From the perspective of the scientific-disciplinary debate within urban planning, this research addresses the theme of the “new urban question” resulting from environmental concerns related to the climate crisis and socioeconomic issues that have now become structural. It then delves into the connection between urban environment quality and quality...

The increasing concentration of people and economic activities in urban areas intensifies the pressure on the urban environment and hastens environmental degradation processes. Therefore, addressing the impact of climate change on cities is an urgent matter that demands the immediate attention of policymakers, researchers, and the general public, n...

According to the Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID, 2022), the number of displaced people worldwide at the end of 2021 was 59.1 million, with 53.2 million of them being the result of conflicts and violence, and 5.9 million caused by climate-related disasters. Furthermore, the In-ternational Organization for Migration (IOM) predicts that...

Il volume restituisce i risultati dell’attività di ricerca e sperimentazione dell’autrice nell’ambito del percorso dottorale presso il Dipartimento PDTA della Sapienza, Università di Roma (2017-2021), e di due progetti di ateneo svoltisi negli anni accademici 2018-2019 e 2019-2020. La cornice tematica è quella del climate-proof planning, con partic...

Cities and urban systems are the places most responsible for climate change, but at the same time they are the places where its effects are felt the most. A state-of-the-art analysis showed that Ecological–Environmental, Settlement, and Infrastructure and Service Systems are the components of cities most exposed to risk phenomena. Therefore, it is...

The increasing frequency of climate change-related extreme events observed in recent decades highlights the need to identify new paradigms for the sustainable transformation of the threatened territories, as also recognized in the 17 goals of the Global Agenda for Sustainable Development 2030. From the urban planning perspective, the achievement of...

It is not about the ability to looking at, but more the desire to do so, «come un palombaro che si immerge nella superficie» (Calvino, 1983).1 Writing about a journey means giving a representation of the events, which moves both from the general to the particular and from the particular to the general, it means finding a new method of approaching w...

Covid-19 has imposed a profound transformation on our lifestyles. As the months go by since the beginning of the Pandemic, the need to use public spaces, green areas, social spaces, and proximity services, has become fundamental. This new awareness imposes the need for a careful analysis of urban dynamics that does not relate to “here and now” but...

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 regene...

The big impact of human activity on the environment, which has taken place in recent decades, has contributed to determining the crisis dimension that characterizes contemporary territories, which are increasingly defined as "fragile". Human beings have so deeply and irreversibly modified the territory that many scientists are used to define our ge...

Contemporary urban planning is nowadays getting involved into thematics related with the slow and unceasing city transformations. This circumstance, highlights the need for overcoming the sectoral approach to urban complexity, in favor of a more integrated one (Macciocco, 2015), but at the same time it also shows the great opportunity of making a s...

The sea level rise phenomenon represents one of the most impacting effects of climate change on the territory, with particular reference to the Mediterranean area. Adaptation strategies embody a complementary approach to mitigation in order to perpetuate sustainable and resilient urban development of coastal cities. Therefore, local administrations...

Contemporary urban planning is nowadays getting involved into thematic related with the slow and unceasing city transformations. This circumstance highlights the need for overcoming the sectoral approach to urban complexity, in favor of a more integrated one. The context to which reference is made is the urban area; the challenge is about the adapt...

Una delle conseguenze più dirette dei cambiamenti climatici in atto è rappresentata dal costante e repentino innalzamento del livello dei mari, tematica sulla quale il presente lavoro intende soffermarsi, con l’obiettivo di offrire un contributo scientifico che favorisca, da un lato, il progresso della conoscenza sulle misure di adattamento dei ter...

The article is part of the broader debate concerning the processes of transposition, on a local scale, of the national strategies of socioeconomic and environmental interest. Specifically, the focus will be on the integration of the goals of two specific Strategies: National Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (hereinafter SNAC) and National...

Risk management due to the unstoppable effects of climate change on the territory is an increasingly topical subject in the international scientific debate. The theme of changing cities involves different disciplinary sectors, so it would not be exhaustive to analyse it from a unilateral point of view. The contribution proposes a multidisciplinary...

The term Anthropocene was coined in the 80s of last century to indicate the current geological era. This stands out from those that preceded it for the decisive impact of man on the climate and the environment. In order to understand how it is possible to direct a sustainable development of the planet, it is worth considering that for at least twen...

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 r...

The IPCC 2018 report represents the current state of knowledge on climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. One of the most direct consequences of these changes is represented by the raising of the sea-level, the topic on which the contribution lingers, highlighting how, to date, there is no declination, at the loca...

The growth of the world’s population is a central topic in the international political agenda and subject of intense attention for associations and research institutes involved in pursuing sustainable development on the planet. The UN informs us that by the year 2100 the world population will reach 11.2 billion and it points out how more than 50% o...

This contribution is inserted in the discourse related to the climate change issues, which implies the need of identifying new and environmentally sustainable urban shapes through actions of reconnection and reconfiguration of the morphological and environmental components, within the broader strategies of urban regeneration and resilience. In part...

Within the urban nature’s framework, the territory’s geomorphic changes due to climate change and how the build environment interacts with these spaces are of paramount importance. Specifically, the objective is to highlight how, in certain circumstances, the strong link between architecture and nature can result in a clear domination of one part o...
