Discover how MapStakes can be used to make smart city planning more inclusive. This policy toolkit discusses how the approach can help ensure stakeholder representation, as well as improve an understanding of which stakeholders are most affecting, and being affected by, smart city developments.

This case study demonstrates how citizen science can be used to identify the water and sanitation needs of homeless populations in Mexico City.

Citizen Science that is co-created with stakeholders and citizens to support the design, implementation, and outcomes of a project.

The first MAIA Webinar took place on 9 June 2023, addressing the theme “Advancing Climate Resilience in European Cities: Innovations and Strategies for Urban Adaptation” with the participation of three EU-Funded Projects: CityCLIM, LIFE BAETULO, and ICARIA. Click here to read the lessons learned from this insightful webinar.

Explore the findings of the CLIC project “Are cities properly preparing for climate change?” and learn more about the European Research Council (ERC) funded project ‘IMAGINE adaptation’ in this policy brief. It highlights the urgent need to evaluate adaptation in urban areas and understand progress across governance levels.

This case study uses the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) Tool to create a model of Vermont to explore scenarios that achieve the Green House Gas (GHG) reduction targets for 2025, 2030 and 2050 set out in the state’s Global Warming Solutions Act.

See key findings and priority recommendations made to the Government of the United Kingdom in March 2023 by the Climate Change Committee in support of the National Adaptation Programme.

Discover how the OPAL Water Survey investigated water quality across the UK and learn about what invertebrate indicator species can tell us about pollution levels in water bodies. This approach can be used to investigate potential influences of urban areas on water quality and thus resilience to environmental changes.

Learn about how a nation-wide survey and citizen science approaches can be used to better understand the relationship between urbanisation, vegetation and invertebrate diversity through the lens of the Bugs Count survey implemented in the UK.

This case study uses the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) Tool as a decision support system for sustainable water supply planning in the United States.
