SSC Launches Peer Learning Network, Connecting Cities with Resources for Urban Climate Resilience ✺

December 2nd, 2024 - The Smart Surfaces Coalition (SSC) launches a major new initiative today, the Smart Surfaces Peer Learning Network, with funding from the Esther A. & Joseph Klingenstein Fund. The Peer Learning Network expands the Coalition’s engagement with major U.S. metropolitan areas by connecting urban infrastructure practitioners nationwide with resources for Smart Surface project design, funding opportunities, and policy development.

The Smart Surfaces Peer Learning Network supports a rapidly growing community of urban infrastructure practitioners interested in adopting Smart Surfaces as an effective way to combat extreme heat and stormwater flooding, address environmental injustice, improve public health, save money, and slow global warming.
