Great to start the year by reflecting on #urbanresilience: I loved this no-frills #podcast chat with Lukas Petridis for our new @networkedcities @cityofmelbourne “City Resilience in Melbourne” miniseries, chatting #pandemics, #urbanheath & symbolic power

Do you love to hug a tree? 🌲🤗
@uowresearch & @UniMelb geographers have analysed @cityofmelbourne's 'email a tree' data.
Results may influence future urban policies and projects that aim to gauge public sentiments.
