Interview with Assoc. Prof. Ing. David Stránský, Ph.D., Head of the Department of Municipal Water Management, Faculty of Civil Engineering, CTU in Prague
Six years ago, Assoc. Prof. David Stránský spoke in the Priorita journal about the fact that by linking rainwater with urban greenery, a city can obtain a form of cheap air conditioning. Since then, the topic of water management in cities has advanced not only in terms of legislation and technologies, but also in the approach of the public and local authorities. How does he view developments in this field today, where is research at the Department of Municipal Water Management at CTU heading, and what does he consider to be the key to a sustainable ur-ban environment? These were the questions we addressed in the following interview.
