ECOTEN
ECOTEN is a urban environmental consultant company.
How does it work?
ECOTEN tailors services for forward-looking cities, seeking the potential to empower urban developers to build more resilient cities. Identifying critical hotspots allows decision-makers to implement heat mitigation strategies to protect the citizens and provide a nicer urban environment. It also assesses the microclimate impacts of potential urban projects, which helps the city determine the most efficient strategies to adopt to create resilience.

Why is it needed?
Nowadays, most large metropolitan cities are facing numerous climate change-related issues. To avoid undesirable consequences, ECOTEN helps cities take action as early as possible. Convinced that the planet's future will depend on the ability of cities to adapt, everyone's potential must be used to build those resilient cities.
How does it improve life?
The effects of climate change, especially in metropolitan cities, have become more noticeable. The increasing number of heat waves, drastic rise in average temperatures, population rise and intensive urbanisation are just some examples of those effects. ECOTEN helps improve people's quality of life by designing sustainable cities and avoiding undesirable consequences, like higher energy consumption, higher health risks, poorer air quality and lower productivity.
