12.7 Conclusions
The urban heat island project gave us a comprehensive scientifi c insight in the phenomenon, useful tools and instructions for adaptation and mitigation of urban heat
island effects. At the same time it was proved that our efforts in the past were successful preserving the important green areas (wedges) and fresh air corridors.
We are satisfi ed with a big success of the project that can be recognized by the
number of people that were involved and mobilized by its activities.
