Learning from international projects and local site visits, observing, questioning, inspiring and celebrating practices. That's just a little of what happened in the past couple of days in The Academy of Urbanism Congress 2023 at #Cambridge @theAoU @AoUYU #Urbanism #Design

Just came across this. I'm curious now. #StraightLineCrazy https://t.co/ydeuigQSrB

It was nice to share some thoughts about climate change and local action in yesterday's report by @GregoryHoare for ITV Borders. Global policies will not deliver overnight, so making the most of the momentum is key at the local scale. #ClimateAction #Communities

[@petermacmahon @petermacmahon]

Coming up on @ITVBorderRB - six months on from the #COP26 climate conference have the promises made in Glasgow gone up in smoke? @GregoryHoare reports. I ask @MaggieChapman @LiamKerrMSP how far rising energy prices at home and war abroad have put climate concerns on back burner.

Have a read to my colleague's essay on #UrbanHeatIslands. It is always great to come across the published work of former classmates. Kudos @HenryIbitolu!

[UBDC @UrbanBigData]

Congratulations to our @HenryIbitolu who was one of the top 10 applicants in the @Allianz Climate Risk Research Award! 👏 You can read Henry's fantastic essay, in which he investigates why cities are so warm, in the 2021 compendium on the Allianz website: https://t.co/wm135O7sn4
