City Intelligence

Three insights for actionable greening

Ranked streets, neighbourhoods, and planting blocks for the International University of East Africa (IUEA) Kampala pilot — powered by satellite UHI and canopy analytics.

Our Mission

GreenCover-City empowers International University of East Africa (IUEA) and partner municipalities to transform satellite Earth observation into actionable urban greening strategies. We bridge NASA-grade geospatial science, Google Earth-scale visualization, and policy-ready analytics for heat mitigation, canopy expansion, and flood resilience across East African cities.

Policy-Ready Analytics

Heat mitigation and canopy targets aligned with municipal planning workflows.

Institutional Trust

Built for IUEA research, government partners, and transparent civic engagement.

NASA-Grade Science

Landsat, Sentinel-2, and ECOSTRESS pipelines translated into actionable maps.

Platform Capabilities

Core Intelligence Modules

Production-grade foundations for geospatial climate analytics and civic engagement.

Urban Heat Island Analysis

Landsat-9 surface temperature and ECOSTRESS thermal anomaly layers for UHI mapping.

Tree Canopy & NDVI

Sentinel-2 derived NDVI and canopy deficit analysis for urban greening targets.

AI Priority Scoring

Weighted composite scores combining heat, canopy gap, and flood exposure factors.

Citizen Request Portal

Geolocated tree planting and green space requests with photo evidence and workflow.

Flood Risk Analysis

Scenario-based flood risk layers integrated with green infrastructure planning.

AI Report Generation

PDF intelligence reports with institutional branding and developer attribution.
