Fact based strategies towards more climate adaptive and liveable cities
Transforming urban systems to thrive in change
Rapidly spreading land degradation, growing social and economical inequalities, pandemic regulations, and the increasing effects of climate change show that cities and regions will continue to face new, as yet little-known, challenges in the near future.
Our cities and regions require practical and sustainable solutions to be able to adapt to change, but complexities of such a planning are often causing difficulties to bring them forward.
I utilise systems thinking to identify vulnerabilities, and strategically build key adaptive capacities for social ecological resilience. Those are most effective, and crucial ways to create new governance models, management regimes, strategies, plans and projects that enable cities and regions to thrive in change.
We can create that kind of world together.

Smart Perspectives
A key aspect to making the resilient development a reality is by recognising vulnerabilities within existing resources, and providing methods on how to build capacities to evolve with change.
I manage knowledge, monitor progress, and make sure that industry, organisations, and policy makers have the right data to guide the strategies, projects and policies based on resilience principles.
Smart Maps
Working internationally with global organisations, I seek to identify, understand and address vulnerabilities and opportunities in local communities. I enable my clients to map their resilience challenges and provide the strategies to meet them, through in-depth locally useful research and evaluation.
