In the project EKLIPS3plus1 —Efficient and Climate-Resilient Urban Planning with Three Digital Twins in One Region—the Wupperverband, KISTERS AG, the Free University of Berlin, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, the Technical University of Dortmund, the University of Potsdam, and HafenCity University Hamburg are collaborating to accelerate critical climate adaptation efforts. The initiative focuses on municipal land-use and landscape planning across the three major cities of the Bergisches Land region: Remscheid, Solingen, and Wuppertal. By establishing a shared data infrastructure and leveraging urban digital twins (UDTs), the project integrates advanced planning tools, scenario modeling, and real-time climate, geospatial, and remote sensing data. This enables data- and knowledge-driven decision-making, with a particular emphasis on analyzing interdependencies within the digital twins. The result is a dynamic intermunicipal planning framework that evolves through continuous feedback and automation—paving the way for more agile, coordinated, and climate-resilient urban development.
