Twin4Clim
In the EU INTERREG project Twin4Clim, Urban Digital Twins and application-oriented solution modules are being developed to enable proactive adaptation to climate change for municipalities. This supports more goal-oriented decision-making processes at the municipal level in the areas of urban development and densification, taking into account extreme rainfall events and green infrastructure, thus contributing to sustainable urban planning.
The Smart District Data Infrastructure (SDDI) serves as the framework for managing the Urban Digital Twins. As part of the project, the SDDI catalog is being further developed with a focus on usability and the use of large language models. The installation instructions for the SDDI catalog can be found at the following links: SDDI CKAN Docker and SDDI CKAN for Kubernetes.
Project Description
In the project Twin4Clim Urban Digital Twins and application-oriented solution modules are going to be developed to support proactive climate change adaptation for municipalities. This will enable municipal decision-making processes in the areas of urban development and densification to be more purposefully guided toward sustainable settlement development, taking into account heavy rainfall events and green infrastructure.
The solution modules are going to be implemented in three pilot municipalities in the Bavarian-Salzburg border region. An action plan with guidelines for the cross-border implementation of these solution modules—based on harmonized Urban Digital Twins—ensures transferability to other municipalities on both sides of the border. Cross-border transfer events and innovative formats by Bayern Innovativ and Innovation Salzburg—such as an Innovation & Startup Challenge—ensure broad knowledge transfer to municipalities, service providers, regional and national authorities, interest groups, sectoral agencies, and the public.
