Journey

The STC journey follows how local research on climate, health, inequality, resilience, and infrastructure has shaped wider questions about urban futures.

2022

Asking what makes a city resilient

The journey begins with a broad question: why do similar climate and environmental pressures lead to very different outcomes across urban communities? Early thinking connected health, inequality, public space, social relationships, and climate-responsive planning.

2023

Building the social foundations of resilience

The research turned toward the social and spatial foundations of resilience, examining how shared spaces, community networks, public facilities, environmental quality, and urban design influence people’s capacity to respond to change.

2024

Revealing unequal heat, health and adaptation

The research moved directly into urban climate risk, examining how heat exposure, healthcare access, green-space benefits, resident responses, social resources, and urban form combine to produce unequal health and resilience outcomes.

2025

Moving from local evidence to urban climate systems

The research began to move from individual urban studies toward wider climate systems, global comparison, urban climate modeling, infrastructure pathways, and questions of how cities may approach or avoid critical thresholds.

Shaping climate-resilient urban futures

Current work connects global urban climate modeling, heat-risk screening, tipping-point thinking, infrastructure resilience, datasets, figures, and public communication into a shared research platform.
