Rationale: Why have you selected this case study area?
- Aranjuez is a town and lying 48 km south of Madrid in the southern part of the autonomous community of the Community of Madrid.
As of 2009, it has a population of 54,055. It is in the Wolrd Heritage List as Cultural Landscape. Climate change is affecting the massive Platanus x hispanica (more than 20-30 m high), the urban planning is also not so helpful, and there are also some other problems, they should be solved as soon as possible.
Authors' perspectives
- how can we use Landscape planing to improve the environment(to find a solution) for the trees
Landscape and/or urban context
- Biogeography, land use patterns, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics
- ratio of green/blue and sealed/built-up areas
Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses
Cultural/social/political context
- Brief explanation of culture, political economy, legal framework
Illustration: Bullet points, image, background notes
Local Climate
- What are the climatic conditions at present? Have there been extreme weather events in the near past?
- Which changes are expected? Is there any evidence?
