Cities great and small are facing the impacts of climate change and the need to develop greater resilience. Urban leaders and communities want quality of life, wellbeing, and financial security to be protected at the same time as the physical resilience of critical infrastructure and systems.
At the same time, net zero targets are focusing leaders’ minds on how to decarbonise their cities. Given the contribution cities make to global greenhouse gas emissions, leaders will increasingly be expected to take action to reduce emissions as they simultaneously build resilience and create truly sustainable and liveable cities. We provide systematic support on these complex goals, working in partnership.
“Cities are at the heart of responding to climate change – action taken at a city scale to build greater resilience and to decarbonise has the power to create healthier, more equitable places at the same time.”
Jonathan Kinghorn Australasia Cities, Planning and Design Leader
How we can help


Green and thriving neighbourhoods
The neighbourhood scale in a city offers unique opportunities to accelerate towards net zero. Neighbourhood projects can pioneer new policy, consider ways to increase citizen participation and test new technologies that can support the overarching vision.
