This seminar will explore two italian experiences that will be discussed with partners of two European Projects, namely NetZeroCities and Climaborough.

The imperative for immediate and comprehensive action to address climate change is undeniable, particularly at the urban level. Within the framework of the European Union’s Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, municipalities are actively crafting action plans encompassing a spectrum of mitigation and adaptation measures leveraging on local specificities in spatial configuration, infrastructure, regulations, governance, and societal behaviors. Despite these concerted efforts, numerous hurdles impede cities from achieving easy and large success.

Organized by Elena Acerbi and Grazia Concilio

The seminar is organized in collaboration with the Designing Sustainable Cities course held by Grazia Concilio and Francesco Grillo for students of the Master Programme in Transformative Sustainability.
