We are proposing a modular digital platform designed to help metropolitan areas, like Warsaw, understand, simulate, and mitigate Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). The solution is user-centric and scientifically robust, supporting urban planners and decision-makers with actionable insights.
The platform integrates several components:
• Dashboards and 2D mapping for project monitoring and indicator visualization.
• 3D simulations and digital twin capabilities for scenario analysis and
impact forecasting.
• Advanced environmental indicator calculations and forecasts using remote
sensing, terrestrial sensor networks empowered with AI/ML.
• Seamless data integration and synchronization with city’s existing IT systems.
The platform can track lifecycle of urban projects to measure the impact of those projects to a variety of indicators such as UHI index, land surface temperature, carbon storage, thermal stress, land cover, canopy density, etc. The solution can do 2D/3D scenario simulations to simulate the impact of those projects to key environmental indicators. The solution is interoperable, lightweight, and adaptable, designed to fit diverse user profiles (by using design thinking methodology, putting the user in the centre of all preoccupations) and integrate with existing urban planning workflows. The solution empowers cities to make data-driven decisions for climate resilience and sustainable urban development.
