Urban resilience, climate change and adaptation : coping with heat islands in the dense urban area of Athens, Greece
The development of resilient cities is the key factor for sustainable development. In the events of crises or hazards (natural hazards such as floods or climate change as well as societal extreme events as the financial crisis), cities should be able to fulfil their societal and economic duties in the long term. In many cities the question arises how and with which measures resilience can be increased and how strategies for successful sustainable urban development can be implemented. The publication summarizes the contributions of the Summer School 2017 in Athens that focused on the development and discussion of approaches and strategies coping with heat islands in the dense urban area of Athens, Greece. The Summer School is a central cornerstone of the university partnership for joint educational and research activities of the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Faculty of Architecture and Landscape) and the National Technical University Athens (School of Architecture), which is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) as part of the project "Resilience as Challenge for European Cities (HeKris): Developing urban planning strategies and concrete projects".
