Abstract

Urban areas are very vulnerable to the impacts of climate changes, because of the high concentration of people, infrastructure, and economic activity, but also because cities tend to exacerbate climate extremes such as heat waves and flash floods. This article focuses on project Pan-European Urban Climate Service - PUCS Grant Agreement Number: 730004, Service Name: Climate-fit.city. Climate-fit.city translated the best available scientific urban climate data into relevant information for public and private end-users operating in cities across a range of different sectors. The service will quantify the impacts of climate (change) on a range of urban sectors and propose relevant solutions to customers. For Czech republic the main topic is urban planning. The sectoral service on urban planning is focused on the (cor)relation between urban climate (heat) and urban land use structure and development. The first step of the project was to define the needs and expectations for an aplication of online analytical platform (one of the project products). The platform will also allow dedicated tailored scenario analysis based on climate change modelling and varying urban land use datasets. In three pilot areas, Prague, Ostrava and Hodonín, administration responsible for urban planning and strategical planning defined the needs and expectations. In this article will be described in more detail why these three pilot cities were involved and how different expectations and needs representatives have for these three areas.
