Dear all,
Following our WP2 meeting on 3 October, this is a kind reminder for all partners to complete the WP3 and WP4 Excel templates by Friday 10 October.
These data files are essential for:
*
WP3 – to finalise the framework on transport networks and land-use dynamics (T3.1) and the participatory vulnerability analysis (T3.2);
*
WP4 – to support the calibration and validation of the system-dynamics model.
Please ensure that all relevant indicators, datasets, and sources from your tasks (e.g. T2.3, T2.5, T2.7) are entered into the shared file on time.
Thank you very much for your collaboration.
Best regards,
Ali

Dear all,
Thank you for completing the Doodle poll. The responses show that the Friday (13-14 UK time) slot is the most convenient for the majority, so our WP2 weekly progress meetings will now be scheduled accordingly.
For those who indicated they cannot attend at that time, I kindly ask you to make every effort to join whenever possible, as your input is important for the work package.
The final calendar invite will be shared shortly.
Best regards,
Ali

To proceed with launching the Delphi consultation, we need to involve additional experts. To ensure a wide range of perspectives, we kindly request that our partners suggest 2 to 3 experts from relevant fields (e.g., mobility, planning). These experts should be external to the consortium and ideally located within your country or network, with expertise in urban resilience, complexity, systems modeling, or related areas. Thank you very much for your assistance.

Dear all,
A quick nudge: only 6 responses so far. With the new academic year, we must move from Friday 9–10 (UK time) to a new weekly slot.
Please complete the Doodle by Wednesday so we can lock the recurring time for the term. Although the poll is date-based, the day/time you select will repeat weekly.

Dear All,
With the start of the new academic year, we need to reschedule our WP2 weekly progress meetings, as the current Friday 9–10 UK time slot is no longer suitable.
Please use the Doodle link above to select your availability. Although the poll is set up by date, the chosen day and time will repeat weekly throughout the term.
I would be grateful if you could complete the poll by next Wednesday so that we can confirm the new regular meeting time.
Many thanks for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Ali

Dear all,
Please take a look at the second version of the Core Equation. This represents a foundational step toward establishing a future equilibrium framework. I have attached the model along with the comments and questions I received from our partners. Please review them, and I would appreciate any ideas or feedback you can provide in the coming days. Tomorrow, I will give a brief explanation of the model and ask for your thoughts on the number of layers of equilibrium. Thank you very much!
