A robust foundation for urban tree management activities
The 100KTREES Toolbox is a platform designed to support municipalities in creating healthier, more resilient cities through data-driven urban forestry. It integrates advanced mapping, modelling, and citizen input into one decision-support tool, offering services at both city-wide and neighbourhood levels.
By turning complex data into actionable maps and scenarios, the 100KTREES Toolbox empowers decision-makers to plan smarter, greener futures, while engaging communities in the process.
Base services deliver the essential tools every city needs, augmented services provide advanced and finer-scale insights, and custom analytics offer tailor-made solutions for unique urban challenges.

Base Services
The core package provides the foundation for any city’s green strategy: Maps, inventories, growth models, and scenario testing.
Land use, land cover and urban tree maps
This service provides detailed maps that showcase land use, land cover, and the distribution of urban trees. It offers municipalities the ability to visualize green spaces, assess existing urban forestry, and identify areas for potential tree planting.
Bare soil identification
This service helps identify areas of bare soil within urban environments, providing insights into regions where vegetation is sparse. By recognizing these locations, municipalities can target areas for greening initiatives and environmental improvements.
A tree inventory with height and crown diameter
This service tracks the size, height, and crown diameter of individual trees across the city. It helps municipalities monitor tree health, growth, and suitability for specific urban areas, allowing for more informed tree management and maintenance planning.
Tree growth model
This service forecasts tree growth patterns over time, taking into account factors such as species, climate conditions, and urban environment. It provides valuable data to predict how trees will mature, enabling municipalities to plan for future green space needs.
Hotspot identification for air quality, temperature and noise
Using advanced spatial analysis, this service identifies urban hotspots for air pollution, heat, and noise. These areas can be prioritized for tree planting and greening strategies, as trees offer significant ecosystem services such as air filtration, cooling, and noise abatement.
Single tree environmental benefits – valorisation
This service quantifies the environmental benefits of individual trees, such as air quality improvement, carbon capture, stormwater management, and noise reduction. By valuing each tree’s contribution, municipalities can better justify tree protection and new planting initiatives.
Citizen Science data (if collected)
The Citizen Science data service integrates community-collected data on urban trees, offering up-to-date and localized insights on tree conditions, locations, and health. This collaborative data enhances tree management and supports more effective urban greening decisions.
Scenarios: baseline, no trees and new tree planting
This service allows municipalities to test and compare scenarios that illustrate the impact of trees in the urban landscape. A “baseline” scenario shows current conditions, while the “new tree planting” scenario supports decision-makers in identifying where new trees would bring the greatest benefits.
Augmented services
For deeper analysis and monitoring, the toolbox offers advanced features: hotspot analysis, change detection, and planting priorities.
Ecosystem services for smaller areas
Beyond city-wide analysis, this service offers mapping of ecosystem services at the neighbourhood or even street level. This fine-scale approach is especially useful for targeted interventions, pilot projects, or communicating tangible benefits to citizens.
Change detection
Urban tree cover changes constantly. This service tracks its evolution over time, helping municipalities detect canopy loss, growth, and the impact of new plantings. Comparing data across seasons or years provides evidence to assess policies and monitor climate effects.
Highlighting of new planting areas
This service identifies and prioritises sites within the city that are most suitable for planting new trees. The analysis considers factors such as land use, bare soil availability, heat exposure, air quality, and social needs. The result is a clear and actionable map of “best spots” for planting.
3-30-300
The 3-30-300 rule is an internationally recognised benchmark for healthy urban planning. This service assesses how close a city is to meeting its greening goals and highlights areas lacking trees, offering an easy-to-communicate target actions for citizens and decision-makers.
Custom analytics
Every city has unique questions. We can transform complex data into clear, innovative studies and reports that guide smarter decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
The project results will be available to all interested stakeholders as Open Data, Open Source software and trough specific collaboration and license agreements.
In the cities of Sofia (Bulgaria) and Copenhagen (Denmark) the project will organize various citizen engagement events, informational campaigns and on- site workshops. Stay tuned by subscribing to our newsletter.
Of course! The toolboxes developed for Copenhagen and Sofia during the project will be used as ‘showcases’ towards other cities and city departments. After the end of the project, the developed toolbox services will be available for new city clients.
