Retrofit can lower energy use and carbon emissions, but can also benefit health, community cohesion and economic vitality. Delighted to have worked with @monicaforde, Becci Taylor, Helene Gosden and other experts to explore #Retrofit in @Arup Cities Intelligence 3.
Arup UK@ArupUK

Thinking about retrofitting at scale – at building, neighbourhood or city level - creates an opportunity to accelerate energy #decarbonisation and build increased #EnergyResilience. Learn more in Cities Intelligence 3: ‘#Retrofit at Scale’: bit.ly/3Uvu21a #Sustainability

All ready to welcome @ArupUK #Leeds colleagues for their first day in our new office tomorrow, Wed & Thurs. A massive effort from so many colleagues over the past few days to get everything ready, and over the past 2-3 years on this project. I am so grateful to everyone involved

A shocking new national homelessness study by charity Crisis and Heriot-Watt University shows nearly a quarter of a million households in England are experiencing the worst forms of homelessness, including sleeping on the streets - and yes - that includes tents & contrary to what the Home Secretary might think that’s not a lifestyle choice - it’s called destitution
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2

In wanting to ban tents from Britains streets & fines for charities who hand them out to the homeless the Home Secretary is shamelessly blaming & criminalizing the most vulnerable members of our society for the national shame of the abject failure of her own government

Key takeaways: we need to change from thinking about documents ➡️ data, Biggest challenge will be changing attitudes. Results = enabling planners to get back to planning 💡

What bad urban leadership looks like. Anyone who truly understands how cities actually work, and why they succeed or fail, knows that this isn’t “motorists vs everyone else.” Designing cities for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. This doesn’t bode well for UK cities.

NEW: we need to talk about the dire state of British transport infrastructure. Of the 52 UK cities with 250k+ people, only 8 (15%) have a tram or metro. In France & Germany it’s 80%, Poland is on 60%. Even *American* cities are better served, and the US hates public transit!

Another pop music death this morning - and a reminder of a time when you could hear music, obsess over music, while having no idea even if its creator was alive or dead. news.sky.com/story/sixto-ro…

The 1988GGF legacy talk continued this evening with inspiring speakers from organisations & community groups in #Glasgow. Each presentation is talking about urban nature in different perspectives yet all connected in so many ways. We believe this is where #collaboration begins 😊
