Area	Aranjuez
Country	Spain
Topic	Effects of climate change and adaptation possibilities - case study from Aranjuez, Spain
Author(s)	Eduardo Casado Fernández, Fang Yi, Daniela Staykova

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?

Illustration: Table or time line

Analysis of vulnerability

• If you consider these potential changes - which aspects/functions of your case study would be affected?
