Gaby Langendijk gave an overview on urban climate models and their use in regional climate models that participated in the EURO-CORDEX project.

The possible impact of urban areas on regional and global climate was discussed by Peter Hoffmann using the results of a climate model coupled to an urban parameterization. The conference showcased the ongoing research that could feed into the development of climate services tailored for urban areas.
