Idea for City App: Green Cover Criteria like Noise levels, thermal comfort, weather, traffic and congestion are to be considered preliminary/mandatory. I propose the idea of documenting trees/plantations in different streets to understand and improve the green cover in the whole city. This could be part of the main app. The feature may have the following data to be entered: 1. Location/Street 2. No. of trees (Possibly with a picture) The app should initially request people's demographic and age band while signing up. The tree numbers could be entered while they go for a stroll or walking or commuting to a place. This way we can understand where there is a lack in green cover quicker and account for it. For example, if a street sees a large number of elderly people walking everyday, we will find a need to add a few more trees and seating units to improve the performance of a street in terms of urban design.
