Check out the latest #NAEPerspective! In his article, Mitul Luhar discusses reviving the Los Angeles River. Currently, much of the river is a concrete channel, but there is growing recognition that it could be so much more. Luhar describes how revitalizing the LA River is a prime example of a large-scale #infrastructure project that requires #engineers to work alongside #nature and #society.

New paper with Jean-Paul Addie now out in Urban Studies! Through a case study of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, we question how infrastructural #futures are understood and materialized by the region’s central planning stakeholders. For more information on our Regional Studies Association research network, check out the Network on Infrastructural Regionalisms page.
Bridging ‘infrastructural solutions’ and ‘infrastructures as solution’: Regional promises and urban pragmatism - Michael R Glass, Jean-Paul D Addie, 2024

Exceptional work by MsC University of Plymouth, School of Engineering, Science & Technology student Adam Ford. His research showcases how our retrofit Bouldnor model Vertipools effectively mitigate wave overtopping on seawalls. Adam's poster secured the best project award at the university poster day, and his dissertation achieved a remarkable first! 🎉 In a world grappling with sea-level rise and coastal flooding, which pose ongoing threats to urban infrastructure, homes, and businesses, Adam's findings hold profound implications. At a time when budgets for large infrastructure projects are constrained, the significance of his work cannot be overstated. At Artecology, we are dedicated to the continuation of research & development of multifunctional, handcrafted retrofit solutions. Our ongoing efforts focus on optimising the multi-functionality of retrofit Vertipools for habitat creation, coastal protection, and addressing issues related to change resilience in coastal communities. #ClimateChange #SeaLevelRise #WaveOvertopping #CoastalFlooding #CivilEngineering #SeaDefense #Seawall #BNG #Habitat #GreeningTheGrey #IntegratedGreyGreenInfrastructure #ClimateResilience #CoastalResilience #StudentResearch #UniversityOfPlymouth #AwardWinning #Dissertation #FirstClass #InnovativeSolutions #SustainableInfrastructure #AdaptiveDesign

significance of surveying📌 Surveying is the cornerstone of progress and precision in diverse fields. From shaping infrastructure projects to ensuring fair land distribution, it plays a pivotal role in our world's development. Surveying's impact extends to environmental monitoring, disaster management, and resource optimization. As professionals in this dynamic field, we contribute to creating accurate maps, supporting construction endeavors, and fostering sustainable urban development. Surveying isn't just about measurements; it's about shaping a better, more organized, and sustainable future. Proud to be a part of this transformative industry. #Surveying #Infrastructure #PrecisionMapping"
