Description

Imagine a city map that doesn’t just display streets and landmarks—but reveals where environmental risks are greatest, from scorching heat islands to flood-prone neighborhoods. This kind of map becomes more than just a planning tool; it’s a survival guide, directing cities on where to plant trees, cool communities, and safeguard vulnerable populations.

In this episode of Preview of Tomorrow, host Mike Lake sits down with Imeshi Weerasinghe, CEO and co-founder of WEO, to explore how satellite imagery and AI are transforming the way cities prepare for climate threats. Together, they discuss how data-driven insights are helping communities move beyond outdated information and take targeted, effective action to build greener, safer, and more resilient urban environments.
