Surface urban heat island variations under the 3-decadal urban expansion in China
Flood Evacuation in Informal Settlements
Flood incident management involves taking actions to save lives and reduce damages during a flood. Agent-based modelling tools have recently been developed to simulate the dynamic interactions between people and floodwater as a flood event unfolds. To date, these have only been applied in locations with a wealth of data, relying upon bespoke local or national datasets. Although informal settlements have a concentration of vulnerable people and ar…

Enhanced urban growth modelling
A climate resilience research renewal agenda
Learning lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic opens an opportunity for enhanced research and action on inclusive urban resilience to climate change. Lessons and their implications are used to describe a climate resilience research renewal agenda. Three key lessons are identified. The first lesson is generic, that climate change risk coexists and interacts with other risks through overlapping social processes, conditions and decision-making contexts…
From mathematical models to policy design
Comparing Generic and Case Study Damage Functions
Two different approaches are used to assess the impacts associated with natural hazards and climate change in cities. A bottom-up approach uses high resolution data on constituent assets within the urban area. In contrast, a top-down approach uses less detailed information but is consequently more readily transferable. Here, we compare damage curves generated by each approach for coastal flooding in London. To compare them, we fit a log-logistic …
Low Carbon, Low Risk, Low Density
Urban areas face a conundrum, they need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of resources, whilst also increasing their resilience to climate change and extreme weather, and improving wellbeing. However, it is widely recognized that well intended intervention to address one of these sustainability objectives in isolation can undermine other objectives. This paper presents a framework to efficiently identify spatial development…
Six research priorities for cities and climate change
Future heat-waves, droughts and floods in 571 European cities
Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate risks due to their agglomeration of people, buildings and infrastructure. Differences in methodology, hazards considered, and climate models used limit the utility and comparability of climate studies on individual cities. Here we assess, for the first time, future changes in flood, heat-waves (HW), and drought impacts for all 571 European cities in the Urban Audit database using a consistent approach…
Alternative-substitute business models and the provision of local infrastructure
Everyday living is supported by an array of services provided by a complex local infrastructure nexus that is financed and funded by the public, private and third sectors. The on-going debate on the financialization of infrastructure has neglected to explore the provision of local infrastructure in places experiencing infrastructural exclusion. This paper seeks to contribute toward filling this gap by exploring local infrastructure in the UK that…
The impact of flooding on road transport
Transport networks underpin economic cities competiveness and society functioning. • During flooding transport infrastructure can be directly or indirectly damaged. • This paper reviewed modelling studies of the impacts of weather on transport. • The paper derived a new empirical function to relate flood depth and vehicle speed. • The function move forwards from the binary consideration of flood roads. • The function can be incorporated into floo…
Climate change response in Europe
Experiences of integrated assessment of climate impacts, adaptation and mitigation modelling in London and Durban
The urgent need to reconfigure and transform urban areas to consume fewer resources, emit less pollution, minimize greenhouse gas production, protect natural ecosystems and increase the adaptive capacity to deal with climate risks is widely recognized. The implementation of improved sustainability measures in cities requires integrated thinking that encompasses a whole range of urban functions, often implying a major restructuring of urban energy…
Assessing the effectiveness of non-structural flood management measures in the Thames Estuary under conditions of socio-economic and environmental change
Waitangi, Translation, and Metaphor
The paper directs attention to and criticizes an unexamined metaphor that dominates talk about the translation of the Treaty of Waitangi. Key terms in the Treaty, such as ‘Sovereignty’ and ‘Property’, are commonly talked about as if they point to entities in the world, observable by us independently of the talk about them. The activity of ‘translating’ the Treaty, in this schema, is talked about in terms of ‘conveying’ bits of meaning over from E…
