The #MadisonWI Plan Commission has 3 applications for car-oriented businesses on the agenda today. A car wash half a block from a future bus rapid transit station. A Starbucks _without_ walk-up access in the middle of a neighborhood. A bank drive-through in a regional mixed use district. In each case, staff analysis points out how this is against the recommendations in plans and ordinance, and yet they recommend approval. Our #TransitOrientedDevelopment ordinance is too weak.

This 2017 paper describes one of the reasons weāve spent years studying how #dust moves through the #CriticalZone. These particulates can have a deleterious effect on #PublicHealth and knowing where they come from and how they get where theyāre going can help shape health policy for community development and #LandUse.

š¢ #LandUse is the focus of the autumn series of the #IOERForum. It starts on 5.9. with a panel discussion on the topic of #mobility. Until December, 7 events from planning to monitoring will follow. All information here š https://www.ioer.de/en/events/ioer-forum
First #PhD position in #CommunityEcology opening in my new lab at Uni WĆ¼rzburg - initially 3 yr 65%. Project #MultiCrossBEF will study #landuse impacts on #aboveground #belowground #foodwebs & #energyflux in #grasslands of the Biodiversity Exploratories.
Applications due August 27th.

They found that #vegan #diets reduced #greenhousegas #emissions, #landuse, and #water #pollution by 75% compared to high #meat-consuming diets. The impact of low-meat diets was also found to be roughly 30% less than the high-meat ones.

Fascinating global #FoodSystem analysis by Joseph Poore. It exposes the inefficiency of the current food system, and shows that a #plantbased system would reduce global #farmland by more than 75%, freeing up vast areas of land for #rewilding.

Cities' elected officials love to talk about prioritizing transit but most of them don't have a lever to pull on for that. Getting cars out of the way of bikes and buses *is* something within reach. And if your city ever finally takes bikes seriously, enough people will be able to actually access transit. Politics/funding of #parking, #transit, #landUse, all works itself out once you connect and maintain a low-stress #bikewayNetwork. Wishing won't get us there, because #geometryHatesCars

it's #SpitballSunday
(yes i just made this hashtag up because I wanted an excuse to post the following)
#MassTransit and #PublicTransit
because #CarbonReduction in #Transportation
also because less #LandUse footprint with higher density
also because less time wasted finding a freaking parking space
also because better #HabitatConnectivity with a mixed matrix of green spaces amongst urbanization, serving as #WildlifeCorridors
this in turn improves #watershed recharge and reduces #stormwater management and #flooding problems because there's less #impermeable surfaces
mixed matrix of businesses, residences, and green spaces improves local economic #resilience by helping local businesses, and also improves #SenseOfPlace
sure, some people will want to live far out in the exurbs on big lawns but not everyone should be condemned to this #CarCentric infrastructure

"Many landscapes in the tropics consist of a mosaic of different types of land use. How people When considering biodiversity, forests often get the most attention. The researchers conclude that there must be a balance between the needs of society and the conservation of species-rich landscapes".

Redoing my #introduction:
Iām a #food & #climate researcher at the World Resources Institute (https://www.wri.org/).
Iām interested in solutions to feed a growing population while protecting #nature & climateāfrom improving #agriculture and #LandUse to reducing #foodwaste to #diet shifts.
Iām the Data Lead for Coolfood (https://coolfood.org/) and work on the GHG Protocol (https://ghgprotocol.org/) and Science Based Targets Network (https://sciencebasedtargetsnetwork.org/).
Looking forward to connecting!

The difference in land use - and the benefit to residents is really impressive at 730 Stanyan, next door to Amoeba Records in San Francisco. One fast food lot will become 160 apartments. I'm happy to see this. #landuse #urbanism #urbanplanning #bayarea #sanfrancisco #california
