Development and application of mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures for counteracting the global Urban Heat Islands phenomenon (UHI)

Start date: Apr 30, 2011, End date: Apr 29, 2014,

As population of our cities grow, so does land area and this result in increase of an average temperature. The buildings and roads absorb temperature produced during the day, like giant heaters, and store it. The energy is then released during the night time. This often means a big difference in the temperature between city and its surrounding areas.This phenomenon is called the Urban Heat Island ...

ion and sustainable development of the Carpathians in a transnational framework (Carpathian Projec)

Start date: Aug 31, 2005, End date: Aug 30, 2008,

Historically, mountain regions located in remote border areas were often marginalised. They separate countries and peoples and face huge challenges regarding spatial development. However, mountain regions can also become powerful unifiers and a link between nations and peoples. As experiences, for example in the Alps, demonstrate, mountains have a considerable potential for development if the rich ...
