Description: The Trust for Public Land’s Climate-Smart Cities Program is founded on the principle that to respond to climate change, cities must restore natural functions of the land by weaving green elements into the built environment. The Climate Smart Cities Program helps cities meet the challenges through the development of spatial data and decision support tools that translate the goals from a city’s strategic climate planning into priority sites for green infrastructure development. The Climate Smart Cities Program categorizes these strategies under the climate objectives of Connect, Cool, Absorb, and Protect. The rasters in the connect geodatabasehelp explore priority areas of the city for connecting and expanding walk-bike corridors. (Highest priority areas are in red). CT04 identifies areas within a 10-minute walk of a public school as well as closest routes from pubic transportation to middle and high schools.A primary goal in the Resilient New Orleans Strategic Vision Plan is to provide transportation options that improve getting students to schools. This model identifies key corridors that connect middle and high school students from nearest bus stops as well as areas within 10 minute walk of existing schools. Using Network Analyst Closest facility tool, we identified the 5 most direct routes from existing middle and high schools to the nearest bus stops. All routes were buffered by 200ft to identify general corridors students might use to get from public transit to their school and assigned very high priority (5). A ten minute walk from every school was then derived to identify opportunities for transportation improvement for younger students walking and biking to school and assigned high priority value (4).
