Goals, barriers and enablers to realising biodiversity delivery through new development (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The protection and enhancement of biodiversity through development is a key challenge for planning. In England, the planning system has adopted a mitigation hierarchy, which seeks to focus development in less sensitive areas, or mitigate or compensat...

A participatory urban governance framework for transitioning cities towards sustainability: linking the protection of urban ecosystems’ functions and circularity principles (2024)
Journal Article

The purpose of this research is to provide an urban governance framework that can aid decision-makers to transition cities towards more sustainability and resilience. Our premise is that such transition will take time, iterations and adaptations and...

Amphibious architecture: A biomimetic design approach to flood resilience (2024)
Journal Article

Amphibious buildings use the buoyancy principle in the design of their foundation systems to mitigate flood impact. In some cases, amphibious buildings are fitted with mechanical systems that further aid the buoyancy element to temporarily raise the...
