João Cortesão

I am passionate about adapting urban areas to changing climates. Throughout my career, I have been developing spatial design solutions for climate-resilient urban areas. With one foot in the industry and the other in academia, I act as a pivot between the two worlds. I believe this bridging is essential to address climate change. My main goal is to generate and transfer knowledge to practitioners, policy- and decision-makers, and society in order to facilitate the resilience of urban areas to current and future climate-related challenges.
