Climate change, sustainability and the built environment

Global warming is an unequivocal fact, increasingly affecting ecosystems all over the planet, especially urban ecosystems, with a consequent increase in singular events (heat waves, torrential floods, droughts, windstorms). In this sense, it is essential to radically rethink the historically inherited urban development model, promoting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the effects of this phenomenon on the population, both in terms of territorial planning and urban design.

Papers are invited on topics related, but not limited, to:

• Climate change and public policy
• Risk reduction
• Urban resilience
• Climate emergency
• Urban health
• Remote sensing
• Urban heat islands 
• Risk management and governance
