LI}, journal={Teka Komisji Urbanistyki i Architektury Oddziału Polskiej Akademii Nauk w Krakowie}, pages={215-247}, howpublished={online}, year={2023}, publisher={Oddział PAN w Krakowie}, abstract={The article describes selected activities included in the climate change adaptation program implemented by the city of Lisbon. It analysed changes in public spaces, ways of implementing individual tasks, as well as planning documents, architectural, technical and natural solutions. Special attention was paid to the role of research in shaping and directing urban policy. Economical management of drinking water and rainwater is integrated with the creation of new public green spaces with different functions. It is evident that there is a desire to create a continuity of green zones, where new plantings not only promote the improvement of perceived thermal comfort, but also become new attractive pedestrian and bicycle routes. Of great interest to residents are the newly created allotment gardens, aimed at the development of urban agriculture. Some of the investments, located in tourist areas, are also of image importance, which helps build the ‘green brand of the city’, and the appreciation of Lisbon’s efforts in this regard was the award of the title of European Green Capital in 2020. The biggest challenge, however, is still to improve the accessibility and quality of public transportation. Observing the implementations, it can be seen that all pro-climate measures coincide with the broader public interest and have positive effects on the quality of the design of public spaces.}, type={Article}, title={Climate Change Adaptation as an Element of Urban Policy and the Shaping of Public Space: The Case of Lisbon}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/130618/2023-TEKA-12.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2023.148977}, keywords={Lisbon, climate change adaptation, urban policy, urban heat island (UHI), urban public spaces}, }
