The document discusses several key topics regarding coastal processes and geomorphology:
1) Coasts are important interfaces between land and sea that are hazardous due to erosion and flooding. They also provide economic value through activities like tourism.
2) Coasts are open systems with inputs of energy, sediments, and processes like erosion and deposition that create landforms. They have outputs like deposited material onshore.
3) Sediment cells define discrete lengths of coastline where sediment movement is self-contained through longshore drift. These inform shoreline management plans.

Greater thames estuary fish migration roadmapWanda Bodnar
Utilising GIS technology, the Fish Migration Roadmap provides a method that focuses on a ‘whole system’, sea-to-source approach that, similarly to an underground or road network, looks at rivers as interconnected migratory routes. By considering rivers as 'Highways', 'A-roads' and 'B-roads', barrier locations and river network connectivity can be easily visualised on one or more rivers, or in entire river catchments. This can help reprioritise barriers and provide a blueprint for strategic steps that can help open up entire migratory routes.

This document discusses aligning the interests of pedestrians and cyclists for a more livable city. It notes that while everyone walks, there is no powerful lobby to advocate for walking. It also states that pedestrians and cyclists dream of the same things - they want livable streets and to not have to put up with poor conditions. The document calls for a coherent vision and strategy to reclaim streets for a more livable city that prioritizes walking, cycling, and public transit over cars. It advocates for traffic calming and safer streets for all.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Bruce McVean of the Movement for Liveable London about making changes to London's transportation system to improve health, wealth, and happiness. It discusses how cities are designed for mutual enrichment between people but that streets now have limited space and fierce competition between modes of transportation. It argues that London needs a proper transportation plan and political will to shift more space from cars to walking, cycling, and public transportation to make the city healthier, wealthier, and happier for residents.
This document outlines 9 steps for designing urban areas that promote walking and cycling: 1) Build dense, mixed-use neighborhoods; 2) Create a well-connected street grid; 3) Design great streets that are pleasant for walking and cycling; 4) Sensibly approach car parking; 5) Prioritize and celebrate bicycle parking; 6) Only implement cycle lanes when necessary; 7) Consider the wider area beyond just the development site; 8) Familiarize yourself with the local area by walking and cycling; 9) Remember that placemaking can increase property values.

This document discusses the importance of walkable high streets and some of the challenges they face. It notes that walkable high streets are important for communities but that they need to balance the needs of different functions and users. The document also emphasizes that improvements to public spaces on high streets can increase foot traffic and local business revenue by up to 40%. It encourages speaking up to local councils to help rebalance high streets to better serve pedestrians.
This document discusses light segregation as a way to provide protected space for cyclists. It presents a case study of Royal College Street where light segregation was used successfully to reduce collisions. Light segregation uses low-cost, removable objects like armadillos, planters and poles spaced 2.5-10 meters apart to delineate space for cycling while allowing flexibility. It has benefits over full segregation in being adaptable and enabling both protected and vehicular-style cycling. The London Cycling Design Standards provide guidelines for implementing light segregation.
