Build maps with open data. Focused on environmental data.
To better inform land use decisions and ownership considerations ALT is developing an intersectional analysis of parcel status of the Greater Pittsburgh Region, with a focus on key regional initiatives. Urban greening is a multi-benefit solution to many of the issues facing the region, such as landslides, water management and combined sewer overflows; which have arisen from inappropriate development and poor and aging infrastructure. This “Greenprint” will emphasize greenspaces as solutions, recognizing that all forms of urban greening can positively contribute to the overall health and benefit of the area. The Greenprint will guide ALT, policy makers, and the community on the best uses of parcels to improve comprehensive regional planning and decision-making.
