Impervious Land Expansion as a Control Parameter for Climate-Resilient Planning on the Mediterranean Coast: Evidence from Greece

Apostolos Lagarias

Abstract: Impervious land expansion is linked to ecosystem fragmentation and degradation, posing threats to nature conservation and multiplying climate change impacts. This is particularly true on the Mediterranean coast, where persistent urbanization is coupled with tourism development, further intensifying coastal erosion, flood risk, heat stress and biodiversity loss, while decreasing carbon sequestration. In this research, high-resolution imperviousness data were analyzed through a geospatial methodology to detect p… Show more

“…Cities and settlements should be able to return to a state of equilibrium in cases of economic crises (e.g. the financial crisis of 2008), unprecedented social transformations (e.g., refugee crises), or extreme natural phenomena, whether sudden (i.e., shocks, such as earthquakes, floods, fires, heatwave events) or long-term (i.e., disturbances, such as climate change) (Asprogerakas and Tasopoulou, 2021;Asprogerakas and Tasopoulou, 2019;Markada and Asprogerakas, 2020;Lagarias, 2023). According to Datola et al (2022), an assortment of urban attributes can contribute to maintaining and improving urban systems' resilience.…”
