New Article on Urban Climate Analysis Maps

Due to their high density and sealing, cities are vulnerable to more frequently occurring extreme weather events such as heat, heavy rainfall and storms. Urban planning needs to respond to these climate risks. Urban climate analysis maps are used to assess the risks that climate-related hazards may pose to cities and their populations. Subsequently, planning recommendation maps are used to inform urban planning processes and to derive effective measures for climate change adaptation planning.

A new article “Components of Urban Climate Analyses for the Development of Planning Recommendation Maps” was open acces published within our smartWB project team by Florian Reinwald and colleagues. You can read the paper for free following this link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.uclim.2024.102090
