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 ...

Revitalization of Urban River Spaces (REURIS)

Start date: Aug 31, 2008, End date: Aug 30, 2011,

For decades, urban rivers in Central Europe were seen as a threat rather than a benefit. Thus, despite the fact that such areas are particularly important or often the only functioning or potential reservoirs of biodiversity and open space in the city, degraded or abandoned riparian areas are common in Central European cities. The essence of REURIS is to implement strategies and activities aimed a ...
