AB This chapter gives an introduction to risk-based vulnerability assessment of urban infrastructure regarding the consequences of climate change, by describing an approach developed as part of the EU-funded research and innovation project Climate Resilient Cities and Infrastructures. The approach is modular, widely applicable, and supported by a suite of software tools. It guides practitioners and end-users through the process of risk-based vulnerability assessment of urban systems, including built-up areas and (critical) infrastructure. How the approach can be adapted to and applied in a local context is demonstrated via its exemplary application in case studies with the four European cities Bilbao (Spain), Bratislava (Slovakia), Greater Manchester (United Kingdom), and Paris (France). Essential concepts for risk and vulnerability assessments and the current state of the art from related research projects are discussed before a detailed description of the developed approach and its supporting tools is given.

Without the great role model called “The Vulnerability Sourcebook”, developed by GIZ and Eurac, IVAVIA would certainly have looked quite different. We would like to thank Till Below (GIZ) and Stefan Schneiderbauer (Eurac) as representatives of the numerous colleagues in their organizations who have created the Sourcebook in 2014. We are also grateful for the repeated collaboration and exchanges between GIZ and Eurac and RESIN partner Fraunhofer since 2016, which contributed to shaping both the Sourcebook supplement and the IVAVIA Guideline document.
