Mapping of State-of-the-Art Good Practices for tackling UHI in the Danube region
We are proud to present the report “Mapping report of the state-of-the-art good practices for tackling UHI in the Danube region”, a comprehensive document developed within the international project Be Ready, which focuses on identifying solutions to mitigate the effects of urban heat islands in cities across the Danube region. The report offers an overview of contemporary and innovative approaches in urban planning and design aimed at enhancing resilience to climate change.
The report is the result of joint efforts by project partners. Ten cities from across Europe participated in its development, including the City of Niš and the Science and Technology Park Niš, which contributed by identifying and mapping good practice examples at the local level. In addition to an analysis of the current state and challenges, the report provides concrete recommendations and solutions for mitigating the UHI phenomenon in urban environments.
This mapping report brings together the latest technical solutions, community-based approaches, and policy frameworks that can reduce the risks of urban heat islands in the Danube region.
An integral part of the document is an Annex with detailed descriptions of good practices that have been identified and documented as inspirational models for other cities in the region and beyond. These practices include a variety of approaches — from the implementation of blue and green infrastructure and urban design solutions to participatory planning and community engagement.
This report represents an important step toward strengthening the resilience of cities to climate challenges and promoting knowledge exchange among stakeholders from different European countries.
