Developing climate change adaptation measures for urban planning in the city of Munich (Germany) using the urban climate model PALM-4U

The changing climate will effect urban areas strongly, potentially increasing length and strength of phenomena like urban heat islands. To counteract those effects muliple adaptations measures are avalible, leading to the question: Which methodes to use for which areas when? Whitin the UCARe4Citizen project architects planned different climate adaptation measures. Measures were simulated with the urban climate model PALM-4U and results were compared to the current state in the area. Then the most succsessful measures were combined to be used in a final simulation. This paper shows an approach to develop climate adaptation measures with PALM-4U in a cooperation between architects and urban climatologists.
