Ranking Calgary’s greenest communities: the analysis based on Sentinel-2 satellites data. Calgary’s five greenest residential communities are Shaganappi, Queens Park Village, Winston Heights/Mountview, Windsor Park, and Woodlands. Unsurprisingly, Downtown Commercial Core, Beltline, Manchester, Downtown West End, and Lower Mount Royal are the three least green communities.
Urban greenery plays a crucial role in sustainable development and enhances the quality of urban life. To identify Calgary’s greenest communities, I conducted a study using Sentinel-2 satellite data from the summer of 2024. I calculated the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and ranked the communities based on their “greenness.”
NDVI is a reliable indicator that evaluates the density and health of vegetation based on surface reflectance in the near-infrared and red visible spectra. The NDVI index measures the amount of chlorophyll per unit area.
However, it is important to note that NDVI only measures the upper part of the vegetation canopy. It does not account for the total volume of the plants. As a result, well-maintained lawns often have a higher NDVI than dense forest thickets. This is precisely what we can observe in the presented study. To distinguish “flat” vegetation from “voluminous” vegetation, it is necessary to combine NDVI with other methods, such as radar imaging or LiDAR scanning.
The analysis process included the following steps:
1) Data Collection: Sentinel-2 satellites images were processed to calculate NDVI for the summer of 2024;
2) Data Processing: The NDVI values were averaged for each district to determine their overall “greenness”;
3) Comparison: Districts were ranked from the greenest to the least green.
The analysis revealed that five residential Calgary’s greenest communities are:
1) Shaganappi: average NDVI is 0.28. The high greenness level is primarily due to the well-maintained golf court occupying a large area;
2) Queens Park Village: NDVI is 0.26. The high greenness level is primarily due to the cemetery;
3) Winston Heights/Mountview: average NDVI is 0.26. The high greenness level is primarily due to the well-maintained golf court occupying a large area;
4) Windsor Park: The average NDVI is 0.26. It’s the same situation. The high greenness level is primarily due to the well-maintained golf court occupying a large area;
5) Woodlands: The average NDVI is 0.26. The high greenness level is primarily due to the well-maintained golf court occupying a large area.
The table below presents an overall summary of Calgary’s residential communities’ “greenness.” It includes communities classified as ESTABLISHED and COMPLETE in the city’s database. The tables are interactive—you can enter community names for a quick search and sort them alphabetically or by NDVI values.
