On the way to adaptation to the climate impact in urban construction - with the toolbox of Geo-IT

Abstract

This article examines climate-impact adaptation in urban construction through the toolbox of Geo-IT. Cities face different climate risks depending on terrain, land cover, building patterns, drainage, vegetation, and population distribution. Geospatial tools can bring these factors together to help planners identify vulnerable areas and compare adaptation measures. Mapping and spatial analysis can support decisions about green infrastructure, water management, heat mitigation, and resilient development. A practical toolbox is most effective when it combines reliable data, transparent methods, and workflows that fit the planning process. It should help translate climate information into location-specific action rather than leaving evidence disconnected from implementation. Collaboration between geospatial specialists, urban planners, engineers, and public authorities is important because adaptation measures often cross administrative and disciplinary boundaries. The article’s topic is relevant to climate resilience, sustainable urban development, and digital planning. This abstract is based on the title and is not the authors’ original abstract.
