‘The next decade will be all about heat’: can Athens head off climate crisis? Helena Smith in Athens © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Eye Ubiquitous/Alamy Like every Athens mayor, Kostas Bakoyannis is acutely aware of the illustrious heritage of one of the world’s oldest cities. After all, he says, it is busts of Pericles and his mistress Aspasia that adorn the entrance of the neoclassical town hall.

But Bakoyannis prefers to talk about the present, not least his plans for fountains, parks and trees – antidotes to the afflictions of more modern times.
