Our Vision for Climate-Resilient Cities and Regions
Through our research, we contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and support cities and decision-makers in transforming our neighbourhoods, cities, and regions into sustainable, resilient, and liveable spaces. We address the challenges of climate change and decarbonisation, and assist in developing transformation pathways towards climate-neutral cities (and world).
In the era of digitalisation and climate change, we are pioneering the planning and realisation of the sustainable, intelligent, and resilient living environments of tomorrow. AIT is an independent knowledge partner, developing innovative solutions for sustainable urban development and the transformation of our cities.
Innovative solutions for urban challenges / Our approach
Our approach is our distinctive feature. Our interdisciplinary team combines scientifically grounded expertise with the latest digital planning tools that integrate a wide range of datasets and leverage artificial intelligence (AI). We offer a holistic perspective on urban challenges and enable urban development processes to be supported with evidence-based decision-making while actively involving stakeholders in the process. At AIT’s City Intelligence Lab – a platform for resilient urban development – this is achieved through interactive planning models and mixed reality interfaces. Our services are based on scientific methods and innovation – allowing us to frame and address tomorrow’s urban challenges and questions today.
Project-based co-operation - individual concepts and customised strategies
Do you have a specific need? We support you with tailored concepts and customised strategies through our interdisciplinary team of experts. A project can provide you with well-founded decision-making tools, specialist studies, data models, or tools to simplify your processes. We always strive to align our service offering with your needs, remain open to your challenges, and are committed to finding the right solutions for you.
Planning and Project Support / Continuous Quality Assurance
We support development projects with holistic quality assurance, process development, and in-depth studies on domain-specific issues. We organise co-creation workshops to explore planning topics in greater depth and enable evidence-based discussions for decision-making. We also assist with participation processes and living labs, and support stakeholder management on sustainability topics in cities and regions.
Collaborations in Contract Research
As a non-university research institution, we are committed to working jointly with industry on projects and to bridging research and practical relevance through collaborative initiatives.
