I recently got to speak on the news about my work with Allison Reilly, @TomMLogan, Mitchell Anderson, and @drqianhe on isolation due to #sealevelrise and #climatechange in the US

New paper in @NatureClimate: Burden of sea level rise is larger and will occur earlier than anticipated due to indirect effects. AND will occur in places that may not expect impacts.

colab between @UCEngineering @UofMaryland @MitchJ_Anderson 🧵
Implications of this research:
3-Indirect effects further exacerbate the inequality of impacts. Keep an eye out for more papers from us on this.
Unsurprisingly, the high turnout response regarding street changes around the new Christchurch Stadium was overwhelmingly in favour of sustainable urban design. 76% in favour. @ChristchurchCC - consider this when voting tomorrow on PC14 - the sustainable densification rules
Our downtowns should simply have a different level of noise restriction. In Christchurch, if you want to live within the four avenues of nz’s 2nd largest city, accept that there is noise and vibrancy

Cities in Aotearoa should be aiming to beat the ’15-minute city’ concept, by creating neighbourhoods where people can get to shops, services and hospitality within a short walk, bike ride or by hopping on public transport, says @UCNZ Lecturer Dr @TomMLogan bit.ly/3rX1tdY
Our #urban research and dashboard featured in @ForbesScience. Thanks @laurie_winkless!
This is a potential disaster for Christchurch's future. We are already one of NZ's least accessible and most car-dependent cities. Many of our centres lack the vibrancy that comes with high density and having people around. 🧵 rnz.co.nz/news/national/4752…
We know that walking and cycling (that comes with high density) benefits health, the local economy, sustainability, and our safety. We know it has benefits for affordability.

Reject this request @DavidParkerMP or at least go out for consultation again now we know what's at stake
