With rapid urbanization, urban systems are becoming increasingly complex making the planning and design of urban built environment more challenging. A combination of buildings, man-made materials, vegetation, urban parks and linkages to the rural surroundings are part of this complexity. Scarce resources and climate change add further challenges to the urban planning decision-making process. Hence, critically evaluating the alternate planning and design solutions at various scales are vital for developing optimum solutions. Urban simulation models and their visualization enable the evaluation and selection of alternatives. Knowledge and ability to assess the planning and design solution through simulations are essential for those involved in the planning and design of urban environment to address the challenges of climate change and to steer the urban development towards the Sustainable Development Goal – SDG 11. ENVI-met is a holistic 3D modelling software with a focus on climate adaptive urban planning. This three-dimensional microclimate simulation model allows users to design, simulate and analyse the impact of different Nature based Solutions on the urban microclimate for any urban setting for any climate zone around the globe. ENVI-met can be used in an interdisciplinary way to investigate the influences of urbanisation as it includes solar analysis, building physics, green and blue technologies, wind flow, outdoor thermal comfort, bioclimatology, and pollutant dispersion. Hands-on training of this software will empower architects, urban planners, scientists, geographers and landscape architects to simulate the changes in the urban environment and develop appropriate planning and design solutions for climate resilience
