Digital tools for creating network of urban health through remnant parcels

Local Code / Real Estates from Nicholas de Monchaux.

Interesting video by Nicholas de Monchaux, Architecture Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. He uses digital information to identify city-owned “remnant parcels,” and describes their potential to create a network of health and social welfare, an immune system for urban life in the the 21st century. In San Francisco, he identifies 1,500 parcels, the size of Golden Gate park, and visualizes how these spaces could be used as networked green spaces.
