This research investigates how landslides disrupt New Zealand's road network. By analysing past landslides, linking landslide severity to road impacts, and combining these relationships with landslide forecasts, the project aims to predict future road closures, improve emergency planning, reduce community isolation, and enhance public safety during severe weather and earthquakes.

This research shows how urban design shapes daily mobility and social encounters. Access to shops and transport influences how often people travel, how long they stay out, and who they meet. Cities do not just organize movement—they also structure social segregation and diversity through spatial design.
