SuDS DNA citiesClimateScan is an open source interactive web-based map application for international knowledge exchange on 'blue-green' (BGI) / NBS / SUDS projects around the globe. Key objectives include urban resilience, climate proofing and climate adaptation. Between 2014 and 2017 (Boogaard et al …

This presentation presented 2 examples of analysing and visualisations of ClimateScan platform data. Analysing the open-source Change Adaptation Platform ClimateScan shows that surface bio filtration is the category with most uploads, which is the case in Riga (started green infrastructure around 2020) …

In 2024 the Low Impact Development Devices (LID) open-source international database ClimateScan consist of over 14.000 climate adaption related projects uploaded in the period of 2014–2024. For cities with over 500 projects, this offers an opportunity to construct a LID-DNA of the city. LID-DNA presents …
