Advice on the urban redevelopment pilot project with de-paving of the first lot of via Metastasio

Current status: concluded

Funding programme: Fondazione CARIPLO

Project budget: € 5.000

Website: https://www.comune.brescia.it/via-metastasio

The goal of this pilot intervention, which will be completed by the end of spring 2023, is to improve climate comfort and drainage at the micro-urban scale, achieve greater ecological and landscape quality, and improve bicycle and pedestrian viability.
The project involve a total area of approximately 8,000 m2. with an investment of 1,273,000 euros, of which 923,000 from the Lombardy Region and 350,000 from the Municipality of Brescia.

climate change adaptation / urban green spaces improvement

Master plan for the expansion and redevelopment of Olmi Park in Bergamo

Current status: concluded

Funding programme: Fondazione CARIPLO

Project budget: € 25.000

Website: –

The Ermanno Olmi Park Masterplan envisions the redevelopment of the current Park area and its expansion through the depaving of part of the Malpensata parking lot. It assumes a multiplicity of objectives to be achieved harmoniously, which are, in logical order: the sports, recreational and safe use of the Park, the improvement of climatic comfort, the enhancement of biodiversity, the absorption of CO2, the increase of urban drainage and the mitigation of air pollutants.
In this regard, two types of design solicitations were harmonized:
- the proposals from the citizen's participatory process, which are the priority references of the Masterplan project;
- the design elements resulting from the objectives set forth in the "Click-Bergamo" Climate Transition Strategy.

climate change adaptation / sustainable development / industrial areas

climate change / adaption / mitigation

Bergamo climate transition strategy

Current status: Uprunning (June 2021 / September 2022)

Funding programme: Fondazione CARIPLO

Project budget: € 15.000 (DAStU, CCRR-Lab)

Website: www.comune.bergamo.it/node/366480

Theaim is to support the development of the Strategic Framework and the Monitoring System of the Climate Transition Strategy for the territories of the Municipality of Bergamo and the Parco dei Colli. This involves the definition of the long-term vision and of the objectives of the strategy and the identification and structuring of direct and induced indicators to support the monitoring of the implementation of the planned actions and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Strategy itself. Furthermore are identified the timing of implementation of the actions, the activities and the interventions and their integration into the urban planning tools of the the Municipality of Bergamo and of the Parco dei Colli. All of these activities are also developed through some initiatives discussed with citizens and stakeholders to share the work path and the main contents of the Strategy and of the interventions.

climate change adaptation / territorial risk management

Method for assessing and mapping the territorial risk to heat

Current status: uprunning

Funding programme: internal

Project budget: € 10.000 for the first step

The assessment and the representation of heat risk factors (danger, exposure, vulnerability) is functional to support the development of strategies and actions to intervene on the physical-morphological, socio-economic and organizational factors of urban areas to reduce the intensity of this risk. The goal of this work is to help developing a method for assessing and mapping territorial heat risk based on an open, flexible and repeatable map system. This work stems from a recently developed theoretical and practical activity and achieves some important results such as the theoretical-methodological development of the territorial assessment and mapping of heat risk for the population of an urban area.

contrasting climate change / widespread training / resilience

Empowering Climate Resilience - Erasmus+ Project

Current status: concluded

Funding programme: ERASMUS+

Project budget: € 30.000

Website: https://www.erasmus-care.eu/_wp/

The CARE project, funded by the ERASMUS + program of the European Commission, promoted the enhancement of the interdisciplinary skills of the staff and students of Latin American universities through the development of innovative educational approaches to planning. To respond adequately to the request for integrating climate resilience into policies at different levels, thinking on resilience requires the interaction between different disciplines (spatial planning, environment, engineering, landscape), collaboration with research and the involvement of public administrators and professionals. For this reason, CARE turned to professionals and administrations by providing flexible and open e-training modules and a solid conceptual and application foundation on resilience.
