Abstract

SmartWater is a Berlin-wide initiative that integrates blue and green infrastructure measures into urban planning through three digital tools. The tools are being tested in two contrasting districts and comprise of a planning tool, a digital game and a flood information portal. These prototypes demonstrate the potential of blue-green infrastructure to reduce flood risk, mitigate heat stress and enhance urban climate resilience. The development process has been meticulously structured to facilitate a collaborative co-design process involving administrations, utilities, experts and residents. This approach has been instrumental in elucidating the governance needs, data requirements and communication pathways. The findings illustrate the efficacy of coordinated modelling and shared digital infrastructures in facilitating decision-making processes, enhancing public comprehension, and providing a transferable framework for urban areas aspiring to enhance climate adaptation through integrated and pragmatic approaches.
