Initial situation 

In order to achieve international sustainability goals, it is crucial to adapt cities to the impacts of climate change caused by extreme weather events, such as infrastructure deterioration or biodiversity loss. Due to increasing urbanization, urban populations are particularly at risk. These developments pose new challenges for urban planners and regional decision-makers because they lack the necessary data to implement local adaptation measures. Participatory data collection on local climate conditions, together with approaches based on new information and communication technologies (ICT) (e.g. CrowdMapping), could help fill this gap and therefore contribute to the planning of adaptation measures and increase the resilience of infrastructure and supply services. The project draws on ICT and web-based methods and strengthens the resilience of the city (and the surrounding region) by integrating them into urban management, particularly urban planning.
