inURBECitizens: strengthening INtegrated Urban climate Resilience in the Built Environment through multi-objective strategies and Citizens involvement

Cities face major environmental and social challenges, worsened by population growth and climate change. In particular, the urban heat island (UHI) effect can raise temperatures by up to 10°C compared to suburban areas, intensifying heatwaves and disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable. Additionally, climate change has led to more extreme weather events, with heavier rainfall in winter and prolonged droughts in summer.

Sea Level Rise and Coastal Impacts: Innovation and Improvement of the Local Urban Plan for a Climate-Proof Adaptation Strategy

In recent years, the territorial impacts connected to sea level rise have prompted a reflection on the responsibilities of policy makers in transposing these issues into urban agendas. The need also emerged to both broaden and update the skills of urban planners and to improve territorial governance tools, with the aim of developing feasible regeneration and resilience strategies to face climate change.
