beautiful surroundings even in cities.......Continue reading...

🛰️ 242 Million Pixels: Calgary’s Urban Heat Pulse

To model Calgary’s #UHI with precision, I processed 242,376,352 pixels from Sentinel-2 & Landsat 8/9 (Summer 2025).

Using multi-temporal composites in #RStats on #Debian, I’ve revealed the persistent link between greenery & heat. Data shows that NDVI > 0.35 triggers a sharp drop in surface temp.

This is a foundational layer for my Multi-Dimensional Environmental Matrix (#MDEM) framework for #UrbanHealth.

How did Calgary respond to the wet summer of 2025?
Here’s the median summer NDVI map derived from Sentinel-2 imagery.
You can clearly see the Bow River corridor, Nose Hill Park, and the contrast between established tree-rich communities and newer developments.

A long time ago, when I was member of an environmental NGO and creating analytical graphics for public awareness, I developed a custom template for calendar-style diagrams.

These “danger calendars” showed how many sanitary air-quality standards were exceeded each day. The format revealed not only individual pollution spikes but also long-term patterns — seasonality, problematic months, weekday effects, and gaps in monitoring.

The example below shows air-quality exceedances in Kryvyi Rih (2014–2016), based on official data from the Hydrometeorological Service of Ukraine.

And yes — Kryvyi Rih has extremely poor air quality.

Comparison of the median-seasoned NDVI for central Calgary: 2024 vs 2025

Here is a side-by-side look at how the vegetation conditions in central Calgary changed between two years, using median-seasoned NDVI maps derived from Sentinel-2 imagery.

You can clearly see the interannual differences in greenness — especially in parks, riparian zones, and residential areas with large tree cover.
The spatial patterns remain stable, but 2025 shows noticeably higher NDVI in many neighbourhoods due to more favourable moisture conditions.

This is part of my ongoing project on analyzing the vegetation dynamics of Calgary communities: #GreennessOfCalgary
