Nature is on emergency mode. World Environment Day is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. We are excited to share our Milaap documentary poster with you on World Environment Day (5th June, 2023) 
Milaap releases in June 2023, the documentary film will feature women and the stories of their lives being impacted due to negligent urban planning and its consequences to the river and the sea.
Produced by Marvi Mazhar, Abuzar Madhu and @mzohaibkazi , the short documentary aims to talk about environmental degradation, land rights, human / non-human epistemologies through poems, songs, and inherited knowledge.

How can water sensitivity transform our cities into sustainable urban spaces? 🧵
What is the challenge for water-sensitive #urban design on a #city scale?
Turning an area spread across 1250 square km, divided into 3 major valleys & a tank system into a water-sustainable space.
Turning an area spread across 1250 square km, divided into 3 major valleys & a tank system into a water-sustainable space.
But increasing urbanisation in the last few decades has been diminishing the city’s #water bodies.
Here are some ways you can make your layout/apartment/gated community more water sustainable...🧵
Here’s the challenge:
In a layout, how can we convert water from an individual, private resource, to an #equitable resource?
In a layout, how can we convert water from an individual, private resource, to an #equitable resource?
Imagine everybody using multiple straws to procure water from the same glass.
Is there an alternative to everybody sinking a #borewell, competing with each other to draw #water? How can this alternative be #sustainable?

packs bought pre-pandemic weighed 438 grams on average, the size has shrunk to just 309 grams now amid soaring inflation .... thats a 30% reduction in Volume/Pack...
In Other Words, CONSUMPTION per household in FMCG is Down 15% .... Cant recall such a BAD SCENARIO in 35 yrs..

Although future #warming will affect #vegetation, the big draw of this paper is the specific impact on #urban #forests. However, I would take quantitative estimates made with these #models with a grain of salt since they don't provide "true" urban climate signals. [1/n]
The study uses projections from 10 Global Climate Models (#GCMs) over 164 #cities; comparing modeled variables relevant to species survival against baseline values to predict future risk. A big issue is that most of these GCMs do not represent cities in any meaningful way. [2/n]
Several of the GCMs do not have explicit urban land cover or use simplified slab models. The former provides no urban-specific signals and the latter overestimates urban warming. More importantly, around half of the models use versions of the Community Land Model (CLM). [3/n]

It's been a few weeks and I've now had time to reflect upon my experiences visiting #Austria and @rnd_ironnike to attend the Urban Operations Expert Talks 2022 conference. It afforded me the opportunity to reconnect with #SbT colleagues and meet new contacts. A thread 🧵 1/12
The OUET22 event was coordinated by the Project NIKE team and ran in parallel with IRON NIKE, a major Austrian Armed Forced exercise, based in and around the mining centre of Eisenerz. It was significant that the Austrian Defence Minister visited this exercise. 2/12
Event was held at the "Zentrum am Berg" (ZaB) training facility within the Erzberg iron ore mine. A great example of industrial, academic and military cooperation towards a common goal. In this case, the ability to work collaboratively in the urban #subterranean environment. 3/12

My first #dissertation chapter has been published! The paper focuses on #predation of #urban #wildlife by #cats with recommendations for collaborative data-driven management strategies. Main points are summarized in this #infographic, but more info and paper link in this thread!
We spent 3 years surveying #WashingtonDC for #cats using #trailcams. Whenever we saw an image of a cat carrying prey, we noted the species and location, and added it to our predation database.
@narendramodi 18.11.21 [Writ Petition(s)(Civil) No(s).1240/21] Hon'ble SC dismissed writ petition filed by students seeking urgent directions to conduct Class X & XII #CBSE & #ICSE Term I exams in hybrid manner. #Omicron arrived post 18.11.21. Therefore, exams should be online.
#Children should not be made to suffer because of #Omicron. Centre and States must cancel all #offline #exams forthwith. As a nation, we cannot take such a massive risk & play with the lives of our children. Online prelims are done, marks should be part of board marksheet.
Children belong to households that have either lost family members due to #Covid19 or members who suffer from #comorbidities & cannot be vaccinated. #Omicron shouldn't be taken lightly. Save our children. Protect our children. Cancel all #offline #exams immediately.

➡️54% continue to use traditional solid fuels

Excerpts from "'America’s Post-Pandemic Geography' - Covid-19 is transforming all types of communities, from big cities to suburbs to rural areas" - from the Summer 2021 Issue of @CityJournal - by @Richard_Florida & @joelkotkin. A #Thread.

1. "The #Pandemic will pass...But in geographic terms, today’s Covid-precipitated crises may well prove to be the most transformative event that #America has experienced since the great migration to the suburbs after World War II."
2. "....centrifugal forces pull some people out of #Cities: families seek more #Affordable space, backyards, and access to better schools. With the wider scope of choice that #RemoteWork affords, some are casting their nets wider and moving farther afield..."
Great thread on #urban #Econ as a field and the ways it was pushed/evolved.
Similar to Penn’s RegSci PhD program. The #Regional #Planning program at @Illinois_Alma during the early 90’s all through the 2010’s was quite important in developing ties between disciplines ...
Similar to Penn’s RegSci PhD program. The #Regional #Planning program at @Illinois_Alma during the early 90’s all through the 2010’s was quite important in developing ties between disciplines ...
At some point you had people of all disciplines working together.. Geoff Hewings (my advisor) on InputOutput, TJ Kim on transportation, Luc Anselin and Anil Bera and Dan McMillen on spatial econometrics, Andrew Isserman, Kieran Donaghy, Lew Hopkins on rural, & urban planning ..
Out of @Illinois_Alma there was a great number of scholars that today are still working on these issues. We all grew from the amazing place that was the #REAL (Regional Economics Applications Laborarory) founded by Geoff and Philph initially in partnership with the Chicago Fed..
