Urban October 2020: a round-up

Welcome to the October edition of the SHLC Bulletin!

Thank you to all SHLC teams for completing the RTP2 summary papers, and for your hard work and effort to get them published during Urban October. We encourage all SHLC teams to read each other’s work and share with your own network and colleagues. 
 
Some research teams are ready to pilot their questionnaire for the household survey by the end of 2020. As a reminder, if you want to pilot, remember to fill out additional COVID-19 research ethics requirements. If you have any questions, please contact Keith Kintrea. The safety and security of fieldworkers and participants should always be our first priority. Please do not feel pressured to start fieldwork if it is not safe to do so. 
 
Thank you to Josephine Malonza from the Rwanda team for speaking at our Virtual Panel Event exploring housing and sustainable urban development. If you missed the event, you can catch up on the recording via the SHLC website.
 
It has been a challenging and long year, and we appreciate everyone's energy and commitment to SHLC's research. We are currently starting to do scenario planning to help support a project extension request. We will be in touch with Co-Investigators to discuss further. 

As always, if you have any news or have read a research article you would like to share with the rest of the team, remember to send updates to our project team to be included in the next SHLC Bulletin: [email protected]. 
 
Take care and, as always, stay safe!

"A safe walkable environment is pivotal to uphold the sustainability of any neighbourhood. It opens multiple windows of sustainability including better social cohesion, better environment, less pollution, mental satisfaction, community pride and so on. My photograph is a demonstration of safe walking environment that contribute to the neighbourhood sustainability."
