Abstract COVID‐19 has stimulated renewed societal and academic debate about the future of cities urban life. Future visons have veered from ‘death city’ to visual renderings limited experiments with novel 15 minute neighbourhoods. Within this context, we as a diverse group scholars sought examine emergent ‘post’‐COVID city through production an lexicon that investigates its socio‐material contours. The makes three contributions. First, explore how pandemic accelerated certain processes...
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a major contributor to stroke, cognitive impairment and dementia with limited therapeutic interventions. There critical need provide mechanistic insight improve translation between pre-clinical research the clinic. A 2-day workshop was held which brought together experts from several disciplines in cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular biology, highlight current advances these fields, explore synergies scope for development. These proceedings summary...
The literature on urban sustainability transitions has grown substantially over the last two decades. Recent debates have sought to position transition as an incremental process of reconfiguration informed by novel relationships between existing systems provision and new infrastructural governing arrangements. We extend these exploring how digital platformisation infrastructure is challenging organisation governance systems. Bringing together with platform urbanism, we focus empirically...
Eruptions of Sinabung volcano, Indonesia have been ongoing since 2013. Since that time, the character eruptions has changed, from phreatic to phreatomagmatic magmatic explosive eruptions, and production a lava dome collapsed subsequent thick flow slowly ceased be active, later, new dome. As eruption progressed, event trees were constructed forecast eruptive behavior six times, with windows ranged 2 weeks 1 year: November 7–10, December 12–14, 27, 2013; January 9–10, May 13, October 7, 2014....
Abstract In contrast to their use in warfare and surveillance, there is growing interest the potential of “drones for good” deliver societal benefits, example by delivering medical products other essential goods. Yet development commercial delivery has been limited globally restrictive regulation protect airspace safety security. this paper we examine how certain African countries have become testbeds new forms drone infrastructure regulation, driven overlapping interests governments,...
SUMMARY In 2011, the UK government set in motion a process to establish formal biodiversity offsetting programme England, as an attempt tackle loss result of development. Drawing on critical approaches commodification nature, this article traces dilemmas encountered by its endeavours roll out English planning system. Based 34 in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, documentary analysis and participant observation at policy-focused events, paper aims show how promise reconciling...
Abstract Enclosed, controlled environments, stretching from sites of luxury consumption to urban food production, are proliferating in cities around the world, utilising increasingly advanced techniques for (re)creating and optimising microclimatic conditions different purposes. However, role automated control systems—to filter, reprocess reassemble atmospheric metabolic flows with growing precision—remains under‐researched. In this article, we explore phenomenon environmental at three UK...
Climate/ecological breakdown and automation are two defining challenges of the current era, yet there is little research on their conjunctural intersection. Across experimental landscapes from agriculture to conservation mining weather modification, technologies increasingly being presented as key fixing, managing even transcending turbulent ecologies Anthropocene which threaten social economic reproduction. This emerging set visions, experiments uses rest systemic capabilities bundled...
Abstract In 2013, scientists implemented a binational exchange for emergency planners and responders in communities near Nevado del Ruiz Colombia volcanoes of the Cascade Range United States (US). This program was designed to promote understanding volcanic disasters effective mitigation options, motivate participants strengthen planning efforts, trust-building among participants. The 2013 Binational Exchange funded by Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP), joint U.S. Geological Survey...
Failure has become an increasingly important theme of debate in the literature on neoliberal natures. In this article we take up topic with respect to ecological offsetting, often regarded as exemplar market-oriented conservation. Comparing case species banking which emerged California 1990s frustrated efforts implement a biodiversity offsetting programme England beginning 2010, develop novel analytical framework for explaining why kind environmental market-making may or not be successful...
Digital mobility platforms have become increasingly pervasive over the last decade or so in a wide variety of urban contexts. Much digital platform activity has focused on city centres and cores, where returns investment are often seen to be greatest, existing transport infrastructure can thick there concentrated circulations people. The global spread coronavirus from early 2020 resulted widespread policies social distancing lockdowns. Though was geographical unevenness such policies,...
