The Smart Surfaces Coalition is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC, dedicated to accelerating the global adoption of urban smart surfaces—such as green, reflective and porous materials, urban trees, and solar photovoltaics—to help cities cope with climate threats. By offering analytic tools, data, research, training, and policy support, the coalition aims to influence city decision‑making and rapidly scale smart surface deployments, with the goal of reducing emissions and cooling urban areas while enhancing livability and jobs. The organization operates through a coalition of more than forty NGOs spanning architecture, policy, equity, health, planning, urban data analytics, and related sectors, positioning itself at the intersection of design, policy, and urban resilience. It serves cities and municipal actors seeking cost‑effective strategies to mitigate heat, flood risk, and pollution, contributing to broader climate and urban development objectives. A recent collaboration with World Resources Institute reflects ongoing efforts to expand sub-national action on urban cooling and broaden access to data and support for city cooling strategies.
