Communicating outcomes of future what-if scenarios for municipal climate action

This project communicates interactive cross-sectoral data about how municipal planning policies related to urban form may address both climate action and urban livability. The research generates numerous measured future what-if scenarios for neighbourhood-scale changes to population, population density, built form, building energy, mobility, urban greening. This project addresses a problem of communication by designing and delivering an interactive visually accessible dashboard to communicate the results of the research to planners and their constituent audiences- the public and elected officials.
