Transition to more healthy and biodiverse urban developments? Multi-stakeholder perspectives on the cost of delivering biodiversity in new developments. A case study of England, United Kingdom (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has been demonstrated that biodiverse urban environments support health and well-being. However, the United Kingdom is one of the countries with the lowest biodiversity value globally. Efforts to address this shortfall and create healthier and mor... Read More about Transition to more healthy and biodiverse urban developments?

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...

Urban building energy modelling and generative design - an integration for energy-optimised urban design: A systematic review (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Global warming is having a significant impact on urban living conditions and putting pressure on finite resources. The built environment, particularly in urban areas, is a major contributor to this problem, highlighting the need for sustainable urban...

Amphibious architecture: A review of the construction methods adopted in existing designs (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Effective flood mitigation strategies at individual property level can be designed to limit damage and facilitate recovery by limiting water entry or enabling entry into occupied spaces in a controlled manner. Ideally these strategies will be robust... Read More about Amphibious architecture: A review of the construction methods adopted in existing designs.

Using an ecosystem services lens to explore a broader funding base for laneways (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Greening small urban street spaces such as alleys and laneways is increasingly popular with city authorities. Motivation for starting these projects varies and this may hold implications in terms of the responsible function and department overseeing...

When and how can surveyors improve the uptake of property flood resilience? New evidence and case studies (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper discusses the role of surveyors in increasing resilience to flooding through property level measures. It explores findings of recent research, both in the UK and internationally, and describes ongoing initiatives to increase the uptake of...

SuDS and human behaviour: Co-developing solutions to encourage sustainable behaviour (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2016 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are today widely considered to be a more progressive and environmentally sensitive approach to Flood Risk Management (FRM). However, this paper argues that the sustain... Read More about SuDS and human behaviour: Co-developing solutions to encourage sustainable behaviour.

An international understanding of the current and future role of chartered surveyors in providing flood risk advice for commercial properties (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Limited research has been done to understand the perspectives of building surveyors in the international commercial property sector in the context of flood risk to assets, valuation of risk and availability of insurance. There is a need to develop an... Read More about An international understanding of the current and future role of chartered surveyors in providing flood risk advice for commercial properties.

An investigation of flood memory, insurance and property value: The UK regime (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Availability of insurance cover is considered to be a key issue in saleability and reinstatement of property. With increasing flood risk properties are likely to find it harder to access easy and cheap insurance. Premium levels will increase if there...

An overview of municipal solid waste management in developing and developed economies: Analysis of practices and contributions to urban flooding in Sub-Saharan Africa (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Different natural and anthropogenic factors have contributed to increased flood events in recent times. Studies have noted the impact of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) practices on increased flooding. Increases in population, economic growth...

Conceptualising the benefits of green roof technology for commercial real estate owners and occupiers (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The benefits of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) are increasingly being recognised in terms of reduced flood risk, reduced cost of drainage, improved water quality, lower energy use and other, less tangible aspects, such as aesthetics and amenity....

Performance of sustainable drainage for urban flood control, lessons from Europe and Asia (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is widely accepted that urbanisation can have a deleterious effect on the natural water cycle, as the increase in impermeable surfaces leads to more surface runoff. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify the best possible evidenc... Read More about Performance of sustainable drainage for urban flood control, lessons from Europe and Asia.

Cities and flooding: Lessons in resilience from case studies of integrated urban flood risk management (2013)

Flooding can cause disruption and devastation in cities, with massive damage to livelihoods, property and urban infrastructure as recently experienced in New York City, Jakarta, Bangkok, Accra, Mississippi and Queensland. For cities in developing nat... Read More about Cities and flooding: Lessons in resilience from case studies of integrated urban flood risk management.

Overcoming the barriers to installing property level flood protection: An overview of successful case studies (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recent changes in the focus of flood risk management policy in the UK have led to an increased emphasis on making space for water. In the recognition that not all property at risk of flood can or will benefit from traditional engineered flood defence...

The barriers to resilient reinstatement of flood damaged homes (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The current debate about flood management in the UK involves the notion of making space for water, recognising the fact that it is impractical to defend large floodplains to a standard which excludes any possibility of flooding. Coupled with developm... Read More about The barriers to resilient reinstatement of flood damaged homes.
