The paper, titled “The Role and Potential of Urban Interior Spaces in Climate Adaptation and Urban Sustainability,” examined the strategic importance of urban interior spaces within the context of urban resilience processes.
 
The study highlighted the need for cities to develop sustainable public spaces in the face of climate change and rising global temperatures. It noted that while traditional planning approaches often limit climate adaptation strategies to open green spaces or building envelopes, public urban interior spaces—such as arcades, atriums, enclosed courtyards, stations, and transit hubs—offer a crucial interface between the climate and social life.
