Here's something we made today in an undergraduate lecture on 'changing climate behaviour in complex systems'.
The class were asked to each think of 1 factor that affects taking international flights, 1 factor affecting that one, and draw connections to what other people added.

Healthy Urbanism – now published – a deep dive 'why' & ‘how to’ book that reframes healthy urban development. Equity, inclusion & sustainability are centred, reversing traditional focus on individual ‘lifestyle choices’. Some theory, lots of case studies. bit.ly/3wJsm71

Join us to discuss Healthy Urbanism at the book launch.
Speakers from urban design and planning, public health and property development: @julianagyeman @KieronJBoyle @Yolande_Barnes and Iona O'Carroll
