AI-Powered Urban Sustainability for Philadelphia

Transform your neighborhood with community-driven environmental monitoring

📡 📡 📡 📡 📡

Urban Environmental Challenges Need Community Solutions

Philadelphia faces significant environmental challenges that affect our daily lives:

  • Air quality issues in 60% of neighborhoods exceed EPA recommendations
  • Urban heat islands increase summer temperatures by up to 22°F in some areas
  • Stormwater management challenges affect water quality across the city

Traditional environmental monitoring is expensive, centralized, and disconnected from the communities it serves. We need a new approach that empowers residents to participate in creating more sustainable neighborhoods.
