Silva Metrics for urban planning, public health and civil protection
Silva Metrics for other municipal departments: urban planning, public health and civil protection look at shade, allergens and risk in green areas without asking another service.
Who this page is for
For the departments that do not run the parks but depend on them: urban planning, public health and civil protection.
What it solves
Each needs a part of the same inventory, and today usually asks the parks service for it or waits for someone to prepare it. With Silva Metrics they consult what concerns them, with their own permissions, without duplicating records or interrupting anyone.
What it offers
Urban planning
Maps of green cover and shade by neighbourhood. A yardstick you can show when deciding where to plant.
Public health
A flowering calendar with an allergenic-species filter. Know which areas to watch in each season.
Civil protection
Specimens at risk, ranked and placed next to sensitive places. What to check first in bad weather.
Use cases
- Before a meeting. Open the neighbourhood’s shade map without asking anyone.
- As spring approaches. Look at the flowering calendar.
- With a wind warning. Consult the specimens at risk near schools and stops.
How it is used
- Each person is given consultation access.
- Each opens the map they care about.
- If needed, they take it into a document as an image or a PDF.
