+description: The City Science Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research group within the Department of Physics and
+Astronomy at the University of Bologna. The Laboratory leverages expertise in physics, mathematics, and
+computer science to explore and understand the complexity of urban systems. With a focus on mobility, climate,
+and energy, the Laboratory aims to contribute to the development of sustainable and resilient cities by advancing
+scientific methodologies and computational tools. The Laboratory collaborates closely with CINECA, one of the
+largest high-performance computing centers in Europe, on several urban Digital Twin initiatives. A notable
+example is the Digital Twin of the City of Bologna, which integrates diverse datasets and advanced modeling
+techniques to provide actionable insights for urban planning, climate adaptation, and energy efficiency. The
+Laboratory offers the expertise in the fields, Urban LiDAR and Orthophoto Analysis, Infrastructure Morphology
+and Indicators, Vegetation and Climate Vulnerability Indices, Building Energy Simulations, Urban Microclimate
+Simulations, Vehicular Mobility Modeling, Pedestrian Dynamics and Crowd Analysis. The City Science
+Laboratory combines advanced computational methods with real-world applications, fostering collaborations with
+stakeholders to address critical urban challenges and promote evidence-based decision-making.
