The present paper summarizes the results of a multi-national multi-year effort within the framework of a European project. First, the extent and implications of the UHI phenomena in a number of Central European cities were explored. Subsequently, a number of urban areas were selected for the conception and predictive assessment of urban intervention scenarios (so-called mitigation measures). The selected mitigation measures were then virtually implemented in an advanced urabn modelling environment to quantitaively assess their implications for the key indicators of urban climate. The analysis of the simulation results allows for a systematic evaluation and ranking of the aforementioned mitigation measures. Additionally, the paper explores the potential of an empricially-based simulation calibration process. For this purpose, a small control area in the city of Vienna, Austria, was selected. The data obtained from the on-site stationary wheater station was used to evaluate the accuracy of the simulation output. The results highlight the potential of the calibration process in improving the quality of simulation-based predicitions.
