Abstract
Increased precipitation, temperatures and droughts are problems facing us in the near future (IPCC, 2007) (Van den Hurk et al, 2006). Urban areas are vulnerable to changes in climate due to their density and population size. This thesis scrutinizes urban adaptation strategies to cope with these predicted problems offering tools such as: a change in materials, vegetation, water and built form. Special emphasis is put on green roofs as an adaptive tool to retain stormwater, to isolate and to bring a solution to the urban heat island.
