CLIMATE-BASED STRATEGIES FOR URBAN LANDSCAPES

We need radically new ways of engaging climate, landscapes, waterscapes, and biodiversity as holistic practices in our urban landscapes and planning – if we want our descendants to inherit a healthier and more affluent planet. Motivated by climate change, the Centre for Emerging Landscapes will create new methods for developing future urban landscapes.

Based on place-specific qualities, the centre will use integrated and applied research for testing new opportunities in the green transition of our territories based on intervention and exploration. Focusing on ecologies integrative of both human beings, other species, and natural processes, the centre’s approach is to use knowledge of climate and place-specific conditions for creating synergies and identifying potentials for transforming the existing environment – in both the short and the long-term.
