France’s vélorution is much bigger than just the capital. It’s happening in every corner of the country, with commitment at all levels of government to fund and build high-quality cycling networks. And in cities like Lyon, progress is moving at a dizzying and unstoppable pace.

Only 5% of people ride bicycles, so it doesn't make sense to improve bike infrastructure. Only 5% of people drive electric cars, so we're going to create a national charging network.


Looking forward to working closely with UEL's Sustainability team as we make a step change in driving forward a healthy future for our students, staff, community and organisation. #MYRDCS #SustainableFuture #netzero #impact @COP28_UAE

When did you become a surveyor? 🤔


UK housing standards for landlords need a wholesale health standard that includes freeholders and all rentals. A 2030 goal to halve the problem is not good enough and puts little pressure on much needed reform. #housing #freeholdreform #health #ukhousing theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…


All I want for Christmas is another name said 'Charles Henry John Benedict Crofton Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot' a humble resident of #Shrewsbury known for his support of a small organisation in need of political hinching!! 😂🙃 #HouseOfLords #bollocksnames #longname #Lords

I argue that mainstream environmental groups have made a terrible mistake in imagining that incremental change is quicker and easier to achieve than system change. System change is - and has always been - our only realistic option. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


Many buildings are unsuitable for renewable energy and a signal we need Net Zero approaches that focus on buildings and the wider urban context.


I am delighted to be returning to the Netherlands next month for the @UrbanOvation - study tour 7-9 July. The tour will explore urban and retail innovation in Amsterdam, Utrecht, a 'small' development in The Hague and Rotterdam urban-ovation.com/networks/event…
