Yesterday, the kick-off meeting of our KLAIR research project took place in person in Vienna. KLAIR is developing an AI-supported urban climate analysis map that visualizes microclimatic stressors and can simulate climate change adaption scenarios such as greening or redensification.

The aim is to better understand heat-related stressors and support cities in climate-resilient and health-oriented development.

KLAIR is funded by the FFG as part of the mission “Climate-neutral city – technologies and innovations for the climate-neutral city 2025.” The project partners are , IBO – Austrian Institute for Building Biology and Ecology, (Medical University of Vienna) and ubicube GmbH.

We are part of CATALYSE, a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Commission, supporting European cities on their path towards climate neutrality. The project focuses on better connecting local initiatives and strengthening the role of knowledge institutions as trusted partners in urban innovation and transformation processes.

Within the Vienna pilot, the project explores the transformation of former railway station areas as strategic sites for climate-neutral and socially inclusive urban development. superwien contributes its expertise in co-creation and participatory urban planning, working closely with AIT and TU Wien future.lab to support collaborative experimentation and long-term change at the local level.

CATALYSE brings together four pilot cities: Leipzig and Rotterdam (EU Cities Mission cities) as well as Manchester and Vienna, enabling exchange across different urban contexts.
