  Air pollution is known to cause detrimental health effects in cities and specially on the most vulnerable population. Having access to reliable air pollutant concentration data at street-level in urban areas can be crucial to mitigate the problem. BSC has developed CALIOPE-Urban, a street-scale modelling system that provides high-spatial- and high-temporal-resolution (25 m × 25 m, hourly) NO2 concentrations for Barcelona. The system focuses on Barcelona but the methodology may be replicated for other cities in the future.
