Centri storici ed emergenza climatica. Strategie di climate adaptation per la resilienza del Cultural Heritage

In the coming decades, extreme weather events will represent major global risks, affecting numerous urban contexts with varying degrees of severity. Historical centers, in particular, display significant structural and physical vulnerabilities, making them ill-equipped to cope with the ongoing climate emergency. In such contexts, climate risk is directly linked to both their inherent fragility and their level of exposure to environmental hazards. Within this framework, an effective approach involves the adoption of preparedness strategies aimed at fostering resilient responses to climate impacts in urban areas, while simultaneously enhancing their adaptive capacity. This contribution, part of an ongoing doctoral research project, presents the development of climate adaptation strategies for Mediterranean historical centers, evaluated in relation to potential future climate change scenarios

Nello stratificato mosaico urbano delle città europee, strategie di adattamento climatico ben pianificate contribuiscono a ridurre i rischi e a rafforzare la resilienza di tutti gli ambiti insediativi, con particolare attenzione ai centri storici, più fragili ed esposti agli effetti di un clima che cambia
