Tackling the urban heat island effect
Our cities are getting hotter. With heatwaves increasing in frequency and intensity, and cities’ habit of replacing green space with concrete, tarmac, glass and steel, ‘urban heat islands’ are the inevitable result.
Arup has been exploring this problem, developing a new tool to identify cities’ heat island hotspots, and working on nature-based solutions to rising temperatures.

The resilience factor
How do we prepare, adapt and protect the built environment from the effects of climate change?
Designing in a digital world
Efficient, networked, intelligent – discover how data is remaking the built environment and helping us achieve more sustainable design.
The brain of a sustainable building – its time to invest in digital twins
Traditionally, developers, owners and operators had to make do with predictions about building running costs and optimise their asset’s use as best they could, using a patchwork of disconnected technical systems. A world of net zero goals and increasing energy costs means this is no longer viable. This presents an opportunity for digital twins.
