Open access transport models: A leverage point in sustainable transport planning (2020)
Journal Article

A large and growing body of evidence suggests fundamental changes are needed in transport systems, to tackle issues such as air pollution, physical inactivity and climate change. Transport models can play a major role in tackling these issues through... Read More about Open access transport models: A leverage point in sustainable transport planning.

The grass is not always greener on the other side: Seasonal reversal of vegetation greenness in aspect-driven semiarid ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article

Our current understanding of semiarid ecosystems is that they tend to display higher vegetation greenness on polar-facing slopes (PFS) than on equatorial-facing slopes (EFS). However, recent studies have argued that higher vegetation greenness can oc...

Hybrid contractual landscapes of governance: Generation of fragmented regimes of public accountability through urban regeneration (2020)
Journal Article

In this article we explore the idea of public accountability in the contemporary entrepreneurial governance of cities, which are influenced by market dependency and private sector involvement. We specifically focus on the fragmentation of public acco...

Mediating the form and direction of regional sustainable development: The role of the state in renewable energy deployment in selected regions (2020)
Journal Article

This paper analyses and critically discusses the role of regions in implementing renewable energy (RE) policies, examining the relationship between state policy and RE deployment. Using evidence from four case study regions, Apulia and Tuscany in Ita...

Bristol Green Capital Partnership: An exemplar of reflexive governance for sustainable urban development? (2020)
Journal Article

The theory of ‘reflexive governance’ prioritises process over outcomes and advocates participatory procedures, valorising multiple sources of knowledge, mutual learning and continuous evolution of organisational forms. Through the lens of reflexive g... Read More about Bristol Green Capital Partnership: An exemplar of reflexive governance for sustainable urban development?.

Incorporation of a nanotechnology-based additive in cementitious products for clay stabilisation (2020)
Journal Article

The mechanical performances and water retention characteristics of clays, stabilised by partial substitution of cement with by-products and inclusion of a nanotechnology-based additive called RoadCem (RC), are studied in this research. The unconfined... Read More about Incorporation of a nanotechnology-based additive in cementitious products for clay stabilisation.

Mechanical properties and microstructure of fibre-reinforced clay blended with by-product cementitious materials (2020)
Journal Article

Clayey soils endure adverse changes in strength and volume due to seasonal changes in moisture content and temperature. It has been well recognised that high cement content has been successfully employed in improving the mechanical properties of clay...

Segmenting travellers based on day-to-day variability in work-related travel behaviour (2020)
Journal Article

Travel needs for commute and business trips are complex and choices are not made based on the characteristics of individual trips, but instead based on the needs over weeks and months. For example, the cost per trip of commuting by bus varies dependi... Read More about Segmenting travellers based on day-to-day variability in work-related travel behaviour.

Water sharing and the right to water: Refusal, rebellion and everyday resistance (2020)
Journal Article

In this commentary we draw attention to water sharing as political, highlighting the stakes and concerns around such practices. We engage a broad definition of politics, capturing everyday acts and practices that might be interpreted along a gradient...
