New challenges for our cities´ public spaces creation in the time of climate change and new mobility trends

Description

Public spaces are the true essence of what makes a city, according to their condition and the quality that we evaluate. With the change in lifestyle, the forms of public space also change. The twentieth century brought traffic to public spaces, which dominated the entire public space with traffic congestion, and which turned public spaces into parking lots. In the countries of Western Europe, since the second half of the 20th century, it has been solved by the renewal of public spaces of cities so that they again become "living rooms" of cities, and a solution is being sought to displace transport from public spaces and how to make them habitable again. At present, this is being compounded by other new challenges, namely the impacts of climate change and new possibilities for electromobility and micro mobility. The paper will focus on the analysis of the requirements and possibilities of solving the state of public spaces so that they meet the requirements of habitability, mitigate the impacts of climate change (especially act against the formation of thermal urban islands) and create a sufficiently high-quality environment for the application of contemporary tenders in transport.

New challenges for our cities´ public spaces creation in the time of climate change and new mobility trends

UBT Lipjan, Kosovo

Public spaces are the true essence of what makes a city, according to their condition and the quality that we evaluate. With the change in lifestyle, the forms of public space also change. The twentieth century brought traffic to public spaces, which dominated the entire public space with traffic congestion, and which turned public spaces into parking lots. In the countries of Western Europe, since the second half of the 20th century, it has been solved by the renewal of public spaces of cities so that they again become "living rooms" of cities, and a solution is being sought to displace transport from public spaces and how to make them habitable again. At present, this is being compounded by other new challenges, namely the impacts of climate change and new possibilities for electromobility and micro mobility. The paper will focus on the analysis of the requirements and possibilities of solving the state of public spaces so that they meet the requirements of habitability, mitigate the impacts of climate change (especially act against the formation of thermal urban islands) and create a sufficiently high-quality environment for the application of contemporary tenders in transport.
