We are very excited to announce that URBREATH will join the 3rd Destination Earth (DestinE) User eXchange), during an inspiring session organized by VITO, focusing on health, heat stress, and air quality. This session will showcase ongoing work from URBREATH, offering valuable insights into the future of sustainable urban planning.
As cities face growing environmental challenges, URBREATH offers an inspiring vision: to reimagine urban living by transforming concrete jungles into vibrant, green havens. By integrating nature into cities through green roofs, urban forests, and wetlands, URBREATH aims to combat the urban heat island effect, reduce flood risks, and improve air quality.
The User eXchange will convene current and potential users of DestinE alongside system developers to demonstrate how the platform’s resources can benefit projects like URBREATH. DestinE’s digital twins—virtual models powered by real-time environmental data—will play a crucial role in supporting URBREATH’s vision. These tools allow cities to track air quality, monitor heat stress, and manage risks, helping municipalities make informed decisions and engage their communities in sustainable transformation.
The event’s goals include sharing updates on the DestinE system, showcasing user experiences, and gathering feedback for future adaptations. URBREATH’s participation will highlight how digital innovation, paired with nature-based solutions, can create healthier, more resilient urban environments.
Join Stijn Vranckx from VITO to explore how URBREATH is paving the way for greener, climate-resilient cities and how DestinE’s advanced tools are essential to this transformation!
