Weather in the City
Boekpresentatie
Ten years after its well-received publication, ‘Weather in the City — How Design Shapes the Urban Climate’ is more relevant than ever. Prolonged heat waves are a source of many heat stress related problems, especially in our cities, which tend to exacerbate already high temperatures. At the same time, local councils and residents are more aware of problems caused by certain wind phenomena in the city. What has happened and changed on the topic of urban climate?
Author and landscape architect Sanda Lenzholzer will explore new urban climate strategies, followed by a panel discussion with experts Marjolein van Esch (Delft University of Technology), Jeroen Kluck (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences), David Huijben(design agency CB5), Rixt Hofman (Municipality of Amsterdam) and Sanda Lenzholzer herself. How can urban climate be effectively integrated into research, policy, and design?
