The design of sustainable cities is in your hands
There is no doubt climate change will bring negative impacts on the urban habitat. As an urban planner, architect or landscape architect you will have the opportunity to contribute to climate adaptation for the benefit of the urban life of tomorrow.
ENVI-met will help you in every step along the way. You can explore and measure the climate impact of diverse urban design strategies and nature-based solutions to address climate challenges and improve urban resilience. ENVI-met Student offers you support to develop professional, climate-friendly projects.
