Dr Julie is a chartered architect and urban climate researcher whose work focuses on how cities shape the climate we experience every day. She explores how buildings, streets, materials, shade, wind and water influence comfort, health, energy use and resilience in urban places. A lecturer at CSM, Julie completed her PhD in Architecture and Applied Urban Climatology in 2013 and now works as an independent consultant specialising in climate-responsive urbanism. She is co-founder of the Urban Climate Walk, established in 2014, which brings urban climate research into the street through guided observation, discussion and shared experience. Julie supports climate literacy and knowledge exchange across architecture and the built environment. Her walks help people read the city differently, as a living climate system shaped by buildings, streets, weather, materials and human use.
