Threads running through this quarter's calls and papers: adaptation delivery rather than risk mapping (Hamburg, Page 1); health co-benefits of blue-green infrastructure (Nature Cities, above); AI-based planning tools entering mainstream funding lines (the Horizon call's urban-planning topic; England's PropTech pilots, Page 6); and open, comparable city data as research infrastructure - from the Transport Data Commons to London's 20,000-dataset library. Expect COP31 to add measurable adaptation-finance metrics to the list.
