These design characteristics offer high leverage points for street network resilience and robustness that planners should emphasize when designing or retrofitting urban networks. They shape how reliable our infrastructure networks remain when we most urgently need them.

New article hot off the presses! We simulate over 2.4 billion trips across every urban area in the world to 1) measure street network vulnerability to disasters and 2) show how street network design shapes urban resilience to—and recovery from—disasters 🧵 authors.elsevier.com/a/1imkd3Rd3v3d…

Evidence derived from global models or dissimilar world regions will yield conclusions inapplicable to most local planning contexts. Planners need a better empirical base for evidence-informed practice in under-studied regions, particularly the rapidly urbanizing Global South.

I have a new article out that estimates relationships between street network characteristics and transport CO2 emissions across every urban area in the world and investigates whether they are the same across development levels and design paradigms. 🧵 doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

A good summary of the past week's brouhaha by @mmfa @theodorejay. I did not realize how much airtime Fox News actually devoted to this! mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…

If you're interested in this research, here are some links to the published version and the free open-access preprint. twitter.com/gboeing/status…

Happy spring break everyone! Last week the LA Times reported on my recent study showing that LA census tracts whose residents drive less are exposed to more vehicular air pollution. ...and then a funny thing happened. A short thread on that & what our study actually says.
