Sust: Inspiring Sustainability Through Artistic Transitions

Sust: Empowering Sustainability with Google 3D Maps

What I Built

Sust is an interactive web app designed to promote sustainable living by analyzing and visualizing:

• Air Quality Data: Assess pollution levels and pinpoint areas with clean air.
• Solar Data: Identify locations with high solar energy potential for renewable energy projects.
• Green Spots: Locate eco-friendly spaces such as parks and forests within urban areas.
• Walkability: Analyze city walkability to encourage active and car-free lifestyles.

Using Google 3D Maps, the app displays these datasets in an intuitive, visually appealing way, empowering users to make eco-conscious decisions and explore urban sustainability in depth.
