BIOASTY: Sustainable Urban Design for Climate Resilience
Climate change has led to the development of adaptation strategies at national, regional, and local levels. However, these interventions are often implemented without a strategic focus, either overlooking areas with the most urgent needs or failing to optimize efficiency at the local scale. BIOASTY aims to address this gap. The project’s primary objective was to assess thermal comfort in various urban environments using high-resolution modeling and propose targeted interventions to enhance thermal conditions. The final outcome was an operational system with comprehensive action protocols applicable to the city of Tripolis, Greece, strengthening urban resilience under different climate change scenarios.
