Delighted to be leaving @UlsterUni with a First Class Honours in MSci Planning, Regeneration and Development! A huge thank you to all the team @PRD_UlsterUni and particularly @hezjritchie for their continued support. I could not have asked for better group of lecturers!

More than 750 miles of railway track once linked towns and communities across Northern Ireland, but it was mostly abandoned in the 1950s - so what happened to Northern Ireland's railways? And do they have a future? https://t.co/klPshIXxvk

Coming around the corner to this view, after walking through the forest in the pouring rain for an hour, makes it all worth it...I think! #SundayStrolls #Nature #Tyrone

Superb @RTPIPlanners event this morning with a presentation from Hamburg’s Ministry of Urban Development; discussing Hamburg’s preparation for population growth and focus on connectivity, mixed use development, green space, pedestrianisation and public participation.

Want to hear great leadership?

“Labour won an election majority meaning they could govern alone. But Ardern invited the Greens into a cooperation agreement, saying it would benefit from the expertise of the Green Party on climate change & child wellbeing” https://t.co/UK7SF8vqFH

This is a very interesting read. What this Spanish city has done with Gasteiz Avenue, converting a multi-laned street into a greener, safer, better looking boulevard, is exactly the sort of thing Belfast should be doing with streets like Dunbar Link @NicholaMallon @nigreenways

On #WorldCitiesDay this year, let's remember how profoundly the places we shape affect us, our behaviour, our health and our wellbeing. #letsgetitright #peoplecentredplaces #urbanresilience

Never underestimate the power of a good walk for the soul - especially when it’s ☀️!

Forever grateful to have access to such a stunning and tranquil part of our wee country 💚

My first World Town Planning Day as a graduate. Looking forward to attending these (FREE!) RTPI events! #ProudofPlanning

Turns out that doing an exceptional job as a leader, making bold decisions in the face of crises & tragedies, & really caring about the people you serve, translate into really big political success. Other global leaders, take note. #NewZealand #JacindaArdern @jacindaardern

@RyanJBrady96 Thanks Ryan!

Delighted to have been invited by @annika_clements to present my research findings at the @seafishuk SNIAC yesterday. Many critical issues discussed, reinforcing the importance of supporting our local fishing industry at this difficult time.

[Lindsey Carson @lindseycarson95]

@ryantwalker92 @annika_clements @seafishuk Thank you @ryantwalker92!

[Lindsey Carson @lindseycarson95]

@annika_clements @seafishuk @MarSocSci @hezjritchie @annika_clements it was a pleasure to work with you and the rest of the Seafish team!

[Lindsey Carson @lindseycarson95]

@LindaMcelduff Thankyou @LindaMcelduff!

[Lindsey Carson @lindseycarson95]

A very interesting read! We certainly have an opportunity to learn from the past. It is essential that we work together to find effective solutions to modern day issues, while prioritising our health through the further dev of green and pedestrian infrastructure & cycle lanes.

Just attended a fab webinar by @loftus_training hosted by @WomeninPlanning on mental health and adapting to change. A great event in a challenging time when many people are struggling with mental health issues. Learned some great tips for supporting friends or colleagues in need.

Suburban #Sprawl costs 38% more in upfront public costs & 10% more in ongoing costs than compact development, PLUS has only 1/10th the tax revenue per acre, confirms report summarizing 17 studies. Still think it’s “affordable?” V/@CityLab & @SmartGrowthUSA https://t.co/yKxzr6OjiD

Wonderful opportunity to catch up virtually with my fellow planning cohort! Thanks to @grafferty @LindaMcelduff and @hezjritchie for organising. Hope to see you all in person soon. #ProudOfUPLAN #PlannerLife #UPlan
