Resilience. Health. Equity.
Resilient Urban Futures Studio provides evidence-based research & advisory services that help cities, organizations, & communities plan for climate adaptation, strengthen community health, & advance social equity through sustainable design and policy.
Urban systems are failing their residents
Cities concentrate opportunity and risk. Many communities face unequal access to cooling, healthcare, and safe infrastructure, making them disproportionately vulnerable to climate shocks and poor health.
Evidence exists but is not reaching practice
Academic research and technical guidance often remain abstract or siloed. Decision-makers need locally relevant, operational tools, not more reports, to prioritize action and funding.
Evidence-based Advisory for
Resilient, Healthy, & Equitable Cities Worldwide
Resilient Urban Futures Studio translates rigorous research into practical strategies that protect health, strengthen climate resilience, and advance social equity in urban environments. The Studio combines applied public health expertise, evidence synthesis, and hands-on implementation support to develop interventions that are fit for local contexts and scalable across cities. Services focus on heat resilience, access to health-promoting resources, and equitable adaptation planning, delivered through policy advice, stakeholder engagement, and operational tools.
Founder Brianna Cole brings frontline and academic experience to the Studio, blending years of first-responder practice with advanced training in international health policy (London School of Economics) and urban health and climate resilience research (TU Delft). This combination of practical insight and methodological rigor enables rapid, actionable solutions that meet the needs of communities, civic leaders, and partner organizations worldwide.
