NASA Space Apps Winner
CityForge: Mumbai Pulse
NASA EO data-powered real-time environmental intelligence dashboard for Mumbai
Project Overview
Mumbai Pulse is an environmental intelligence platform built for the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025, which my team proudly won at the Vallabh Vidyanagar Local Event.
The platform integrates advanced NASA Earth Observation data, including MODIS, Landsat, and SMAP datasets, alongside real-time weather data from the Meteomatics API. This powerful integration is designed to monitor and address three critical environmental challenges across Mumbai: Urban Heat Islands, Water Resources, and Air Quality.
Platform Highlights
// 01
Urban Heat Island Monitoring
Maps temperature variations across the city and identifies heat-stressed zones, offering targeted cooling intervention suggestions.
// 02
Water Resources Tracking
Actively tracks lakes, reservoirs, and rainfall patterns while continuously assessing water quality across the region.
// 03
Air Quality Analytics
Provides real-time AQI data, pollution source analytics, and health advisories for citizens and administrators.
// 04
Unified Interactive Dashboard
Brings all critical environmental data together into a single, seamless dashboard built with a Next.js frontend, Flask API, and robust Esri mapping layers.
The Impact
By synthesizing vast amounts of satellite data into an accessible, unified interface, Mumbai Pulse equips policymakers and citizens with actionable intelligence. It represents a significant step towards data-driven urban resilience, providing vital infrastructure to combat the escalating challenges of climate change in rapidly growing metropolises.
