UN-Habitat
World Cities Report 2024
Urban climate, resilience, housing, and inclusion context for city-level interpretation.
Used as a policy and methodology reference for urban exposure and resilience signals.

Trusted sources
Each source is listed as crawlable text with a normal link. Future ingestion can attach exact dataset tables to the same source IDs.
World Health Organization
WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines
Health-based reference levels for PM2.5, PM10, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
Used to normalize air-quality indicators toward health-protective benchmarks.
NASA
NASA POWER
Satellite-derived solar and meteorological datasets for energy and climate screening.
Used as an energy-resource and weather-normalization reference.
European Environment Agency
Air Quality Status Report
European air-quality assessment context for pollutant trends, thresholds, and health risk framing.
Used where European city comparisons need monitored air-quality context.
US Environmental Protection Agency
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
Scientific and regulatory context for criteria pollutants and particulate matter standards.
Used where United States city comparisons need air-quality benchmark context.
IPCC
AR6 WGII Chapter 6: Cities, settlements and key infrastructure
Climate-risk and adaptation reference for cities, settlements, infrastructure, and resilience.
Used to explain urban climate vulnerability and adaptation scoring logic.

Explanation
The platform separates source identity from route content. Cities, countries, modules, and rankings reference source IDs, then pages render the matching source block in HTML. This keeps the data model scalable and makes source governance easier.
The current values are mock intelligence data. They are not presented as official measured observations; the source registry defines the trusted references that future ingestion should use.
Sources
These pages use trusted institutional references for methodology and context. Mock values are typed and ready to be replaced by API-backed city datasets without changing route structure.
