The program builds a new multidisciplinary collaboration network involving top European research institutions in architecture, urban design, regional planning and landscape architecture for better understanding the impacts of climate change in urban waterfronts and exploring them from social, environmental, educational, technological and urban design perspectives.
The network of the research program includes the University of Lusofona in Lisbon, the Technical University of Gdansk, the School of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Municipal Authority of Gdansk, the Greater Thessaloniki Development Agency, the Chamber of Commerce of Lisbon, the European Network of River//Cities, the European Intercult Network, the private consulting firm CPONH of the Netherlands, the KTH Stockholm and the University of Rome –La Sapienza .
The network of institutions participating in the SOSCLIMATEWATERFRONT program attempts a cooperation through actions and events hosted in the different cities where these institutions are located. Events offer the possibility for researchers to contact local communities, local government representatives and survey the sites discussed. The actions concern scientific meetings, intensive design workshops, symposia, exhibitions as well as publications reaching out to a wider audience, locally and globally, for the dissemination of the research results of the program.
The School of Architecture of the University of Lusofona in Lisbon in collaboration with the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the participation of researchers and academics from the partners’ institutions of the SOSCLIMATEWATERFRONT program organizes a one month event in Lisbon. Within this month event interdisciplinary meetings will be organized, as well as lectures and intensive urban design and planning workshops.
