Rome, Italy

C40 Reinventing Cities Competition

Jeffrey served as the Academic Advisor for the winning Luogo3 team, bringing together students and graduates from UCL, Columbia and LSE across six nationalities, developed a proposal for Rome’s Tufello neighbourhood that combines diverse perspectives with ambitious climate goals. 

Their project introduces a ‘soft mobility spine’ to link public and commercial areas, strengthen local businesses and celebrate neighbourhood heritage. The plan tackles flood risk through nature-based solutions and reimagines an abandoned building as a hub for transit-oriented development. By aligning community needs with the city’s net-zero targets, the proposal offers a scalable model for resilient, people-centred neighbourhoods, demonstrating the impact of youth-driven innovation in shaping more inclusive and sustainable cities.
