Abstract

This paper gives an overview of a decision support system for scientists and city planners which shall be suitable to assess climate change effects on urban environments, and which shall enable city planners to investigate different measures to cope with potential effects of climate change. The system named SUDPLAN (Sustainable Urban Development Planner) is currently under development and the first version of the SUDPLAN software will be available when the HICSS conference is held. SUDPLAN is a project funded under the European Framework Program FP7.
