Workshop: Make the invisible city visible with Geospatial Knowledge Graphs

Spatial planning revolves around analysis and decision-making. But how do you still know what influences what? And if you already have the data, how do you establish the connections? Geospatial knowledge graphs make this possible, thereby offering concrete opportunities for spatial planning in European cities. The GeoAI Toolkit for Urban Planners, developed by ICLEI, demonstrates how the combination of a language model, RAG, and a geospatial knowledge graph enables planners to query multiple conditions simultaneously – from nitrogen space and energy capacity to ecological values ​​and the environmental management plan. No longer 'is it permitted here?', but 'where do the conditions converge?'

The workshop presents three concrete GeoAI applications that cities and organizations are actively using to address some of the most urgent urban challenges of the climate crisis: climate vulnerability and urban heat maps, wildfire detection, and flood risk management. Three practitioners will each present their tool in action. Participants will then get to work with them themselves.
