Dante Föllmi

Dante Föllmi serves as a Lecturer/Researcher at the Faculty of Technology, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, specializing in the Climate Resilient City initiative. His work focuses on developing practical climate adaptation solutions for urban environments through applied research and industry collaboration.

His research interests center on urban climate resilience with specific expertise in heat stress mitigation, green infrastructure, and sustainable urban development. Key areas include thermal comfort in residential spaces, nature-inclusive area development, and hydrological management of climate-adaptive infrastructure. His fingerprint analysis reveals dominant work in Heat Stress (100%), Blue-green Roof (75%), and Urban Areas (39%) research domains.

Publication trends from 2022-2024 show increasing focus on actionable interventions, with recent work emphasizing street-level cooling solutions, hydrological functionality of water-retaining roads, and nature-inclusive development frameworks. His research consistently targets practical implementation through professional reports and policy-facing deliverables rather than purely academic outputs.

Föllmi actively engages in knowledge transfer through symposium organization and media contributions, including a Parool article addressing green roof functionality during extreme rainfall events. His collaborative network spans municipal agencies, engineering firms, and academic institutions across the Netherlands.

Key activities include organizing the 2023 Hitte Symposium on urban heat challenges, co-developing the Cool Towns Intervention Catalogue, and leading the Waterbergende Weg research project on climate-adaptive road infrastructure. His work bridges academic research with municipal implementation through the Center of Expertise City Net Zero.
