Disaster Planning and Emergency Management

FEBRUARY 21, 2021

The same shortcomings were present in the 2005 London bombings, as were others (for example, the way in which 'major incident' as declared). Absurdly, it is not treated as a profession and has no career progression or higher education requirements (I should add that the field has an intellectual history that stretches back 101 years).

Disaster Planning and Emergency Management

OCTOBER 23, 2020

There were major exercises on pandemics in 2005, 2007 and 2016. No country other than the UK has spontaneously abandoned its basic law on emergency management (in this case the Civil Contingencies Act of 2004). Plans were made in the UK in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2014. Clarity, trust, welfare, care and equity are needed, now.

Rebuilding Place in Urban Space

NOVEMBER 14, 2023

In 2005, I served on the advisory committee for the International Public Markets Conference which covered both DC and Baltimore that year, led a tour, etc. I first proposed to the city creating TMDs in 2005/2006. I participated in a workshop on the plaza led by Project for Public Spaces and Scenic America in 2004 ( write up ).

The other element that was educational for me was the velocity of change resulting from the new station. WMATA's 2005 study, Development-Related Ridership Survey , found significant car trip reduction associated with the buildings in Metrorail station catchment areas, even in areas outside the core. It's expensive to build.
