Future-Proof Your City

End-to-end EV infrastructure, plastic waste reduction programs, and renewable energy security consulting for resilient, equitable urban systems.

About Our Urban Resilience Practice

We help cities design, finance, and deliver EV charging, plastic reduction, and renewable resilience programs that cut emissions, improve equity, and protect critical services.

Strategic Decarbonization Vision

Define a coherent, long-horizon pathway that aligns mobility, materials, and energy decisions with measurable climate and equity outcomes.

Build a cross-sector roadmap linking transport electrification, waste minimization, and resilient renewables to clear interim targets, budget envelopes, and enabling policies, ensuring political feasibility, departmental accountability, and credible emissions trajectories validated by transparent assumptions and independent review.
Identify elected officials, utilities, fleet operators, community groups, universities, and industry partners, clarifying roles, incentives, conflict touchpoints, and governance mechanisms that sustain collaboration through elections, budget cycles, and program pivots while centering community benefits and transparency.
Audit existing ordinances, building codes, franchise agreements, utility tariffs, and waste contracts to surface barriers, co-design amendments, and sequence enactment milestones that unlock equitable charging, source reduction, reuse infrastructure, and resilient distributed generation without unintended burdens on small businesses or renters.

Use Cases: AC, DC Fast, and Depot Megawatt

Match power levels, connector types, and dwell-time profiles to curbside, workplace, multi-unit dwelling, on-route, and depot needs, balancing capital intensity, grid constraints, vehicle duty cycles, and lifecycle costs to achieve reliable, equitable coverage with minimal stranded assets.

Interoperability, Roaming, and Payments

Specify open protocols for charging control, data exchange, and roaming, require transparent pricing and accessible payment options, and establish contractual service levels that safeguard uptime, customer support responsiveness, and dispute resolution across vendors and network operators over the asset lifetime.

Smart Charging, V2G, and V2X

Deploy algorithmic load shifting, managed charging, and bidirectional capabilities that monetize flexibility, protect transformers, and support resilience, integrating with DERMS, market signals, and building systems while maintaining cybersecurity, warranty compliance, and predictable driver experiences.

Grid Integration and Energy Storage

Design resilient interfaces between charging, buildings, renewables, and storage to stabilize operations and lower costs.

Load Management and DERMS

Implement hierarchical controls coordinating chargers, solar, storage, and building loads to flatten peaks, respect demand charges, and maintain comfort, using telemetry, predictive models, and fail-safe modes that sustain service during communications or market disruptions.

Storage Sizing and Resilience Modeling

Right-size batteries and hybrid storage using stochastic load scenarios, outage probabilities, and cost curves, prioritizing critical loads, black-start capability, and safe islanding that preserves mobility, communications, and essential services during extreme weather or cyber incidents.

Microgrids for Public Facilities

Engineer microgrids at transit depots, emergency shelters, and water facilities that blend solar, storage, and generators with intelligent protection schemes, enabling seamless transitions between grid-connected and islanded operations while complying with safety standards and utility interconnection requirements.

Citywide Plastics Baseline and Leakage Map

Quantify resin types, product categories, and hotspots across neighborhoods, waterways, and municipal facilities, using waste composition studies, litter transects, and business surveys to prioritize interventions that reduce generation, improve capture, and prevent leakage into stormwater systems and natural habitats.

Reuse, Refill, and Take-Back Ecosystems

Design standardized containers, deposit-return logistics, and washing hubs for food service, retail, and municipal operations, aligning health codes, reverse logistics, and incentives so businesses adopt durable packaging that lowers cost, reduces litter, and creates local employment in cleaning and transport.

Public Procurement and Producer Responsibility

Modernize purchasing specifications and contract language to favor reusables, certified recycled content, and low-toxicity materials, while advancing extended producer responsibility that funds infrastructure, aligns labeling, and harmonizes standards to reduce contamination and ensure reliable end markets.

Circular Logistics and Materials Recovery

Optimize collection, processing, and market pathways to close material loops and improve economics.

Route Design and Fleet Modernization

Use analytics to redesign collection routes, align container types, and right-size vehicles, phasing in electric trucks where feasible, to reduce fuel, overtime, contamination, and missed stops while improving worker safety and neighborhood cleanliness.

Sorting Technology and MRF Upgrades

Evaluate optical sorters, robotics, ballistic screens, and AI vision systems that boost throughput and purity, integrate quality monitoring, and adjust staffing, enabling contracts that reward performance and support stable feedstock for regional manufacturers.

Market Development and Design Feedback

Broker offtake with converters and end users, analyze price volatility, and feed specifications back to product designers, catalyzing local remanufacturing while avoiding downcycling and ensuring compatibility with reuse systems and recycled-content procurement commitments.

Community Engagement and Equity

Center benefits for frontline communities, renters, and small businesses through participatory design and equitable delivery.

Equitable Siting and Access

Apply equity indices, transit data, and community input to place chargers, reuse hubs, and microgrids where they reduce exposure to pollution, lower household costs, and strengthen resilience, ensuring accessible pricing, ADA compliance, and multilingual support.
