I’m excited to share our new paper entitled “Designing for happiness, building for resilience: a systematic review of key factors for cities “ published in the International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development. It was a great collaboration with Professor Daniel Aldrich and sahar samavati . This paper discusses the importance of considering both urban resilience and urban happiness in cities and how policies can enhance both. Cities today face the dual challenge of increasing vulnerability to disruptions and a growing demand for improved quality of life. By prioritising happiness and resilience, cities can create sustainable environments that promote health, social cohesion, and adaptability to various stresses and withstand economic, social, and environmental shocks while fostering the well-being, inclusivity, and quality of life of all residents. This study aims to understand what indicators most impact urban resilience and happiness through a systematic literature review. Our analysis uncovered that factors with a dual impact on improving urban resilience and happiness fit into the following categories: individual, social, socio-economic, environmental, infrastructural, technological, resource-based, place-based, urban planning, and housing-related. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of how urban design and policies can enhance both resilience and happiness in cities.

As cities grow, traditional analytical approaches often oversimplify complex urban challenges. Adopting a systems thinking perspective allows for holistic, integrated solutions that consider interconnections and foster sustainable urban development. What complex urban challenges do you think could benefit the most from a systems thinking approach?

I'm excited to share that I recently completed the Sustainable Cities Specialization, a comprehensive four-course series that explores the challenges and solutions for creating more sustainable and resilient urban environments. The specialization covers a wide range of topics, including urban planning, green infrastructure, transportation systems, and sustainable development. "Sustainable Cities & Communities" is an interesting and essential topic that is relatable to what we are witnessing in the Kingdom's new projects and developments.

In this episode of #unPlanned, we sit down with architect and urban planner Leonardi Aray AIA to understand the similarities that cities in the Americas share (and how they differ from their European counterparts). https://lnkd.in/eQkAJPPU

Excited to share our latest publication, "A Review of Primary and Cascading Hazards by Exploring Individuals' Willingness-to-Pay for Urban Sustainability Policies," now published in City and Environment Interactions Elsevier. Our study examines the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for urban sustainability policies, shedding light on what people value most when it comes to building resilient cities.
