Citizen Urban Health Laboratory

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: The Urban Health Lab is a collaborative space for experimentation, learning and practice to foster community participation in building more resilient, healthy, sustainable and inclusive neighbourhoods. The lab aims to create communities of learning and practice, working collectively to identify needs, problems and interests, and to foster creative ideas that improve neighbourhood conditions through experimentation, shared knowledge and scientific culture.

List of parameters measured: PM1, PM2.5, Temperature, Noise, NO2

CAIRGOBIKE Project

Location: Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium

Description: CAIRGOBIKE is designed to improve air quality in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) by accelerating a modal shift from car/van to cargo bike to transport children, deliver goods and services through an integrated ecosystem of complementary nudging strategies. This innovative ecosystem will convert citizens and professionals to cargo bike use, ease the access to cargo bikes and create parking facilities. User community (citizens/businesses and non-profit) will be directly involved in air quality measurement and communication.

List of parameters measured: Temperature, Humidity, Black Carbon

Increasing Community Resilience in Climate Adaptation Process Project

Location: İstanbul, Türkiye

Description: With the establishment of the “Kadıköy Municipality Environmental Monitoring and Early Warning System”; We aim to create a resilient structure guided/supported by the local government with participation at the neighborhood scale and to raise awareness about climate change. Data is transferred to the "Kadıköy Municipality Environmental Monitoring and Early Warning System" for the detection of emergencies such as air pollution and heat wave/heat island effect that adversely affect public health, especially the fragile population.

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, PM10, Temperature, Humidity
