Presentations overview Hot places – Cool spaces Symposium
The symposium ‘Hot places – Cool spaces’ was organised by the Dutch research programme Climate changes Spatial Planning (CcSP) on the 25th and 26th of October 2007. The subject was climate change in urban areas, the effects of heat in cities and what measures could be implemented to mitigate these effects. The seminar consisted of two days, one open to a wider public and the following day restricted to a selected group of scientists and some practitioners.
The objective of the seminar was to gain insight in what research and policies on the issue of heat in urban areas are undertaken in some other countries. The second objective was to appraise the focus of the CcSP research project Climate and heat in urban areas.
