Conference | Digital Twins and Tree Equity: New Tools for Monitoring and Managing Trees

21 February, 14:00 - 15:30 | Conference Hall (Hall 20 - M42)

New technologies enable the integration of green management in urban areas. In 2023, digital twins of all roadside trees were created in Padua (IT) to improve the quality of biometric data and enable more targeted and accurate management. During the conference, the Municipality of Padua will share its experience.

Additionally, an experiment is underway to monitor tree cover by integrating satellite data, information on public greenery and socio-economic data. Using this information, it is possible to monitor green developments at the city level and identify which areas need planting of new trees.

Finally, our partner MavTech will present a new project involving the use of commercial drones weighing less than 250 grams to assess the health status of trees.
