Empowering Discussion Making
By fostering global collaboration and sharing knowledge, we empower decision-makers with the insights and strategies to create sustainable, resilient, cold-weather cities. This network-driven approach informs policy and design and stimulates further research, enabling continuous innovation in adapting urban environments to extreme climates.

Winter City Resources
The Winter Cities Institute strives to collect and provide, a wide variety of Winter City resources- from academic research, to municipal strategy documents, to News and Media articles. We hope to connect professionals both with each other, and with the information necessary to succeed in their Winter City research and policy-making.
