Purdue AI urban tree monitoring and analysis initiative to improve city life

With 89% of the U.S. population and 68% of the world population projected to live in cities by 2050, concerns mount about how to address health and environmental issues such as excessive heat, poor air quality and rainwater runoff. Urban trees have the potential to improve these issues, but first, accurate tree inventories and information must be obtained, analyzed, shared and regularly updated to make effective data-driven decisions.
