Industries
Building climate-resilient cities through evidence-based urban planning, heat island mitigation, and green infrastructure design.
How We Help
Cities are on the front line of climate change. Rising temperatures amplify urban heat islands, intensifying rainfall overwhelms drainage systems, and changing weather patterns challenge the assumptions underlying decades of urban development.
RCI supports municipalities, urban planners, and architects with high-resolution climate analyses that inform zoning decisions, green infrastructure investments, and climate adaptation plans. Our localized projections help cities anticipate risks and design livable, resilient communities for the future.
Use Cases
Identify heat hotspots across your city using high-resolution thermal modeling and climate projections, enabling targeted interventions such as tree planting, cool roofs, and reflective surfaces.
Evaluate the climate performance of bioswales, rain gardens, urban parks, and permeable surfaces to maximize cooling effects and stormwater retention under future climate conditions.
Develop comprehensive municipal adaptation plans with scenario-based projections for temperature extremes, precipitation shifts, and stormwater management under multiple emission pathways.
What We Do
We create educational programs, workshops, and presentations for municipalities, schools, and the general public.
Our specialists provide expert interpretation of scientific data, model outputs, and climate scenarios.
We work closely with partners from the public and private sectors to address the societal challenges of climate change.
We conduct research in climatology, hydrology, data science, and modeling — including climate impact analysis and dataset development.
