PROJECT DESCRITPTION
Urban development and planning play an important role to fulfill Agenda 2030 and the Paris climate agreement. However, while cities account for 70% of the total manmade GHG emission, only 1% of this is directly controlled by municipal governments, while the rest is spread between industrial, residential, and business emitters. The aim of the project is to develop a digital twin approach to integrate societal demands and city planning requirements to implement positive energy urban districts.

DUTIES
The work will be carried out in the Architecture group of Luleå University of technology in Luleå.
