Optimising health and well-being by identifying gaps in walkability and cyclability, combined with a variety of health and education facilities, jobs, green spaces, shops and environmental services
Make the best of Earth observation and geospatial intelligence to create healthy and prosperous places. Analyse and diagnose the accessibility, environmental and economic conditions and opportunities using OPTIMAL ATLAS. Create scores, ideate, collaborate and combine with a rich data catalogue using OPTIMAL STUDIO.
of your time dedicated on data finding and analysis by using tailorable urban scores and explainable satellite indicators
We are developing Optimal Cities with a team of specialists involved in over
Track changes, analyse, combine and create tailored scores for a variety of location intelligence uses:
Providing data catalogues and the full range of tools for ideation, digital collaboration and interactive presentation:
Overarching score combining social, economic and environmental indicators
Score combining environmental and pollution data with accessibility to healthcare, health-improving facilities and green spaces
Score combining accessibility to employment opportunities, environmental indicators improving productivity and socio-economic data.
Score combining accessibility to education and cultural facilities, environmental indicators improving well-being and learning.
Score showing cumulative accessibility to multiple facilities at once with and without normalisation by terrain slope
Score showing amount and health of vegetation in green spaces combined with walking and cycling accessibility
Score illustrating heatmap of areas with higher risk of heat island effect
Customise your own score recipe combining Earth Observation Indices, Urban Indicators and other data sources
Score showing accessibility levels to bus, train and other public transport services.
Score showing accessibility to schools, universities and other education facilities
Score showing accessibility to clinics, hospitals and other healthcare providers
Score illustrating access to city centres, business, retail and industrial parks
Score showing availability and coverage of facilities and services for the community
Score illustrating the coverage and accessibility of retail and town centre uses
Score showing accessibility to green spaces
Score showing coverage of sport and leisure facilities
Score and filters illustrating population density and profiles in relation to infrastructure coverage
Score and filters illustrating building density and land capacity in relation to existing and potential land development
Population-weighted scoring of health and environmental factors combined with accessibility to various facilities
Scores showing coverage of emergency services
Simple index showing green vegetation in the city
EVI is an optimized score that quantifies vegetation and corrects for soil background signals and atmospheric influences. It is very useful in areas of dense canopy cover
Useful for fire hazard analysis, canopy stress analysis and vegetation productivity prediction
Terrain elevation and slope
Useful for soil mapping, to investigate erosion in non-vegetated areas
Normalized difference vegetation index is effective for quantifying green vegetation and vegetation health
The Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation is an Essential Climate Variable that quantifies the fraction of the solar radiation absorbed by live leaves for the photosynthesis activity
The Fraction of Vegetation Cover is an Essential Climate Variable that quantifies the spatial extent of the vegetation, useful to monitor ecosystems
Useful to show indicators relevant for biodiversity, human consumption, leisure, food growth and industrial purposes.
Normalized Difference Water Index is the most appropriate for water body mapping, also used to reveal flooded areas
Can be used to detect irrigation and whether irrigation is being effective or not during the crucial growing summer season, as well as find out if some parts are being under or over-irrigated.
Useful to monitor the distribution of invasive species. Aquatic vegetation and algae are displayed from turquoise colour to bright green and denser vegetation cover in bright yellow
NO2 forms when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gas or diesel are burned at high temperatures
Carbon Monoxide is a major atmospheric pollutant, mainly resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels, biomass burning, and atmospheric oxidation of methane and other hydrocarbons
Methane is the second most important contributor to the enhanced greenhouse effect caused by human activity
The Aerosol Index (AI) indicates elevated layers of aerosols in the atmosphere (e.g. desert dust, biomass burning and volcanic ash plumes).
