About

The NYC Carbon Atlas represents a groundbreaking approach to urban environmental analysis, combining spatial data with carbon emission metrics to create an interactive visualization of New York City's environmental impact. Through advanced data processing and visualization techniques, the project reveals patterns and correlations between urban density, building types, transportation networks, and carbon emissions. This comprehensive mapping tool serves as both an analytical resource for urban planners and an educational platform for understanding the complex relationship between urban development and environmental sustainability.
