Multi-Level Toolset for Steering Urban Green Infrastructure to Support the Development of Climate-Proofed Cities

Adapting spatial development to the challenges of climate change is a major task facing cities. In particular, urban heat islands caused by increasing average temperatures and urban growth are a challenge for cities. The use of climate simulations to assess current and future urban heat stress is a...
