We had an incredible turnout at our annual Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity home panel build in Carmel, Indiana. Over 100 passionate Allegion team members joined forces to make a difference in our community. Working side by side with the amazing Habitat for Humanity team and a deserving family, we are proud to contribute to building a brighter future. Together, we are creating homes and hope for those in need. A big thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a huge success! Check out the photos to see the dedication and teamwork in action.

University Teacher & Doctoral Researcher @ Aalto University | Real Estate Economics | Futures Studies | Resilience & Regenerative Development in the Built Environment
#ResilienceWork takes centre stage, transcending sectors, cities, and continents. Fascinating to delve into the diverse approaches this all-encompassing concept receives across the globe. #resiliencebuilding #networking #FromTheorytoPractice
🌐 Exciting Collaborations Down Under! In January, RESCUE consortium lead Saija Toivonen and doctoral researcher Lassi Tähtinen had the privilege of participating in the 30th Annual Conference by the Pacific Rim Real Estate Society on the Gold Coast. They shared key findings from RESCUE, exchanged insights with peers, and delved into diverse presentations on contemporary built environment research. Gladly, the collaboration extended beyond the conference as Saija and Lassi joined forces with Riikka Kyrö and Rebecka Lundgren from Lund University. Together, they met with RESCUE collaborator Sara J Wilkinson at the University of Technology Sydney, and Resilience Specialist Nick Chapman from Willoughby Council. This provided a fascinating glimpse into the extensive #resilience initiatives happening in Sydney and its diverse suburbs.

I cannot recommend this film from The King's Foundation and collaborators enough https://lnkd.in/e3P8pp97. If you care about sustainable transport and/or sustainable development, give it 7 mins to watch. Like the places in it, I think it will pay you back. There is another way... It opens with the startling fact that in 1980 57% of homes in this country were built by small to medium house builders; in 2020 that figure was 10%. It has well-observed truths such as how it is easy to build a house, but harder to build a community. It understands that car dependency, once locked in, is so very hard to reverse and has such wide-ranging negative consequences. That everyone has the right to a high quality environment. That mixed use and mixed tenure work, single zoning does not. That the power of walkability, cyclability is very wide-ranging. That you shouldn't take out more than you put in. That this overall approach makes commercial sense. Best of all it is made by a bunch of landowners/developers! We see the negative impacts for shared transport of getting developments wrong all the time; sometimes we get to see the positive impacts of getting developments right shine through. Our report has thoughts on this: https://lnkd.in/eua66mrR Our response to the recent National Planning Policy Framework consultation from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government made clear our disappointment that the draft does not set very clear direction on how spatial planning must surely be used as a positive tool to help transport emissions reduce, bringing as that does an enormous package of co-benefits. Thank you Anthony Downs for posting this, thought-provoking as always.
"It's easy to build a house, but it's not easy to build a community." 🏘️ Our Building a Legacy initiative brings together thought leaders and new ideas in sustainable urbanisation. Through the project, we engage landowners and other professionals to create mixed-use, mixed-income, walkable communities that restore the balance with nature and make beautiful places that people can enjoy, and future generations can feel proud of. Meet some residents of these communities, and learn more about Building a Legacy, in our film. Watch in full on our YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eFy6kDmf Film by MOREVER 📽️

Interesting! The Great Saunter event, a 32-mile grand loop walk around the edges Manhattan. Increasingly, with the completion of pathways encircling the island, this kind of trek can become more broadly enabled. (In her piece, "Great Saunter Tips from Decades of Walking Around Manhattan" Sarah Milstein mentions that more segments of established pathways around the edges are falling into place.) Terrific to see the proliferation of these kinds of events, and, in the process, communities building this kind of walking green infrastructure! https://lnkd.in/gpE-C9F5

According to American Forests’ Tree Equity Score tool, nearly 85% of urbanized neighborhoods in Washington have inadequate tree cover. More than 2 million people have less than half the tree canopy needed to support the needs of their neighborhood. The City of Seattle assessed its urban trees and reported a net loss of 255 acres of tree canopy since 2016. State and local leaders recognized the need for urgent action to increase tree canopy equitably and save lives in the future. With a shared ambition to boost Tree Equity in disadvantaged neighborhoods disproportionately suffering the negative effects of extreme heat, American Forests and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources gathered in April at Seattle’s Roxhill Park to announce the launch of the Washington State Tree Equity Collaborative — the first statewide commitment to elevate Tree Equity Scores.

Mt. Elbert in Sept 2023. Some ask why we summit Mt. Elbert when it takes 3 days and 50+ volunteers to serve 1 individual. It often comes into question if it is worth it when we could serve so many more in that timeframe with that team. Mt. Elbert is more than a single experience. It is symbolic of everything we are building together. It is emblematic of the glass ceiling we will continue to shatter as a community. We are the change, and if we can do this on Mt. Elbert year and year, and it becomes normal instead of "impossible", then every trail in every community can become adaptable through community strength. We can create something more inclusive and equitable in the mountains. For the record, we did create 110 other "impossible" trail experiences in 2023 :)

The National Park Foundation is excited to invest $2.2 million in grants to affinity groups to build lifelong relationships with national parks. Everyone should be able to fully experience the benefits of the outdoors. The 62 projects selected for funding this year span 59 parks and focus on representation, accessibility, and interpretation – all things that leaders in outdoor recreation and equity spaces identify as barriers for communities that have been historically excluded from parks. https://lnkd.in/eQceMF-E
