Here is the message I sent to the Arizona State University community earlier today regarding recent events and what we plan to do.

What can we learn about future #infrastructure #resilience challenges from #COVID? Concurrent hazard planning, rethinking criticality, efficiency-resilience tradeoffs, and leadership for instability. @urexsrn doi.org/10.3389/fbuil.…

Please join me Dec. 7-9 as I host a forum on Infrastructure and the Anthropocene. I'm chatting with three prolific speakers who will challenge what #infrastructure are and should do in the future. Registration is free! @urexsrn asu.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Excited to have a new article led by Mikhail Chester on #infrastructure #resilience in the #Anthropocene in the inaugural issue of nature #UrbanSustainability: nature.com/articles/s4294…

Infrastructure must embrace agility and flexibility in technologies and governance, and change how they make sense of their environments. Read our article in the launch issue of npj Urban Sustainability. nature.com/articles/s4294…

I had the pleasure of interviewing Prof. Thad Miller for the @FutureCitiesPod to frame #infrastructure as knowledge systems. The types of knowledge that our infrastructure systems are able to make sense of today and in the future is critical. Listen here: buzzsprout.com/125676/8133706…

Check out my new book with Braden Allenby: The Rightful Place of Science: Infrastructure in the Anthropocene. We describe how #infrastructure must change for a more complex world and future. amazon.com/dp/0999587781

The COVIDFuture Survey Project (covidfuture.org), led by Arizona State University and UIC News, and sponsored by U.S. National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Transportation, is pleased to announce release of Wave 1 of Survey Data. Download the data - dataverse.asu.edu/dataset.xhtml?…

Awesome to see excitement around #infrastructure! Costa Samaras and I discuss infrastructure investment for rapid decarbonization and #ClimateAdaptation at ASCE Publishing: source.asce.org/now-is-finally…

As the world becomes more complex our #infrastructure must respond in pace. Their ability to do so rests on how they are governed. Hear my discussion with Complexity Leadership pioneer Mary Uhl-Bien in the @FutureCitiesPod, & see our recent paper here: doi.org/10.1525/elemen…

We are thrilled to published the newest volume in #TheRightfulPlaceOfScience series, INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ANTHROPOCENE by Mikhail Chester & Brad Allenby. Read an exclusive excerpt on the CSPO site! cspo.org/news/infrastru…

We advocate that "loose-fit" #infrastructure solutions are needed to adapt to the deep uncertainty of climate change. Costa Samaras and I wrote an op-ed at The Hill about how infrastructure investments need to give us the ability to pivot in the future. thehill.com/opinion/energy…

There's a lot of talk about infrastructure function, but not the values behind infrastructure decisions. In this episode, Mikhail Chester interviews Adjo Amekudzi-Kennedy about how value-focused thinking can guide infrastructure decisions to deal with complexity. buzzsprout.com/125676/8338720…

I had the pleasure of speaking with Prof. Adjo Amekudzi-Kennedy on value-focused thinking. She presents a compelling case for restructuring how we approach #infrastructure based on current and future values. Urban Resilience

Take a look at my recent article in Issues in Science and Technology on how we should invest in #infrastructure. Technologies, governance, control, and expectations of stability will need to change to help future generations thrive. issues.org/complex-infras…

#infrastructure must function in increasingly complex environments yet appear increasingly unable to do so. In our latest work we describe Infrastructure Autopoiesis, the requisite variety to engage complexity. doi.org/10.1088/2634-4…

#Infrastructure transformation necessitates a recognition of social, ecological, and technological systems (SETS) dynamics. In this work, we discuss why cities need to evolve from SES to SETS #resilience &how Safe-to-fail design leverages SETS capabilities authors.elsevier.com/a/1eZYB6gsyPm0…

Cars are information systems becoming more tightly integrated into our sensemaking. Mobile sensing will improve our understanding of weather. Integrating car data streams into weather decisionmaking means cars will take on new roles beyond mobility. theverge.com/2022/11/14/234…

#SouthwestAirlines's decentralized model created vulnerabilities to climate hazards. Cascading failures occurred across the human resources that drive #transportation #infrastructure. Decentralized infrastructure do not always produce resilience. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

#california rains are a glimpse of legacy #infrastructure confronting extreme #weather events. With UCLA ITS, we estimated how #climatechange will alter future California post-fire debris flows and #transportation impacts. wildfires.resilientinfrastructure.org. escholarship.org/uc/item/60d0k7…
