The City Tree: Combatting Urban Air Pollution

Study Notes

In cities, families face the challenge of navigating busy streets with polluted air every day.
Air pollution results in over 7 million deaths annually.
By 2050, approximately 80% of the world's population will reside in cities, exposing them to polluted air.
Particulate matter, or fine dust, is a major contributor to air pollution.
A Berlin-based startup, Green City Solutions, has created a solution to combat urban air pollution: The City Tree.
The City Tree is an intelligent biological filter that improves air quality in cities.
The City Tree is a combination of plants and modern IoT technology.
Data on environmental performance and filter efficiency is sent to the cloud and visualized in real-time.
In ventilation mode, the City Tree filters up to 38% of ultrafine particles, reduces PM 2.5 by up to 20%, and black carbon by up to 18%.
The City Tree is a unique, innovative solution for cleaner air and a healthier life in heavily polluted urban habitats.
Green City Solutions received support from IT Climate Kicke, a European knowledge and innovation community.
Independent research institutes have shown the effectiveness of the City Tree in improving air quality.
