About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Norbert Kling is a researcher at the Chair of Sustainable Urbanism at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and partner at the practice zectorarchitects with offices in London and Munich. He trained as an architect and urban designer and holds a doctorate from the Department of Architecture at TUM. His research interests include conditions of asymmetric urban change and alternative spatial practices, as well as questions of concept formation, method, and process in the spatial and design disciplines. Tasos (Anastasios) Roidis is an architect and landscape architect who graduated from ETH Zurich. He is a research and teaching associate at the Chair of Sustainable Urbanism at TUM, and previously worked at ETH Zurich’s Urban Think-Tank. He explores strategies for more sustainable and livable futures in urban and peri-urban areas using the urban landscape of Athens and its many generic patterns as a case study. His practice is focused on the interdependencies between architecture, landscape, and public space. Mark Michaeli is Professor for Sustainable Urbanism at the School of Engineering and Design at TUM. Since graduating from ETH Zurich with a degree in architecture, he has focused on research and teaching on sustainable urbanization and transformation strategies, as well as on designs for metropolitan peripheries, peri-urban zones, and rural areas. He has contributed to and been involved with the foundation of numerous research networks and programs, including SEC Future Cities Lab Singapore, EIT Climate-KIC, horizon2020, and the DFG-sponsored Urban Green Infrastructure doctoral program, as well as the Urban Age and Open City research projects.
