15 February 2024 by Cyprus Mail

Fact: Marina Kyriakou, an architect and urban planner, is working with the Cypriot NGO Urban Gorillas and the European Creative Rooftop Network to map Nicosia’s terraces. She discusses the psychological benefits of spending time on rooftops and their potential for addressing issues like social isolation, the heat island effect, and lack of green spaces. Progress in repurposing rooftops in southern European countries, including Cyprus, is slower compared to northern European nations. Nevertheless, new rooftop bars, eateries, and cultural venues are emerging in Nicosia. The European Creative Rooftop Network, which Marina is involved with, aims to accelerate the creative use of urban roofscapes in its nine partner cities.
