🌱 EcoMind – Planning with Environmental Awareness

NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025 – Cuiabá Winner 🏆

Empowering cities to plan a greener and healthier future using environmental data and AI.


🌍 About the Project

🇺🇸 English

Many cities face air pollution, extreme heat, and inadequate basic sanitation — factors that reduce quality of life and increase health risks.
Urban planners need tools based on real data to make smarter, more sustainable decisions.

Our solution:
We created EcoMind, an interactive web app that maps vulnerable urban regions using NASA’s open environmental data.

🧠 What EcoMind offers:

  • 🗺️ Interactive map with environmental layers (air quality, temperature, vegetation index)
  • 📊 Indicators per neighborhood/region for environmental quality assessment
  • 🤖 AI-powered recommendations suggesting smart actions:
    • Tree planting
    • Park creation
    • Sanitation improvements
  • 🧩 Simulation tool — visualize “What if…” scenarios such as:
    • “What if trees were planted in this area?”
    • “What if a water treatment plant were installed?”
      EcoMind then displays the predicted impact through metrics and data visualizations, helping planners design healthier cities.

🎯 Target audience:
Researchers, public managers, and citizens seeking to understand and improve urban sustainability.


🇧🇷 Português (Brasil)

Muitas cidades enfrentam poluição do ar, calor extremo e saneamento básico inadequado — fatores que reduzem a qualidade de vida e aumentam os riscos à saúde pública.
Planejadores urbanos precisam de ferramentas baseadas em dados reais para tomar decisões mais inteligentes e sustentáveis.

Nossa solução:
Criamos o EcoMind, um aplicativo web interativo que mapeia regiões urbanas vulneráveis utilizando dados ambientais abertos da NASA.

🧠 O que o EcoMind oferece:

  • 🗺️ Mapa interativo com camadas ambientais (qualidade do ar, temperatura, vegetação)
  • 📊 Indicadores por bairro/região para avaliação da qualidade ambiental
  • 🤖 Recomendações com IA que sugerem ações inteligentes:
    • Plantio de árvores
    • Criação de parques
    • Melhoria do saneamento
  • 🧩 Simulador de cenários “E se...?”, como:
    • “E se árvores fossem plantadas nesta área?”
    • “E se uma estação de tratamento fosse instalada?”
      O sistema mostra o impacto previsto através de métricas e visualizações de dados, auxiliando gestores a planejarem cidades mais saudáveis.

🎯 Público-alvo:
Pesquisadores, gestores públicos e cidadãos interessados em compreender e melhorar a sustentabilidade urbana.
