# 2023 Air Pollution App |
|
Air Pollution App aims to analyse environmental data and inequalities, advancing sustainable development and refining digital problem-solving tools for urban areas. The integration of Digital Society and Artificial Intelligence is transforming cities, offering ways to enhance public administration and democratise interactions with citizens and businesses. However, their impacts on urban inequality remain underexplored. By employing data science and machine learning to assess various urban factors, the initiative develops multidimensional indicators for environmental inequalities and urban lifestyles. Pioneered in Lisbon, DSAEI data are accessible through a user-friendly application and interactive maps.
