Englische Ausgabe mit griechischen Abstracts / English edition with Greek abstracts Taking Action rückt die nachhaltige Gestaltung urbaner Transformation und die Vorbereitung dicht strukturierter Stadträume auf zukünftige Herausforderungen in den Fokus. Wie lassen sich Klimawandel und räumliche Disparitäten unter Krisenbedingungen und angesichts begrenzter räumlicher und sonstiger Ressourcen bewältigen? Wie können ehrgeizige und umfassende Ziele mit der Realität lokaler Bedingungen und Alltagsräumen in Einklang gebracht werden? Und wie kann Wissen in Handeln umgesetzt werden? Während derzeit überall in Europa die grundlegenden räumlichen Beziehungen in Städten neu verhandelt werden, konzentrieren sich in Athen einige der dringlichsten urbanen Probleme und machen die Stadt zu einem einzigartigen Experimentierfeld. Die Autor*innen nähern sich diesen multidimensionalen Fragen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven an, um mögliche Interventionsräume zu identifizieren, neue Transformationsmodelle vorzuschlagen und die Potenziale der urbanen Landschaften für einen positiven Wandel zu aktivieren. English edition with Greek abstracts / Englische Ausgabe mit griechischen Abstracts Taking Action brings into focus the sustainable design of urban transformation and the preparation of densely-structured urban spaces for future challenges. How can climate change and spatial inequalities be tackled under crisis conditions and in view of limited spatial and other resources? How can we relate our ambitious and broadly defined goals to the reality of local conditions and everyday spaces? How can knowledge be translated into action? While basic spatial relations are currently being renegotiated in cities throughout Europe, it is in Athens that some of the most pressing urban problems have been crystallized in order to establish unique spaces of experimentation. Approaching these multi-dimensional questions from different perspectives, the authors seek to identify possible sites of intervention, suggest new models of transformation, and unleash the potential in urban landscapes as a means of stimulating positive urban change.
