Englische Ausgabe mit griechischen Abstracts / English edition with Greek abstracts
Taking Action r?kt die nachhaltige Gestaltung urbaner Transformation und die Vorbereitung dicht strukturierter Stadtr舫me auf zuk?ftige Herausforderungen in den Fokus. Wie lassen sich Klimawandel und r舫mliche Disparit舩en unter Krisenbedingungen und angesichts begrenzter r舫mlicher und sonstiger Ressourcen bew舁tigen? Wie knen ehrgeizige und umfassende Ziele mit der Realit舩 lokaler Bedingungen und Alltagsr舫men in Einklang gebracht werden? Und wie kann Wissen in Handeln umgesetzt werden?
W臧rend derzeit ?erall in Europa die grundlegenden r舫mlichen Beziehungen in St臈ten neu verhandelt werden, konzentrieren sich in Athen einige der dringlichsten urbanen Probleme und machen die Stadt zu einem einzigartigen Experimentierfeld. Die Autor*innen n臧ern sich diesen multidimensionalen Fragen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven an, um mliche Interventionsr舫me zu identifizieren, neue Transformationsmodelle vorzuschlagen und die Potenziale der urbanen Landschaften f? einen positiven Wandel zu aktivieren.
