Urban Planning

Electric Vehicles eliminate tailpipe air pollution but still produce some emissions from wear, charging, and manufacturing. Cleaner energy and battery recycling help reduce EV air pollution.

Cities around the world are improving air quality by introducing Low Emission Zones (LEZs), Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZs), and congestion pricing. From London to Warsaw to New York, these measures reduce vehicle emissions, ease traffic, and support public health.

Decades of intensive fire control have actually made forests more vulnerable to severe wildfires. Controlled burns provide a safer and cost-effective way to reduce risk, restore ecosystems, and build long-term wildfire resilience.

London’s air pollution, once marked by dense and hazardous fog, has improved significantly through legislation and initiatives such as Breathe London.

Implementing wildfire prevention strategies at the individual and agency levels, establishing resilient air quality monitoring networks, and understanding how severely wildfire and poor air quality impact our national parks can help preserve them.

Air pollutants affect everyone, everywhere. From bustling city streets to remote countryside areas, these unseen enemies — ranging from particulate matter to noxious gases — have a profound impact on our health, environment, and economies.

Imagine transforming our urban environments from smog-filled to health-promoting spaces. That’s where air quality advocacy and education step in, serving as the catalyst for this vital change.

New air quality measurement technology is not just changing the way we monitor air pollution; it's rewriting the rules on air quality management, enabling a shift towards more precise, effective environmental regulations.

Discover how cities can harness technology, green infrastructure, and community power to create sustainable urban environments with clean air for all.

Air Quality Management 2.0 leverages collaborative partnerships between different stakeholder groups — including communities, regulators, analysts, and technologies — to more effectively and sustainably fight air pollution.
