Why Us?
Why FutureArch Matters?
Cities in arid and semi-arid regions are growing faster than their infrastructure, governance, and housing systems can cope. As climate change intensifies, millions of people are increasingly exposed to extreme heat, water scarcity, displacement, and housing insecurity.
Extreme Temperatures
Climate projections show a rise in days exceeding 40–50°C, increasing energy demand, cooling costs, and health risks.
Water Scarcity
Rapid urbanisation, limited rainfall, and over-extraction place severe pressure on water resources, affecting housing, sanitation, and livelihoods.
Unplanned Urban Growth
Informal settlements expand without services, drainage, or climate-resilient design.
Economic & Vulnerability
Low-income households face higher exposure to climate impacts and limited access to housing finance.
Housing Vulnerability
Many homes are built with inadequate materials, poor insulation, or designs unsuitable for desert climates.
Infrastructure Fragility
Aging water networks, weak governance, and overstretched municipal systems cannot cope with climate pressures.
Economic & Vulnerability
Low-income households face higher exposure to climate impacts and limited access to housing finance.
