On a chilly, foggy morning 26 years ago, I got a letter in the post. I couldn’t open it for about five minutes. I just held it in my hands and looked at it. And when I did open it the only word I saw was “Congratulations….”
Nature positive buildings? Great insights from Sarah Gillhespy, one of the lead authors of WBCSD and Arup report, launched at COP16.

Ok. This is a stretch. Bare with me. (coughs) When the cameras focus in on Taylor Swift across Vegas' Allegiant Stadium this weekend, you can thank Arup. Oh yes. #SuperBowl#WeAreArup https://t.co/zDgOPWe9W7
How can we make sure cities remain liveable, as the world heats up? Everyone needs to play a part. Digital analysis is going to be a key component, helping urban planners and designers create spaces that work for everyone.
Singapore is getting hotter. We’ve developed UHeat, a tool that uses academic models to analyse solutions to rising temperatures, helping us to create sustainable cities that are resilient to #ClimateChange. Read more here: https://t.co/8MtM4DY9N8

Rushdi Abualouf: My daughters beg for Gaza City return - but our old lives are over https://t.co/R45nxAbA4e
BBC team reporting from Gaza find dozens of neighbours & friends among the injured & dead in Al-Shifa Hospital. Exceptional reporting - at a huge personal cost - from @adnanelbursh@Rushdibbc & many others in Gaza.

over a month ago - nothing to do with current events. There is so much false information being circulated on this app right now
*Massive operation/incursion by Hamas inside Israel. V different from anything in past.
*Well planned, must have taken months.
*Must have had outside support - Iran/Hezb.
*Huge intel failure by Israel, caught totally unaware, barley any response in first hours 1/4

Unprecedented, the biggest security failure in Israel in half a century and something that will certainly lead to full-scale war in Gaza: "Residents reported and took videos showing squads of Hamas militants marching into the southern city of Sderot." https://t.co/2Xsq4zWdvQ
Why are white Britons dying at higher rates than other ethnic groups? I dug into new data and spoke to @TheKingsFund's Veena Raleigh to find an answer and was surprised to discover that healthy migrants are a key part of the explanation. Read more @FT

There is no visible injury on the faces of those featured here. But the before and after images of the victims, the extent to which the torture has aged them will stay with me for a long time. This is such powerful reporting https://t.co/IB78dMUgTv
I'd never heard of Mark Bostock until a few months ago. We spoke once or twice in the summer. And then a few weeks ago, he died. He was passionate and determined. And according to this he predicted the mess the government finds itself in over #HS2 https://t.co/82rgarRG0r
In Hong Kong, one-third of all ethnic minority children live in poverty, so we were pleased to donate our expertise to Zubin's Family Centre, the first facility in Hong Kong to provide children with special education needs with counselling services: https://t.co/wCZy2QzbQW
Been sweating it out in 2023? Turns out we've designed our cities to be hotter than they need to be, blocking in the extreme heat of climate change. Fascinating article from @DianaBaptistaR with research from @Arup @DimaZogheib and @ClimateCentral https://t.co/7VmRROwqgY
This summer of northern hemisphere extreme heat has made climate change all too real for us. There’s a lot we can do to reduce the impact - there are solutions… we just all have to work together to implement them.
Millions of people are facing recurrent heatwaves, and the way our cities are designed is only making it worse. Using our digital tool, UHeat, we've analysed six major cities on their hottest days in 2022 – discover our findings in our #UrbanHeat Snapshot: https://t.co/1uqDxPlKGA

Every now and then in the world's most vibrant cities there's a gamechanger. A year or so in Lizzie line feels like just that. Curry in Brick Lane recently. Used to be a 1.10hr journey minimum. Did it in 40 mins door to door across the city. https://t.co/WR52n5Qzpd
