Abstract

This paper presents a joint research seminar held at the Politecnico di Milano on November 28th, 2023. M. Bradbury, who was in Milan for four months with a NEST fellowship, and C. Pallini collaborated on the seminar, with the contribution of A. Korolija, and E. Margione. The seminar was structured into two sections. The first explored case studies from New Zealand and the Netherlands, offering valuable insights into their climate change resilience strategies. The second section focused on Italy, particularly the Pontine Plain, facing numerous climate-related challenges. Some critical issues were identified during the seminar, such as integrating engineering and landscape design and evaluating alternative scenarios, which are pivotal in climate change resilience. The seminar also underscored the necessity of studying the effects of climate transition on towns, cities, and regions, which presents significant challenges to architectural and urban design across various scales.
