Spatial Conditions

The network is built around repeatable urban situations that can be studied across different European contexts.

Tree-lined streets are compared across geometry, canopy structure, airflow and exposure conditions.

Open public spaces are assessed for shade, material performance, thermal stress and everyday use.

Continuous green infrastructure is explored for cooling, stormwater, biodiversity and comfort benefits.
