New framework tackles urban planning's data crisis with practical evidence tools
Researchers have developed a working methodology to help cities make better planning decisions even when data is scarce or fragmented. The TWIN2EXPAND project offers a practical roadmap for turning evidence-based design from theory into actual policy, addressing a critical gap as climate pressures force faster urban decision-making.
Originaltitel: TWIN2EXPAND Research Report
The Research Report (Deliverable 4.5) presents the objectives, methodology, and outcomes of the Research Project conducted within Work Package 4 (WP4) of the TWIN2EXPAND project. The project addresses a central challenge in contemporary urban planning and design: how to operationalise Evidence-Based Design and Planning (EBDP) across different planning contexts, scales, and institutional environments, particularly under conditions of data scarcity, fragmentation, and climate urgency.
