UrbanSquare: DestinE Empowering Urban Resilience Against Climate Challenges

Discover UrbanSquare, a tool designed to help decision-makers to tackle climate-related urban challenges. With cities increasingly bearing the brunt of climate change effects – from relentless heatwaves and urban heat islands to catastrophic flooding and coastal erosion – the need for a robust, data-driven approach to urban planning has never been more critical. UrbanSquare provides a comprehensive tool for assessing urban climate risks and fostering climate resilience across urban landscapes.

This webinar delves into how UrbanSquare leverages the DestinE Digital Twins, to offer a dynamic, multifaceted view of urban climate threats and their potential impacts. By integrating short-term simulation capabilities with long-term strategic planning, UrbanSquare enables stakeholders to navigate immediate hazards while building a sustainable, resilient urban future.

The webinar will also cover how UrbanSquare’s plans to scale up beyond the use case objectives.
