Which Calgary neighborhoods are best built to withstand summer heatwaves? 🌳☀️

To measure structural climate resilience across the city, I conducted a spatial analysis of 193 established residential communities, calculating the Solid-to-Tree Ratio—comparing bare artificial surfaces (asphalt, concrete, rooftops) directly against total tree canopy area.

Here are the Top 10 most shade-rich and climate-resilient communities in Calgary:
🟢 Queens Park Village — 0.3 (Just 0.3 ha of hard surface for every 1 ha of canopy!)
🟢 Discovery Ridge — 0.5
🟢 Roxboro — 0.5
🟢 Wildwood — 0.6
🟢 Rideau Park — 0.7
🟢 Medicine Hill — 0.8
🟢 Upper Mount Royal — 0.8
🟢 Crestmont — 0.9
🟢 Elbow Park — 0.9
🟢 Shaganappi — 0.9

Dieses Jahr mal ganz brav gewesen 😇 und die #FOSSGIS Vorstands- und Koordinierungsstellenberichte vorab gelesen. Und dabei rausgefunden, dass @jakobmiksch an einer #VectorTiles Implementierung auf der deutschen #OpenStreetMap Instanz arbeitet. Performance und Stilimplementierung sehen schon richtig gut aus 😍
