Miami Canopy Watch

Project description

A public ledger for Miami's disappearing canopy. Miami Canopy Watch turns the City of Miami's public permit portal into something you can actually read, search, and map. We systematically index every permit where the Job Category is TREE PERMIT so residents, journalists, and policymakers can see what is being approved, where, and at what scale. An independent, public-facing dashboard built to surface what is happening to the City of Miami's tree canopy. Powered by the city's own permit data — made legible and possible by Serpens Inc. — for the civic infrastructure for Miami.
