Reflections on Comparative Teaching in Public Administration
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article integrates our scholarly experience of teaching comparative public administration. In doing so, we offer a unique perspective as the co‐authors carry several diverse attributes, among them their countries of origin, current country in which they are teaching, and their academic experience.

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Ultra-reliable urban air mobility networks
CoRRRecently, urban air mobility (UAM) has attracted attention as an emerging technology that will bring innovation to urban transportation and aviation systems. Since the UAM systems pursue fully autonomous flight without a pilot, wireless communication is a key function not only for flight control signals, but also for navigation and safety information ...

An Agent-based Simulator for Urban Air Mobility Scenarios.
, 2020 In the next years, flying cars are expected to become a real opportunity to realize Urban Air Mobility (UAM) systems. Most of the appeal is given by the opportunity of avoiding congestion, gaining time and reducing environmental impacts with respect to conventional mobility.
