ESA backed project maps 600,000 urban trees across European capitals
ASITIS completed the ESA project UpGreen, analyzing nearly 600,000 trees in Copenhagen and Lisbon. By combining satellite data, city datasets and AI, the project delivers tree level insights on stress, productivity, cooling and carbon storage, helping European cities plan greenery more effectively and at lower cost.
- (1888PressRelease) February 07, 2026 - The Czech company ASITIS has successfully completed the European Space Agency (ESA) project UpGreen, which gives cities an unprecedented insight into the condition of urban greenery.
In pilot projects in Copenhagen and Lisbon, the team assessed 587,026 trees and verified that combining satellite imagery, municipal data, and AI can describe, with single tree accuracy, levels of stress, productivity, survival capacity, carbon sequestration, and cooling effect.
Cities received map layers, a report, and clear visualizations for targeted maintenance, planting planning, and investment justification.
The methodology has already been validated in the Czech Republic, in Kuřim.
Martin Vokral, ASITIS, says: “Cities need to manage greenery just as thoughtfully as transport or energy. UpGreen delivers more detailed data at a fraction of the cost of traditional tree inventories.” More at https://asitisready.com/.
