Where Urban Meets
Sustainable Intelligence
We examine how urban form, buildings, and climate stress shape energy demand, access, and vulnerability across cities.
Research Areas
Our research is organized around three interconnected dimensions of urban energy systems.
Urban Form, Buildings & Energy Demand
Examining how density, land use, building characteristics, and spatial structure influence energy consumption and efficiency.
Explore Urban Form Research →Climate Risk & Green Transition
Studying how cities and buildings respond to heat, climate stress, decarbonization, and changing energy systems.
Explore Climate Research →Energy Equity & Spatial Inequality
Investigating how energy access, affordability, infrastructure, and vulnerability vary across neighborhoods and population groups.

View All Projects →Urban Form and Energy Demand
Examining how urban structure and building types shape energy demand across a rapidly growing desert metropolis.
Energy Access and Spatial Structure
Examining how settlement patterns, urban concentration, and infrastructure shape unequal access to modern energy.
Building Characteristics and Energy Vulnerability
Assessing how the building stock and its characteristics relate to energy vulnerability across the city.
Work With Urbanomics
We collaborate with universities, research institutes, public organizations, and international partners on spatial-energy research, urban analytics, and evidence-based policy projects.
