RETIME Project Launches Video Highlighting Innovative Urban Resilience Solutions

Extreme weather events—such as hurricanes, wildfires, heatwaves, and heavy snowstorms—are on the rise, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Many cities lack long-term resilience strategies tailored to local challenges, leaving communities exposed to growing risks.

To address these issues, RETIME is developing key tools to support urban resilience, including:

• A resilience knowledge hub and decision support platform to aid urban planning;
• An automated sensor-based IT alert system for improved disaster response;
• A digital building twin to model and predict structural resilience;
• A digital building renovation passport to guide sustainable renovations.

Between 2024 and 2028, RETIME will test these solutions in three pilot locations: Lisbon (Portugal), Žilina (Slovakia), and Tartu (Estonia). Each site offers unique climate conditions and urban challenges, ensuring that RETIME’s solutions are adaptable to different environments.

By equipping decision-makers with advanced risk assessment tools and fostering community awareness, RETIME is working toward a future where cities can better withstand and respond to climate change challenges.
