Support Science for Livable Cities
As we mark our 10th anniversary, the Urban Systems Lab is launching a new decade of impact to advance urban systems science, climate resilience, and interdisciplinary research to support communities that need it most.
A Decade of Impact
Over the past decade, the Urban Systems Lab has advanced the science of cities to help communities respond to growing environmental and social risks. We focus on cities because they are where climate impacts are greatest and where solutions can scale fastest.
150+ scientific publications
60 reports and book chapters
$10M+ in research funding secured
$40M+ mobilized for partners
Hundreds of students and researchers trained
The Next 10 Years
The next decade of urban climate action starts now. Here’s how you can help scale science, tools, and solutions for cities.
Scale next-generation climate tools
Expand tools like ClimateIQ to deliver critical climate risk insights where they are needed most.
Advance Nature-Based Solutions
Drive global implementation of solutions that protect communities while restoring ecosystems.
Train Future Scientists
Support the next generation of urban climate scientists and practitioners shaping resilient cities.
Champion science at a critical moment
Advance the science cities need to understand risk and scale climate resilience worldwide.
Support Our Work
We are seeking collaborators and supporters to help expand global partnerships and scale nature-based solutions for urban climate adaptation. Together, we aim to:
Advance urban systems science
Develop and deploy new tools
Strengthen global collaboration
Train the next generation
We are looking to partner with:
• Researchers
• Cities and communities
• Funders
• Global networks
