Planning for congestion - it’s stupid
by Glen Smith Who said we shouldn’t be improving our roads? Road improvements increase road network capacity and so overall transport capacity. Plus many trips can most efficiently, or only, be made by car.

Recognition of differences in the capacity to deal with floods-A cross‐country comparison of flood risk management
1 INTRODUCTION Climate change is expected to result in sea-level rise and increase the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events, causing higher risks of coastal, fluvial and pluvial flooding. These risks are compounded by population growth, urbanisation and the concentration of people, infrastructure and other assets in flood risk areas (Kabisch et al., 2016; Keskitalo, 2013). Floods are amongst the most common climate-related disasters (Gourevitch et al., 2020).

The purpose of this article is to examine how intellectual humility lowers hostility toward people who disagree (dissenters) about specific political topics.

For analysis, both exposure to broadcast news and variation in media content are used to predict changes in feelings toward the candidates during the 2008 presidential election. The results suggest that increased exposure to broadcast news increased partisans’ favorability toward the out-party candidate.
