Abstract:: SUDPLAN is an EU FP7 project combining IT and environmental knowhow in a novel way, bringing an easy-to-use, web-based decision support system for urban climate services. It will allow city planners to take climate change and its impact on the urban environment into account in the urban planning process. The main components of the SUDPLAN product are the Scenario Management System, the Common Services and the four pilot applications. This presentation describes the goals of the project, the consortium and the basic structure of the Scenario Management system and the Common Services. The usefulness of the system will be demonstrated in four pilot cities, but whatever European city can easily make use of the SUDPLAN Common Services offered.
