Funded through international climate financing by the Flemish Government, VITO co-created the platform with its consortium partners, Avia-GIS and PHFI-CEH; the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University Lucknow (FoAP-AKTU); the Lucknow Municipal Corporation; and other Indian urban, climate and health experts. The dashboard contains a rich collection of GIS mapping, analyses and modelling results, integrating urban growth, climatic conditions and vector borne disease trajectories from 2010 to 2050 and up to 2070.

The digitized information can be further used for constructing other layers related to environment and infrastructure development.
