The decision by South African President @CyrilRamaphosa to place inequality at the heart of the G20 agenda is historic. It marks a significant step forward on the long road toward greater equality. It is no coincidence that countries from the Global South—Brazil and South Africa—have led the charge to put tax justice and social justice on the G20 agenda in recent years. The World Inequality Lab wecomes @JosephEStiglitz's report and back its call for a global panel on inequality, modelled after the IPCC. It’s time to scale up the work we’ve championed for over 10 years to measure and address the drivers of inequality. ▶️wid.world/news-article/s…

A community engagement workshop funded by @ESRC was held yesterday in Caxias di Sul, to co-create resilient urban futures. Community’s members, local government officials and Members of civil protection (Defesa Civil Rio Grande do Sul) participated. Great energy! With @MLuz_NE

The @ESRC UK-Brazil Networking and Evaluation Workshop started yesterday! Paving the way for future international collaborations! Our team, presenting the work on post disaster urban adaptation in Rio Grande do Sul, is present @MLuz_NE @na @openstudio_wm @UniWestminster #UCS

Honoured to have received with my colleague @MLuz_NE a symbolic medal from the civil protection - defesa civil - of the State of Rio Grande do Sul 🇧🇷 for our research work on post flooding recovery and community engagement last 12 September (the day of my b/day🙏): memorable!

Espero que algún día haya una foto de los dos juntos, y no me refiero a Pedro y Kier.

Nuevo clip para usar cuando se monte drama en algún grupo de WhatsApp:

Shouldn’t planting beds have been built into the paving here @SarahWoodberryD like in the plans? The last thing we need is another big area that a vehicle can #pavementpark on, especially when the road surface is raised as part of the planned speed table. Thanks for checking.🌱

AESOP25, Istanbul 🇹🇷 presenting our research with @MLuz_NE on community engagement in post disaster context, the case of Rio Grande do Sul 🇧🇷 . Great spending time with Sabina Cioboata and Güldehan Atay and exploring an amazing city.

Además de una mentira obvia, este tuit es un doble insulto. Por un lado a las víctimas, por supuesto, y por otro, que es la parte más interesante, al propio votante de derechas. Todo el mundo sabe ya a estas alturas -también el votante de derechas- que la AEMET avisó, que la Delegación del Gobierno avisó, que los militares de la UME avisaron y que Mazón pasó del asunto porque tenía cosas más interesantes que hacer en un almuerzo que se le alargó hasta que ya estaba todo patas arriba. Este tuit es muy interesante porque viene a decirle al votante del PP: toma, agárrate a esta mierda como puedas. Responde con este bulo antes de reconocer que nosotros, los tuyos, somos unos ineptos, porque tú, que nos votas, quedarás también en ridículo. Este tuit no va dirigido a la población, sino a un votante muy concreto al que consideran rebaño. Y lo peor y más triste es que probablemente parte de su electorado efectivamente no se tenga a sí mismo ningún respeto y agradezca poder agarrarse a lo que sea en estos momentos.

Architects can—and should—embrace inclusive, walking and cycling-friendly design solutions. In the face of the climate crises, rapid urbanisation, and pressing housing needs, the role of architects and city planners is to push forward these crucial changes. #IAPEX2024

While there have been advocacy efforts in this direction during COVID from Urban Innovation lead by Lahori urbanist @situationTO, still active mobility is often not a key priority in municipal agendas in Pakistan and city planners must start making space for it.

Last weekend I had the privilege of presenting at the IAPEX_LC 2024 in Lahore, organised by the Institute of Architects of Pakistan. I was invited Dr Mamuna Iqbal convenor of the Convention #IAPEX2024

Me llegan vuestros memes, claro. ¿Pero sabéis a quienes les están llegando de verdad? A los trabajadores que reconstruyen las infraestructuras, que se sienten reivindicados y reconocidos. En las emergencias se suele hablar de bomberos, policías, militares, voluntarios…pero se habla poco de los que se dejan la piel por recuperar cosas que damos por hechas o que no valoramos lo suficiente. Vaya por todos ellos.
