In the quest for sustainable urban development, Staterra, our new toolkit, can be a game-changer for city planners and policymakers. This innovative active travel modelling tool processes vast data points to illustrate the complexity of preference in people’s movement, revealing not just the most direct paths but also the routes people truly prefer. With Staterra, we can gauge the pulse of our cities by assessing the quality of roads and pathways, pinpointing high-demand areas, and analysing footfall dispersion near key amenities. Staterra’s ability to consume large datasets in building and interpreting networks is essential for planning our sustainable cities of tomorrow. The healthy cities of the future require a mixed-mode approach, and to get more people walking, wheeling, and cycling, we must understand their needs and preferences and design our cities accordingly.

Arup has launched a new tool called Staterra on the Arup website. Cities are complex transport networks with many types of road users and pedestrians sharing the same congested routes. To facilitate more active travel, we need to better understand how pedestrians navigate their way to work, leisure, retail and other amenities. Only then can planners understand where the most attention is needed and where investment in active travel will add the greatest value. Arup developed the Staterra (formerly known as uMove) toolkit to examine urban network quality for active travel as perceived by its users, informing better active travel and placemaking decisions.

A-Z of Transport Economics: M for Mode Shift There is general agreement among transport professionals that encouraging mode shift from motor vehicles to public transport and active travel is A Good Thing. This is because of the benefits this can deliver, including reduced carbon emissions, better air quality and a reduction to highway accidents. The DfT's Transport Analysis Guidance provides values of the benefit, for each vehicle kilometre removed, of each of these types of impact. These are known as 'marginal external costs'. These differ depending on: - The location: are the changes occurring somewhere rural, in an inner conurbation or an other urban location? - The road type: there are some differences depending on whether it is a motorway, A road or other road - The vehicle type, e.g. the environmental benefit per vehicle kilometre removed is greater for large trucks than it is for cars These benefits are therefore relevant for both passenger and freight schemes, and can be included within economic appraisal. To be able to understand more about active travel, Staterra is a very useful new toolkit that Arup has produced - find out more below! #WeAreArup #TransportEconomicsAtoZ #transporteconomics #TPSE #PeopleMovement

EcoWiz Series: Embracing Urban Green Spaces EcoWiz is venturing into the heart of our cities to spotlight the critical role of urban green spaces. As concrete jungles expand, the need for parks, gardens, and green corridors has never been more pressing. These natural havens offer not just a respite for city dwellers but also serve as vital lungs for urban areas, enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality, and contributing to the well-being of communities. #UrbanGreenery | #EcoWizOasis | #GreenCities The Value of Urban Green Spaces: • Biodiversity Sanctuaries: Green spaces are crucial for supporting urban wildlife and plant species, offering pockets of habitat amidst the urban sprawl. • Natural Air Filters: Plants in urban areas help filter pollutants and produce oxygen, contributing to cleaner air. • Climate Resilience: Vegetation can cool urban areas, reducing the heat island effect and making cities more resilient to heatwaves. • Community Well-being: Green spaces provide areas for recreation, relaxation, and social interaction, enhancing mental and physical health. #BiodiversityBoost | #CleanAirCities | #ClimateAction | #HealthyLiving Cultivating Urban Greenery: • Support Local Initiatives: Participate in or donate to urban greening projects like tree planting campaigns or community gardens. • Advocate for Green Policies: Push for policies that prioritize the development and maintenance of green spaces in urban planning. • Personal Contributions: Even small actions, like cultivating plants on balconies or supporting green infrastructure projects, can make a difference. • Sustainable Design: Encourage the integration of green roofs, vertical gardens, and permeable surfaces in new developments. #GreenInitiatives | #PolicyChange | #SustainableDesign EcoWiz’s Invitation: Join EcoWiz in championing the creation and preservation of urban green spaces. By fostering these natural oases, we not only enrich our cities with life but also build stronger, healthier, and more sustainable communities. Share your experiences with urban greenery, whether it’s a favorite city park, a community garden project, or your own green balcony oasis. Let’s transform our cities into vibrant ecosystems, where green spaces thrive and offer a sanctuary for all. Together, we can cultivate a greener, more resilient urban future. #sustainability #greencity #greencover #savetheplanet #savetheenvironment #fightclimatechange #coachingwithsudhasetty #melyoura

City Greening (aka green infrastructure) is a nonnegotiable if we are going to keep our cities liveable, enjoyable, and resilient in our changing climate. To realise the benefits of green infrastructure, we need to think at the city-wide level, recognising that every space is part of a broader network - ecological and climate systems don’t differentiate between public and private, and every place has a role to play.

Friends this is only the beginning. The days of simplistic green washing must come to an end. And stating the obvious is not enough. We are embarking on a journey to unveil the real tangible value of gardens in human made urban settlements and elevate the sophistication of designing, building, maintaining and monitoring these assets. For me its about more than just an inspiring vision of our future. That's just not enough. Its about real transformative change that makes a positive impact for those who will inherit tomorrow. I'm excited to rediscover simple truths, but also explore new ideas and technologies through collaboration. #citygreening #CityShaper #landscapearchitecture

The WHY of greening our urban environments is increasingly understood. The evidence and data to support the prioritisation and investment is mounting across all indicators from resilience, well-being, sustainability, and performance. In my view it's the WHAT and the HOW that is where we have the most work to do as an industry. On this front, we have brought together our very best insights from decades of lessons across policy, principles, science, design, management, and maintenance to drive tangible actions and strategies. We are ramping up these conversations and keen to bring these smarts to all our clients and projects. Follow the conversation here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g-JHDZy8 Urbis #CityGreening #cityshaper
