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.

Abstract
The joint Research presented in the text, financed
by MIUR DAAD funds, is dealing with the regeneration
of urban open spaces in the German city of
Munich, focusing in particular on the ‘intermediate
spaces dedicated to commerce’ in the historical fabric.

Relating microclimate, human thermal comfort and health during heat waves: An analysis of heat island mitigation strategies through a case study in an urban outdoor environment

Over the past years the concern of the international scientific community towards the study of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon has been growing. Such issue is particularly important in cities as Rome, where it is possible to experience intense heat stress conditions especially when heat waves intensify this phenomenon. Therefore this study wants to examine different mitigation strategies of the urban microclimate by taking into consideration the campus of the Sapienza University of Rome.
