The aim of the paper is to show prelimina- ry results of research focused on providing a system-scale understanding of the inter- relationships between climate change effects (specifically, heat waves and Urban Heat Islands, UHI) and the built environment (urban morphology, land use, energy and mobili- ty) and to use this understanding to design cities that are more resilient. Core part of the research are analyzing key factors involved (agents related to the urban surface energy balance) and building a GIS+Digital Ur- ban Model (case study: Milan area) for the (effectiveness and feasibility, synergies and contrasts, smartness and sustainability) asses- sment and simulation of adaptation measures. Analysis of the results will lead to reasonable recommendations and suggestion for policy makers, planners and designers to implement, measure and monitor city response to UHI and climate change

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to show prelimina- ry results of research focused on providing a system-scale understanding of the inter- relationships between climate change effects (specifically, heat waves and Urban Heat Islands, UHI) and the built environment (urban morphology, land use, energy and mobili- ty) and to use this understanding to design cities that are more resilient. Core part of the research are analyzing key factors involved (agents related to the urban surface energy balance) and building a GIS+Digital Ur- ban Model (case study: Milan area) for the (effectiveness and feasibility, synergies and contrasts, smartness and sustainability) asses- sment and simulation of adaptation measures. Analysis of the results will lead to reasonable recommendations and suggestion for policy makers, planners and designers to implement, measure and monitor city response to UHI and climate changeFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
