Copernicus for Urban Resilience in Europe: First Results from the CURE project

Kurzfassung

A major challenge for the urban community is the exploitation of the Copernicus products in dealing with the multidimensional nature of urban sustainability towards enhancing urban resilience. The H2020-Space funded project CURE (Copernicus for Urban Resilience in Europe) synergistically exploits Copernicus Core Services to develop an umbrella cross-cutting application for urban resilience. CURE is expected to provide the urban planning community with spatially disaggregated environmental information at local scale. It uses DIAS (Data and Information Access Services) to develop a system integrating this application, capable of supporting operational applications and downstream services across Europe in the future. Furthermore, CURE is expected to provide scenarios on how the developed system could potentially be integrated into the existing Copernicus service architecture addressing also its economic feasibility.
