Dear colleagues,
Tomorrow, a group of old students of mine (Summer School Alum) are giving an exciting online seminar on the tactical urbanism interventions that are being upscaled across New Zealand in response to social distancing regulations (more info here<https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roads-and-rail/innovating-streets/> and here<-%20https:/twitter.com/fietsprofessor/status/1249355572237029376>). At 11:00 AM you are invited join the meeting on Zoom. I think very relevant for most of you!

Dear UP group core team,
I hope all of you are safe and healthy!
Hebe and Jeroen have asked to meet with us to discuss possible changes of the MURP program. Maria and I suggest we hold a zoom meeting of one hour to deal with this. Could you (and also Hebe and Jeroen) please let me know by Tuesday next week if you have a problem attending a one hour meeting on Tuesday April 28th between 3pm-5pm. If too many people can’t participate, we will look for another day. If there are other issues you would like to put on the agenda, please let me know. In that case we might extend the meeting to one hour and a half.
Best,
Luca
