urbisphere - coupling dynamic cities and climate

Growing cities face a number of problems relating to climatic conditions and congestion. The EU-funded urbisphere initiative will adopt a radically new approach in addressing this issue. It will forecast and project urban futures and climates using a dynamic framework that incorporates weather, air quality, differential exposure and vulnerability of people from neighbourhoods to cities. The project will develop and link urban-surface models as well as human exposure and vulnerability models to better forecast exposure, emissions and intervention potential in cities. The system will use a real-time 4D smart urban observation system to provide targeted data using novel ground and remote-sensing technology. The urbisphere project will show scientists a new way to conceptualise, characterise and forecast climate and urban planning for cities.
