This project reimagines the future of Thetford Mines following the asbestos industry’s collapse. It proposes landscape restoration and a new sustainable district combining housing and ecotourism. By healing environmental damage and honoring historical identity, the design aims to transform a former industrial site into a source of community pride and renewal.

This research evaluates whether reflective cool roofs can reduce indoor temperatures and improve health in climate-vulnerable communities. A global randomised controlled trial across four countries will assess impacts on physical and mental health, productivity, and hospitalisations, providing evidence on whether this affordable intervention is cost-effective and capable of saving lives.
