City scale urban climate models focus on simulating atmospheric processes across neighbourhoods up to entire cities, with spatial resolutions typically between hundreds of meters and a few kilometres. These models are crucial for studying phenomena such as the urban heat island effect and air pollution. However, challenges remain in improving model representation of urban heterogeneity, energy fluxes, and land-atmosphere interactions. Recent advances include better integration of satellite data and high-resolution urban datasets. However, research gaps persist in accurately modelling urban-rural interactions, energy balance components, and the impact of new urban infrastructure.

We invite research on improving model accuracy, incorporating real-time observations, and exploring climate adaptation strategies in urban settings. Example of topics include modelling urban heat island effects at city scale, improvements in energy flux representation in urban models, incorporating nature-based solutions into city scale models, validation using multi-source datasets (e.g., satellite, ground measurements), etc.
