Yesterday, the kick-off meeting of our KLAIR research project took place in person in Vienna. KLAIR is developing an AI-supported urban climate analysis map that visualizes microclimatic stressors and can simulate climate change adaption scenarios such as greening or redensification.

The aim is to better understand heat-related stressors and support cities in climate-resilient and health-oriented development.

KLAIR is funded by the FFG as part of the mission “Climate-neutral city – technologies and innovations for the climate-neutral city 2025.” The project partners are , IBO – Austrian Institute for Building Biology and Ecology, (Medical University of Vienna) and ubicube GmbH.

In 2024, Superwien supported the Government of The Bahamas in close collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank through a CCLIP program aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, advancing inclusive and climate resilient mobility in New Providence.

Together, we developed a strategic framework for safer, more accessible, and climate adaptive streets in Nassau and across New Providence, including safer intersections, upgraded sidewalks and bus stops, traffic calming, green infrastructure, and improved drainage.

The project prioritized pedestrians, cyclists, and vulnerable users while reducing flood risks and emissions. It demonstrates how integrated design and climate adaptation can create safer, greener, and more connected urban environments.

Developed for a two-stage realization competition at Mendelgasse in Graz, the project proposes an active ground-floor zone along the neighborhood avenue. A diverse housing mix is combined with an innovative, building-integrated noise protection facing the busy thoroughfare Liebenauer Tangente. At its core, a generous green center and versatile residential courtyards shape an affordable, community-oriented urban living environment.

We are part of CATALYSE, a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Commission, supporting European cities on their path towards climate neutrality. The project focuses on better connecting local initiatives and strengthening the role of knowledge institutions as trusted partners in urban innovation and transformation processes.

Within the Vienna pilot, the project explores the transformation of former railway station areas as strategic sites for climate-neutral and socially inclusive urban development. superwien contributes its expertise in co-creation and participatory urban planning, working closely with AIT and TU Wien future.lab to support collaborative experimentation and long-term change at the local level.

CATALYSE brings together four pilot cities: Leipzig and Rotterdam (EU Cities Mission cities) as well as Manchester and Vienna, enabling exchange across different urban contexts.
