Welcome!
WISE-Casablanca is designed to impart knowledge about aspects of climate, environment, natural resources, interactions and connected risks, urban planning and socio-economic fields of interest. The information services are established in the frame of the research project "Urban Agriculture as an Integrative Factor of Climate-Optimised Urban Development, Casablanca” funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
The provided information services are associated to one or several target groups, sectors and themes, each with specifically designed contents. Users may easily find the required information by using the respective menus for navigation.
Less details...Public availability of the above mentioned contents is a key strategy to raise the awareness of the importance to consider respective aspects in spatial planning as well as to promote sustainable handling of the environment. Provision of background information and specifically designed information services support decision making in agriculture and in urban and rural planning. Capacity building is a major concern of this freely available information system, enabling users to develop and optimize their strategies according to their needs. Education via e-learning is a further component of the concept.
