👶 Child care centers (CCC) of Quebec
Heat island and tree canopy analysis
Young children are particularly sensitive to air quality because their respiratory system is still developing and they breathe more rapidly than adults. Urban heat islands increase thermal stress around early childhood centers, while vegetation helps cool the air and filter certain pollutants. Together, good air quality and a green environment support children’s health, comfort, and development.
About this analysis
This project helps child care centers, families, and communities better understand their environment. It brings together public data, satellite imagery, and air-quality measurements to show tree canopy, heat islands, traffic, and nearby pollution. Its goal is to identify simple opportunities to green and cool grounds, while better protecting young children’s health.
