Journal Article
Barton, H., & Grant, M. (2013). Urban planning for healthy cities a review of the progress of the european healthy cities programme. Journal of Urban Health, 90(SUPPL 1), 129-141. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11524-011-9649-3

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the progress made by European cities in relation to Healthy Urban Planning (HUP) during Phase IV of the World Health Organization's Healthy Cities programme (2003-2008). The introduction sets out the general p... Read More about Urban planning for healthy cities a review of the progress of the european healthy cities programme.

Evaluating a collaborative IT based research and development project (2013)
Journal Article
Khan, Z., Ludlow, D., & Caceres, S. (2013). Evaluating a collaborative IT based research and development project. Evaluation and Program Planning, 40, 27-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.evalprogplan.2013.04.004

In common with all projects, evaluating an Information Technology (IT) based research and development project is necessary in order to discover whether or not the outcomes of the project are successful. However, evaluating large-scale collaborative p... Read More about Evaluating a collaborative IT based research and development project.

Retrofitting England's suburbs to adapt to climate change (2013)
Journal Article
Joynt, J. L., Williams, K., Gupta, R., Hopkins, D., Gregg, M., Payne, C., …Bates-Brkljac, N. (2013). Retrofitting England's suburbs to adapt to climate change. Building Research and Information, 41(5), 517-531. https://doi.org/10.1080/09613218.2013.808893

The majority of the English population lives in suburbs and this is where the impacts of climate change will significantly affect people's domestic lives: heat stress, respiratory problems, flooding, drought, deterioration of green spaces and damage...

Integrated suburban neighbourhood adaptation due to climate change: Local stakeholders' views on potential pathways for change (2013)
Journal Article
Smith, I., Williams, K., Hopkins, D., Joynt, J., Payne, C., & Gupta, R. (2013). Integrated suburban neighbourhood adaptation due to climate change: Local stakeholders' views on potential pathways for change. Structural Survey, 31(4), 301-313. https://doi.org/10.1108/SS-01-2013-0008

Purpose: This paper presents new research on the potential pathways for integrated adaptation that could make England's suburbs more resilient to future climate conditions. It focuses on the role of central government, local agencies and householders...

Evaluative application of UKCP09based downscaled future weather years to simulate overheating risk in typical English homes (2013)
Journal Article
Gupta, R., Gregg, M., du, H., & Williams, K. (2013). Evaluative application of UKCP09based downscaled future weather years to simulate overheating risk in typical English homes. Structural Survey, 31(4), 231-252. https://doi.org/10.1108/SS-01-2013-0005

To critically compare three future weather year (FWY) downscaling approaches, based on the 2009 UK Climate Projections, used for climate change impact and adaptation analysis in building simulation software. The validity of these FWYs is assessed thr... Read More about Evaluative application of UKCP09based downscaled future weather years to simulate overheating risk in typical English homes.

Triggers for changes in cycling: The role of life events and modifications to the external environment (2013)
Journal Article
Chatterjee, K., Sherwin, H., & Jain, J. (2013). Triggers for changes in cycling: The role of life events and modifications to the external environment. Journal of Transport Geography, 30, 183-193. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2013.02.007

There is surprising little research that directly investigates the reasons why people change their cycling behaviour. This paper presents findings from in-depth interviews that sought to understand the circumstances and factors that influenced people...

Inferring interdependencies in climate networks constructed at inter-annual, intra-season and longer time scales (2013)
Journal Article
Deza, J. I., Barreiro, M., & Masoller, C. (2013). Inferring interdependencies in climate networks constructed at inter-annual, intra-season and longer time scales. European Physical Journal - Special Topics, 222(2), 511-523. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjst/e2013-01856-5

We study global climate networks constructed by means of ordinal time series analysis. Climate interdependencies among the nodes are quantified by the mutual information, computed from time series of monthly-averaged surface air temperature anomalies...
