About Szeged
Szeged is the third largest city in Hungary with a population of 160,258 and it is situated in the southern part of the country. Szeged faces various challenges stemming from its geographical features, notably being intersected by two rivers. The impact of climate change, characterised by increased droughts and water scarcity, has further intensified urban heat island issues, particularly in the city center and publicly used green urban areas. Projections indicate that Szeged and its surrounding Hungarian region will remain particularly vulnerable to drought, desertification, low rainfall, and rising temperatures, especially during the summer months.
