2025
This stage marked a change in scale. Earlier studies had shown how climate pressure interacts with health services, social resources, public space, and urban form. The next step was to examine whether these relationships could be studied across wider urban systems.
Featured direction
Scaling up requires more than adding cities. It requires deciding which social and spatial differences must remain visible, and where global comparison risks simplifying the inequalities it aims to explain.
Stage summary
Earlier studies had shown how climate pressure interacts with health services, social resources, public space, and urban form. The next step was to ask whether these relationships could be studied across many cities while still preserving the inequalities revealed by local evidence. This stage connected local findings with wider questions of climate modeling, infrastructure, urban development pathways, and critical thresholds.
No formal publication outputs are listed for this stage. The year focused on developing wider research questions, methods, modeling frameworks, and new doctoral research directions.
Figures and maps
This stage developed broader conceptual frameworks for comparing urban climate risk, infrastructure, health, inequality, and system change across cities.
Datasets
Research began assembling broader urban, climate, population, health, infrastructure, and spatial datasets for comparative and modeling work.
Notes and updates
Scaling up is not simply a matter of adding more cities. It requires deciding which social and spatial differences must remain visible, and where global models risk hiding the inequalities they aim to explain.
