Greenery can greatly improve the quality of life inurban environments. Green Health Check developed a tool to map out the spatial challenges, opportunities and benefits of city greenery. This innovative tool helps planners, designers and developers optimize the use of greenery for a healthier and more pleasant city. More specifically, the currently-available tool maps the health effects of different types of greenery and even quantifies the economic value of greenery in the city.
