The new method combines, for the first time in this pilot phase, the forecast of the CALIOPE-Urban air quality model, developed at the BSC and unique in Spain, with an extensive database of the city of Barcelona. The aim of this innovative methodology is to improve air quality management in urban areas by obtaining hourly maps of NO2 concentrations at the street level. More than 50% of the world's population lives in urban areas where the WHO recommended limits for air pollutants are often exceeded, with adverse health and economic effects. 99% of the w
