Climate and Urban Landscape of Maritime Public Spaces in Mediterranean Cities of Arabic Origin

2014
Cristian Suau

Traditional urban fabrics, currently in severe dereliction and abandonment, of Arab cities along the Mediterranean coast offer new opportunities for studying resilient urban forms and patterns through climatic design. This study proposes a comparative analysis of public spaces in the Mediterranean cities of Tangier, Beirut and Malaga. It reflects on urban landscape recovery, via alternative game plans regarding forms, orientation, passive ventilation, greenery, surface materials, and colours
