Urban areas are ground zero for climate impacts. Climate-related disruptions are becoming more frequent and severe, making resilience a critical component of urban development. Digital technologies offer planners powerful tools to enable adaptive responses. The application of GIS for spatial vulnerability mapping, AI predictive analytics for climate forecasting, IoT networks for real-time environmental monitoring, and digital twins for simulating urban resilience scenarios has transformed urban resilience planning. By sharing empirical cases and actionable insights, this webinar highlights how planners can use digital innovation to embed resilience into urban systems.

In light of these concerns, the ISOCARP Initiative for Climate Resilience Planning in collaboration with the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) has organised this webinar with a focus on “Planning Resilience in a Digital Future.”
