This year, **Jakarto** will be attending alongside its partner [**PlanIT Geo**](https://planitgeo.com/) to showcase an integrated approach combining LiDAR and imagery data, artificial intelligence, arborist expertise, and urban forest management tools. #### 🎯 Jakarto + PlanIT Geo: From Data to Urban Forest Management Inventorying tens or even hundreds of thousands of trees across an entire city represents a significant challenge. But an inventory only becomes truly valuable when it can be used to plan, take action, and monitor the evolution of the urban forest. Jakarto has the ability to **capture or integrate, process, and add value to LiDAR and imagery data at scale, regardless of the data source**. Our platform transforms this data into actionable information, notably through artificial intelligence: tree location, trunk diameter, height, crown dimensions, and many other attributes. PlanIT Geo complements this approach with its urban forestry expertise, arborist validation, and [**TreePlotter**](https://planitgeo.com/treeplotter/), its specialized platform for tree and urban forest management. The goal: efficiently move **from geospatial data to an actionable inventory, and ultimately to the day-to-day management of the urban forest**. #### 🌿 TreeD: An Integrated Solution This complementary approach comes together through **TreeD**, our joint solution designed to provide municipalities with an integrated, end-to-end approach. **AI-Assisted Tree Inventories – Arborist Expertise – Urban Forestry Management Software.** TreeD combines the strengths of Jakarto and PlanIT Geo: LiDAR and imagery data integration and processing, automated extraction using artificial intelligence, arborist expertise, and TreePlotter management tools. An integrated workflow, from geospatial data all the way to its daily use by urban forestry teams. #### 🎤 Two Presentations Not to Miss We will also be sharing our experience through **two presentations on Thursday, October 15**. ##### 🌲 1:30 p.m. — Hybrid by Design: A Practitioner-Led Model for LiDAR-Enabled Urban Tree Inventories in Canadian Cities **🗣️ Presentation in English; Ian Hanou — PlanIT Geo** This presentation will explore a hybrid approach to urban tree inventories, combining **LiDAR, automation, and human expertise** to enable large-scale inventories while preserving professional expertise where it brings the greatest value. 📍 Chêne rouge Room (2104AB) 🗓️ Thursday, October 15 — 1:30 p.m. ##### 🌳 2:30 p.m. — From Point Clouds to Policy: Mobile LiDAR-Based Vegetation Inventories for Scalable Urban Forestry **🗣️ Presentation in English; Bastien Lecigne — Jakarto** Bastien will present how **mobile LiDAR point clouds** can be transformed into information that municipalities can directly use to support inventories, planning, and urban forest management. 📍 Saint-Laurent Room (2000A) 🗓️ Thursday, October 15 — 2:30 p.m. #### 🏙️ Beyond Trees: A Digital Twin of the City The data used for an urban forestry project can serve many purposes beyond a tree inventory. LiDAR and imagery can help create a **geospatial digital twin of the city**, which can then be reused by multiple municipal departments, including engineering, public works, transportation, asset management, utilities, environment, and planning. The data can be viewed in the Jakarto platform, shared across teams, and integrated with the GIS tools already used by municipalities. #### 🤝 Come Meet Us in Québec City **Jakarto and PlanIT Geo will be together throughout the conference** to showcase our technologies, and several projects completed with North American municipalities. Are you planning a new tree inventory, looking to update your existing data, or interested in seeing how LiDAR, artificial intelligence, and arborist expertise can work together? **Come meet us in Québec City from October 13 to 16! 🌳**   ![avatar](https://www.jakarto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo_Jakarto_Noir_EN_JPG.jpg?width=290&name=logo_Jakarto_Noir_EN_JPG.jpg) #### [Jakarto](https://www.jakarto.com/en/blog/author/jakarto) Founded in 2017, Jakarto is a Quebec-based company specializing in the management and exploitation of LiDAR data through its advanced platform. Our mobile mapping units, equipped with LiDAR sensors and 360° imaging, capture the environment with engineering-grade precision to create detailed digital twins. Powered by artificial intelligence, we automate the inventory of urban assets (trees, roads, buildings, signage, etc.), enabling cities and businesses to better manage their territories. With Jakartowns, our interactive web platform, users gain access to a vast ecosystem of geospatial data to analyze, measure, and optimize their operations.
