Urban areas are very vulnerable to the impacts of climate changes, because of the high concentration ofpeople, infrastructure, and economic activity, but also because cities tend to exacerbate climate extremessuch as heat waves and flash floods. This article focuses on project Pan-European Urban Climate Service -PUCS Grant Agreement Number: 730004, Service Name: Climate-fit.city. Climate-fit.city translated the bestavailable scientific urban climate data into relevant information for public and private end-users operating incities across a range of different sectors. The service will quantify the impacts of climate (change) on a rangeof urban sectors and propose relevant solutions to customers. For Czech republic the main topic is urbanplanning. The sectoral service on urban planning is focused on the (cor)relation between urban climate (heat)and urban land use structure and development. The first step of the project was to define the needs andexpectations for an aplication of online analytical platform (one of the project products). The platform willalso allow dedicated tailored scenario analysis based on climate change modelling and varying urban landuse datasets. In three pilot areas, Prague, Ostrava and Hodonín, administration responsible for urbanplanning and strategical planning defined the needs and expectations. In this article will be described in moredetail why these three pilot cities were involved and how different expectations and needs representativeshave for these three areas.
