Abstract

Graz has emerged as a pioneer in climate-responsive urban planning, combining decades of
research with innovative geospatial applications. Within the EU-funded USAGE project, the
city validated satellite thermal imagery against aerial surveys and applied the “3-30-300 rule”
to map access to green infrastructure, feeding results into its Klimainformationssystem. A complementary
aerial thermal campaign captured high-resolution rooftop data to identify energy
loss, supporting both municipal strategies and citizen-led renovations. These initiatives illustrate
how integrating satellite, aerial, and ground-based data can transform climate monitoring into
practical planning tools. Graz’s approach offers a scalable model for European cities seeking
sustainable development and greater climate resilience.
