As a use case leader of the [Urban Building](https://aolh6.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/OycZvHuFo1eQuZV0QRzLKez0/tDjm3ww7bs...), I have some exciting news to share. The Urban Building pilot continues to make significant strides in enhancing our urban building modeling capabilities and user interfaces. In this newsletter, you can find a [brief overview of the latest advancements](https://aolh6.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/OycZvHuFo1kTcoK62M8quGrW/SYg5qrhdWg...). These updates and upcoming enhancements underline our commitment to providing state-of-the-art tools for urban modelling and simulation. We are excited about the possibilities these developments open up for urban planners and policymakers worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of high-performance computing to address global challenges. With warm regards, Christophe Prud'homme ###NEWS ####**Mini-symposium gets accepted in the ParCFD 2024** Our partners from HLRS and FAU are among the organisation committee of the mini-symposium on CI/CD and CFD, which was accepted at the ParCFD 2024 (35th International Conference on Parallel Computational Fluid Dynamics) in Bonn in September 2024.
