BBMP Tree Census Data Analysis

Approved
Session Description

I would like to present my findings from the tree census published by BBMP based on the survey of trees in Bengaluru. This is a first of its kind activity taking place in the city.

I already have a blog post with the analysis of the preliminary data (linked below). I plan to update the analysis with the latest available data before the talk. A brief outline of the presentation:

  • Introduction

  • City-wide Tree Density

  • Zone-wise Tree Distribution

  • Tree species Distribution

  • Popular Trees By Zone

  • Unidentified Trees

  • Tools and code used for analysis

  • Conclusion

Key Takeaways

  • Get a glimpse of the tree cover in Bengaluru and its distribution in different parts of the city

  • Get an idea of the different species of trees in the city

  • Review a case study of an analysis involving GIS data

  • Look at different techniques that can be used to analyze and visualize GIS data

I am full stack engineer who removes drawers from work tables.


When I work from home, my work table is a 50-year-old antique. The only modification I made upon inheriting it is taking out the paper drawers to make more legroom. I build digital products to remove papers (and drawers) from offices and homes.

Reviews

This will be a very interesting talk that will likely help many students in the audience consider similar projects in their city. It's a public service and is different from the normal rise and grind AI projects that so many student churn out.

Don't be afraid to get very technical. Please include as many technical details as possible. There is be a broad spectrum of people in audience, many of whom would really benefit from understanding these details
