Coastal Urban Regeneration and Ecosystem Restoration: Relocation Strategies for Climate Crisis Migrants

Coastal Urban Regeneration and Ecosystem Restoration: Relocation Strategies for Climate Crisis Migrants

Climate change, which has become more and more extreme and frequent in recent decades, is now the focus of scientific and disciplinary debate and undoubtedly represents one of the next challenges with which the 'global risk society' (Beck, 2011) will have to contend, both because of its growing impact on cities and territories, and because of the empirical evidence of the economic, social and environmental damage it causes.

Public space and climate change. Innovative planning approaches for the urban regeneration of coastal cities

The recent news highlights that one of the most evident manifestations of climate changes on the
territory is represented by coastal flooding as a result of the combined effect of sea level rise and the
increasingly frequent and violent rainfall.
Cases such as the massive flood that hit Manhattan, following Hurricane Sandy in 2014, require a
deep reflection on how to guide the sustainable development of coastal areas in urban areas, while
at the same time managing to guarantee a quality public space.
