Implementing Agile Data Workflows to Unlock Climate-Resilient Urban Planning

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report (Previous Reviewer 2)

Comments to the Author

Thanks to the authors for this really interesting paper. I do however have several comments that I think must be rectified prior to publication. 

major corrections: 

·         Abstract: The authors should consider adding a sentence that highlights the [theoretical and/or practical] contribution of this particular study to the abstract.

·         You need to add clear aim and objectives. 

·         I need to see a clear statement for the research problem. 

·         Literature Review: Authors are advised to make efforts to clearly introduce (i.e. by outlining the themes covered in the section) and conclude (i.e. by outlining the implications of the review for the study, as well as the design of the consequent conceptual framework) the Literature Review

·         the contributions and novelty of the work/method is limited" you need to add : contribution section, you can specifically explain what your contribution is, and the contributions in the sense described above - how does this work push the boundaries of the field.

·         some parts in the paper need to add more references ( your paper still need to add references to support) , 

·         you need to write about more urban planning strategies for mitigating climate change and I suggest to use in somehow in the literature about One of the types different planning dealing with climate impacts such as transport planning policy ( use related references)  In somehow link it with your topic

·         Check the grammar and the page reference format style, please make sure to follow exactly the journal format. 

·         Please, make sure to put explanation in the text context for each tables, figure, and charts 

·         You need to do editing and proofreading for the paper to make it high quality enough . 

·         At end of your manuscript before the conclusion part you need to add more to reflect your results form the analysis and create a develop framework for your conceptual framework, after you have done the research what is the finds result you want to tell us. 

·         The Abstract part: Please provide more details, in both quality and quantity of the main findings of this paper.

·         The Conclusion section can also be extended and drawing the future works trend. In this case, at least one paragraph should be provided for the researchers working in this field.

·         The conclusion sums up the scope of the manuscript, I would also add what could be possible limitations of this framework in the real-world context and what future research goals do you have to expand upon this work. 

·         You need to add methodology part to explain your method in details. 

·         You need to add analysis part and add your results  then compare with literature review ( what are the similarities and 

What are the difference between your results and other’s studies)

·         you need to more references.

 

 

·         You need to show us what is different type of urban planning strategies for mitigating climate change in your literature.

The writing is fine

Reviewer 2 Report (Previous Reviewer 3)

A study was conducted to identify the structure of climate information shared among agencies in Germany. The study evaluated the gap in knowledge transfer and proposed a framework for agile data flow for climate change adaptation. The authors have addressed all the comments and query from the earlier review. However, there are still some concerns and minor English connection needed before being considered for publication. My specific comments as attached.

Reviewer 3 Report

A study was conducted to propose an agile framework to integrate climate data into existing urban planning practices in Constance. This topic is of high interest in the research area of sustainable future cities. However, much of the key information is lacking throughout the manuscript. For example, the authors can elaborate more on the role of each stakeholder and how would they make good use of the climate data. More specific comments are included in the attached file.

Minor editing of language is required to enhance readability.
