Project summary
This online mapping tool was develop with the aim to increase people’s understanding of the relationship between urban form and emissions.
The tool allows the visualisation of transport patterns and emissions in some of the main cities of Aotearoa New Zealand, in two ways: the emissions scenarios visualisation and the trend in travel mode. Thus, it can be used to compare how shifts in the fuel type of vehicles may shift the CO2 footprint of an area of interest.
Currently, the data use in the tool is from the 2018 NZ census, and it relates to transport patterns such as active transport, public transport and drive, focused on travel in and out of work. The tool has been designed to be use in a laptop or desktop machine.
More information about the tool is available at:

This web application was developed using GRI geo-visualisation-components including a 3D web visualisation framework based on CesiumJS which was originally developed for the Flood Resilience Digital Twin (GRI) and is being adapted for general use. This is the first GRI-hosted web applications used to visualise geospatial research using GRI products.
