A digital twin of New York City’s Urban Canopy.
Tree Folio is a suite of tools to better understand and quantify the local impact of urban trees. Tree Folio extracts 3d models of every tree in NYC from publicly available, high-resolution LiDAR scans, simulates their local shading environments, and quantifies the amount and quality of shade they provide. The goal of the project is to develop strategies that are responsive to local needs and add up to have the maximum effect in mitigating climate effects for the future 'climate changed' city.
