TerraDT, alongside its sister project UrbanAIR is organising an Urban Impact Model Workshop in Barcelona this February, bringing together public and private stakeholders working at the intersection of cities, climate adaptation and decision-making.
The workshop will showcase how TerraDT’s urban impact models translate high-resolution climate and environmental data into actionable insights for cities. Participants will explore use cases relevant to urban planning and climate adaptation policies with a focus on heat stress, air quality, extreme events, and their impacts on people, infrastructure, and assets. The event will also host experts from our sister project UrbanAIR, the digital twin for urban climate action.
Designed for city and urban planners, local and national authorities, weather and health services and environmental agencies but also for real estate investors and insurance companies, the event will offer a space to engage directly with scientists and model developers. Through targeted presentations and interactive discussions, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how digital twins can support evidence-based policies, resilient urban development, and informed strategies for more resilient cities.
The workshop also aims to gather feedback from practitioners, ensuring that TerraDT’s urban impact models respond to real-world needs and decision contexts. Participants will leave with practical insights into how advanced climate modelling can be integrated into planning, risk management, and long-term urban strategies.
