“…However, real-time monitoring of plant health, optimal control of the growing environment, and predictive and adaptive maintenance of cropping systems present significant challenges in terms of industrial communications and flexible computing architectures. Industrial artificial intelligence (AI) is recognized as a driving force in addressing these challenges within smart plant factories [54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

Urban Horticulture is a key solution to rapid population growth, urbanization, food crisis and climate change. According to FAO reports, projections indicate that by 2050, the global urban population will exceed 9.7 billion, nearly doubling the current 3.5 billion. In the case of India, UN World Population Prospects foresee that by 2050, 40.76% of the country's population will inhabit urban areas. Considering the above statistics, we can estimate the burden on rural production system to meet increasing demands of fruits and vegetables in urban markets. So, urban horticulture could be the saviour to avoid food crisis and inflation of market. Urban horticulture, with its roots dating back to the mid-19th century, has gained momentum worldwide and can potentially mitigate the looming threats of food crises and market inflation. There are various types of urban agriculture like, kitchen gardening, rooftop gardening, vertical farming, container gardening, etc. Multiple auras of crops can be cultivated in the minimal available space, right from herbs, vegetables and fruits to aromatic and medicinal plants. There are considerable number of advantages of urban farming, like, providing employment and daily wages to poor farmers, educating children, strengthening the community, improving social and emotional wellbeing and environmental justice to tackle climate change. Many cities across the world are practicing urban farming and have achieved success in production, marketing and educating people. While numerous cities globally have embraced urban farming, achieving success in production, marketing, and education, India is still in the nascent stages of this practice. It is imperative for both governmental and private entities to accord greater importance to and invest in the promotion and harnessing of the profitability of urban horticulture in the country.

“…Las áreas verdes contribuyen a mejorar la calidad del aire de las ciudades, puesto que los componentes vegetales reducen los niveles de contaminación (Diener y Mudu, 2021). Además, atenúan la propagación de ruido (Oliveira, Biondi y Reis, 2022). También ayudan a mitigar las condiciones climáticas adversas (Georgi y Dimitriou, 2010).…”

Objetivo: determinar las diferencias en la superficie y en las condiciones espaciales del área verde entre dos zonas habitacionales del municipio de Monterrey que presentan contrastes en la cantidad de población. Metodología: el análisis se realizó utilizando mapas geoestadísticos, imágenes satelitales y fotografías panorámicas del sitio. Resultados: la dotación de parques no obedece a la cantidad de población a la cual está destinada y es menor en las zonas que padecen mayor grado de rezago social. Además, se hallaron diferencias en los niveles de vegetación y en la variedad de instalaciones. Valor: se pone el énfasis en que la desigualdad en la dotación de áreas verdes es un asunto de injusticia ambiental. Limitaciones: en el estudio no se consideró la proximidad de las áreas verdes a las viviendas. Conclusión: la disparidad en la proporción del área verde acentúa la inequidad en la disposición y acceso al equipamiento público en la ciudad.

“…Based on scientific studies, green areas in the living environment positively affect one's mood, helping to reduce stress and improve work productivity [1][2][3][4]. Urban green spaces (UGSs) provide a range of ecosystem services that can help resolve many problems of urbanization, such as urban heat islands, noise pollution, and air pollution [5][6][7][8], and offer physical and mental benefits for human health [9,10]. Although the UGSs could be used to define any vegetation within the urban area, the government and the city's management staff usually recognize the formal green spaces (FGSs), such as urban parks, forest parks, and garden parks, as the spaces designed for public greenery services.…”

Google Street View and Machine Learning—Useful Tools for a Street-Level Remote Survey: A Case Study in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam and Ichikawa, Japan

This study takes one step further to complement the application of a method for mapping informal green spaces (IGSs) using an efficient combination of open-source data with simple tools and algorithms. IGSs are unofficially recognized by the government as vegetation spaces designed for recreation, gardening, and forestry in urban areas. Due to the economic crisis, many formal green spaces such as urban parks and garden projects have been postponed, while IGSs have significant potential as green space retrofits. However, because they are small and spatially continuous and cannot be fully detected via airborne surveys, they are surveyed in small areas and neglected by government and city planners. Therefore, in this research, we combined the use of Google Street View (GSV) data with machine learning to develop a survey method that can be used to survey a wide area at once. Deeplab V3+ was used to segment the semantics based on the model created using 1000 labelled photos, with an accuracy rate of nearly 65%. Applying this method gave high accuracy in Ichikawa, Japan, with 3029 photos, and matched the results of a field survey in a previous study. In contrast, low accuracy was seen in Ho Chi Minh City, with 204 photos, where the quality of the GSV data was considerably lower.
