COOLING CITIES - Solutions for Urban Climate Adaptation
The SOLOCLIM project is in its final, fourth year of the doctoral training programme within which six researchers generate solutions for urban outdoor environments. The aim of the event is to bring together three top industry leaders to shed light on the best of the research and practice in urban climate adaptation.

VEGETATION-BASED INTERVENTIONS
VEGETATION-BASED INTERVENTIONS
VEGETATION-BASED INTERVENTIONS
New solutions based on vegetation for the building skin have a significant impact on improving microclimate, developing new solutions based on vegetation for the neighbourhood scale that significantly impacts improving urban climate and test solutions on micro/urban climatic functionality.
WATER-BASED SOLUTIONS
VEGETATION-BASED INTERVENTIONS
VEGETATION-BASED INTERVENTIONS
New solutions based on the use of water in the form of “blade” on the building skin and urban pavements and in the form of nebulized water that has a significant impact on improving outdoor microclimate in terms of air temperature reduction and thermal comfort, test solutions on micro/urban climatic functionality trough thermal simulations and measurements of prototypes.
CLIMATE-RESPONSIVE DESIGN
VEGETATION-BASED INTERVENTIONS
CLIMATE-RESPONSIVE DESIGN
A systematic approach for the development of innovative responsive systems for the streetscape, evaluate pilot responsive systems, implement and test a range of interactive systems for the streetscape, integrate responsive systems in real city master planning development and develop protocols for the integration of responsive systems in master planning.
SOLOCLIM EXPERIENCE
“SOLOCLIM provides me with the opportunity to understand and navigate microclimatic issues, engage with decision-makers, and lead towards a sustainable environment”
Maricruz Solera Jimenez
“The experience as an ESR provides me with a new scope to explore green infrastructure-related problems in the urban design process.”
Yehan Wu
“I would love to see my water-based prototype built, operational and successfully working in different cities around the world.”
Adrian Moredia Valek
“As climate change impacts are felt globally with the deadliest of its effects posed by extreme heat through intensified urban heat island effect and heatwaves, I believe that our task is urgent.”
Mariana Pereira Guimarães
“The experience of linking academic research and industry projects is invaluable and I hope will give me a better understanding of how to apply research and therefore realise solutions"
Sinéad Nicholson
"Within SOLOCLIM project, I am working on highlighting the urban potential to systematically implement climate-responsive solutions in the city".
