Question:
If a row of trees are planted along a road, is it better for wildlife if those trees one species or if they're 3, 4, or 5 species repeating?

If problems in planning are the reason that houses are not being built, then the Govt's move to reform planning rules should contribute to ameliorating England's housing crisis...

But if the real problem is a market controlled by big developers, keen to keep prices high (by building new stock slowly), then it will have no major impact.

But in reality, these will be mostly the 'wrong' houses - the real issue continues to be the lack of social housing being built!

My colleagues at TU Delft are seeking to hire a postdoc to work on Applied Planning and Scheduling under Uncertainty, with applications in modelling supply chain scenarios for offshore wind farm installation: https://careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-Postdoc-in-Applied-Planning-and-Scheduling-under-Uncertainty-2628-CD/814890902/

Planning needs to be taken off NIMBY local councils to end the housing crisis and suburban sprawl: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/council-rejection-means-off-the-shelf-apartment-proposal-won-t-get-off-the-ground-20250218-p5ld67.html #auspol #planning #urbanism

Youth bicycle vs. vehicle accident in El Rio (Ventura County, California), in what might be the worst possible sidewalk/road infrastructure in the county. They don't even have sidewalks in this part of our county (traditionally, poor, Latino). These are the places where sidewalks + bicycle lanes + crosswalks would have the biggest impact on safety.

When you have a whole week available, but all the tasks are concentrated in two days: Tuesday (when you know you'll have a power outage at home) or Thursday (when you already have an outside appointment scheduled).

Murphy, get out of this week!

"Analysis shows the trend has been steady, and there is no recent new policy designed to address this. If the trend continues then one might expect more than 100,000 houses to be built on the highest-risk flood plains if the government achieves its 1.5m target.”
Prof Richard Dawson

Ludicrous.

February's ideal for making a runner bean trench to give their roots space & access to nutrients, as they are notoriously hungry! Fill it with veg peelings, manure & cover with soil. By spring, it'll be a nutrient-rich bed for your beans. #gardening #runnerbeans #growyourown #planning #allotment

I'm #planning on #graduating in a year or so, so I'm trying to make more #friends and get more involved in the #community outside of my #school. That way, I won't be #alone after I don't have all my school friends and community around anymore. I don't know where I'll go for a #PhD, but this area is still my #home.

I'm into #gardening, #cooking, #sewing, #painting, #CreativeWriting, #reading, #VideoGames, and #anime. I'm from the #Rochester, #NY area.

This discussion & the diagrams are an excellent explanation of why #suburbs are inefficient, create/cause traffic jams & are effectively welfare / subsidized communities tht don’t really serve any purpose other than exclusion. Is also a strain on climate change bc they sap resources (gas, energy, materials, time to go to/from), are less energy efficient etc.

High density areas subsidize #suburban (& often rural) life. #planning

We dream of long lives.
Our kids must settle for "good".
Theirs—for lives at all.

Plans rest on stability,
Climate's first casualty.
