Integrating modelling, simulation and data management tools to create a planning support system for the improvement of air quality by urban planning solutions

The urbanization pressure requires urban planners, designers, and policy makers to be more responsive to the challenges related to improving the quality of the urban environment and the living conditions of the inhabitants. One of the many environmental issues that need to be taken into account is urban air pollution. As the process of urban ventilation and air pollution dis-persion is significantly affected by the urban layout, the planning and design practice offers some solutions for urban air quality improvement. The paper outlines the most important planning implications for the integrated manage-ment of urban ventilation and air quality. The results indicate that the integra-tion of various scale-adaptive modelling, simulation, and data management tools is necessary for the comprehensive assessment of the impact of spatial solutions on urban air quality and the formulation of planning outlines. A case study of the city of Warsaw, Poland, was demonstrated in the paper.
