We help cities make “smart” surface decisions by demonstrating the value of surfaces that manage the sun and rain. By using Smart Surfaces where appropriate, cities around the world can reduce extreme summer heat, minimize flooding, improve public health, create jobs, and advance equity—all while saving money.
The Smart Surfaces Coalition is committed to the rapid, cost-effective global adoption of Smart Surfaces to enable cities to thrive despite climate threats, save cities billions of dollars, create jobs, decrease heat, reduce flood risk, slow global warming, and improve city livability, health, and equity.
