Cities & Urban Sustainability
Accompanying organisations on their path towards a more sustainable future
by and for citizens
Insights
Cities and regions globally are taking considerable steps to reduce their environmental impact to avoid the risks associated with climate change and to create healthy, thriving spaces for citizens. To do this, they must tackle complex sustainability challenges such as reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality and developing sustainable mobility.
Collaboration between local, regional and national governments, the private sector and other agencies and civil society groups is essential to responding to these challenges whilst taking advantage of economic opportunities, such as the green recovery, to build more resilient communities and enable a fair and just transition.
At Anthesis, we activate sustainability solutions for cities and regions by working with local and national governments, businesses and developers all over the world. From quantifying the impact to create a persuasive business case for change through to designing strategies and delivering them on-the-ground, we work with clients to deliver more sustainable, low carbon cities and regions.
Backed by decades of experience, our team embodies unparalleled expertise in the realm of urban sustainability. From crafting comprehensive urban strategies to implementing innovative solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation, we stand as pioneers in the field. Our extensive portfolio of projects spans across various domains, including sustainable mobility, climate resilience, and nature conservation.We not only analyse the challenges posed by urbanisation but also devise practical, actionable plans to address them. By integrating cutting-edge technologies with time-tested methodologies, we pave the way for cities and territories to thrive in harmony with nature, ensuring a resilient and equitable future for generations to come.

Our Approach to Urban Sustainability
Urban Strategy – Our Urban Strategy services focus on sustainable urban development, guiding cities to align with the 2030 Agenda. We support urban governance and innovative approaches to enhance urban health, resilience, and sustainability, ensuring that cities can thrive while meeting global sustainability goals.
Sustainable Mobility – Our Sustainable Mobility services encompass sector-specific mobility strategies, such as for education and healthcare, to enhance urban transport efficiency. We conduct studies on sustainable urban mobility, focusing on improving air quality through Low Emission Zones (LEZs) and optimizing sustainable logistics to support cleaner, more efficient cities.
Climate Change – Our Climate Change services include comprehensive analysis of climate risks and vulnerabilities at territorial and sectoral levels, along with GHG inventories at municipal, regional, and national scales. We develop Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAP) and Energy Transition Plans (ETPs) to drive energy efficiency. Additionally, we craft targeted climate adaptation strategies to build resilience against climate change impacts.
Nature – Our Nature services focus on helping organisations achieve Nature Positive outcomes through biodiversity footprint assessments, risk analysis (TNFD), and strategic nature-positive planning. We conduct biodiversity inventories, develop green infrastructure, and enhance ecological connectivity. Our work includes planning for natural spaces, assessing urban biodiversity, and implementing renaturalisation efforts.
