Progress & news

Adaptable Cities has already made great progress, but we still need your help to shape the initiative.

While still in its early stages, the Adaptive Cities initiative has made significant progress. Our year-long intensive research and conceptual development have laid a robust foundation for this groundbreaking digital public infrastructure.

Spotlight on Santiago
 

Through our initial consultations and design workshops, local partners and stakeholders at the nexus of extreme heat and its health impacts in Santiago, Chile, coalesced on four high-impact applications of an open digital twin:

​

  • Making the case for nature-based cooling solutions

  • Planning for more efficient and effective use of water

  • Strengthening communications for public action during high-risk events

  • Holistically informing city management decisions
