CLIMATE CHANGE – THERMAL COMFORT IN PUBLIC SPACES

Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change will be main drivers for new urban policies in the coming decades: Nature Based Solutions, Heat Stress Reduction, Flood Management, Zero Carbon Policies or Health Measures. Urban Design must be thought more than ever as a process of evolutions, constant changes. We cannot design a space thinking that it is finished once it is built. The external conditions will change rapidly in time, so urban space must be designed to have the capacity to adapt quickly.

Heat stress mapping is essential to re-design urban space.
