Research Phase: Establishing the Urban Health and Climate Baseline
This phase defines the starting point for each case study site.
Researchers analyze the existing urban and environmental conditions using ecosystem indicators on walkability, surface runoff, urban heat, and biotope loss.
The results identify vulnerable areas, slower-paced groups, and baseline data to support future planning and design actions.
Overview
The Research Workspace provides Survey123 forms for registering existing datasets from recognized open sources that comply with Open Data licensing and EU INSPIRE metadata requirements, as well as for uploading new data relevant to each case.
The phase is organized around a five-box matrix that spans multiple urban scales, focusing on key aspects of the baseline assessment from city-scale structures to street-level dynamics.
