This project develops a digital platform for assessing zoning impacts using Earth observation data.
The result zoning impact assessment tool is scalable and web-based, and integrates EO data with local planning, empowering municipalities to make climate-smart urban land-use decisions.
During the project, Avoin Map develops the ZIM – Zoning Impact Mapper as an open-source planning platform for European cities. ZIM combines Copernicus Sentinel satellite data, AI-powered land cover models, and local zoning inputs to assess long-term carbon, biodiversity, and social impacts of land-use changes. The service enables transparent, scenario-based planning and helps cities align with EU climate and conservation goals.
