The urban problem at the beginning of the second set of twenty years of the new century requires a complete rethinking of the way of aggregation of man who, today, represents a large part of the world population due to increasingly accelerated urbanization processes over time. The human being has become a citizen, and within the city limits, he tries to develop his life expectancy by seizing opportunities from this. This search for well-being, understood as a complete state of man, at once physiological and psychological and social, can be thwarted by an urban structure that is not functionally capable of providing answers. The climate problem exacerbates this problem by strongly stressing the contradictions of living. Science, technology, and politics are today able to give answers if applied wisely in a joint effort, in a unit of language. This book proposes several solutions that can be implemented today, ranging from a full understanding of phenomena to adaptation policies for solving problems. The most pressing invitation is addressed precisely to politics to make cities more resilient and safe. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aACCCRN 610 $acities 610 $aclimate change adaptation 610 $aClimate change adaptation 610 $aclimate change benefits 610 $aCML 610 $acriteria pollutants 610 $acrowdsourcing 610 $adata sources 610 $aearly warning system 610 $aecosystem services 610 $aemission inventory 610 $aEnvi-Met 610 $aflood risk maps 610 $afluidodynamic modeling 610 $agreen urban planning 610 $ahuman biometeorology 610 $ahybrid institutionalism 610 $ainnovation 610 $ainstitutionalising adaptation 610 $ainterdisciplinarity 610 $amainstreaming resilience 610 $aMexico City 610 $amicrowave links 610 $anature-based solutions 610 $aopen data 610 $apollution flow patterns 610 $arainfall estimates 610 $aresilient city 610 $asensible targets 610 $asystems change 610 $athermal comfort 610 $athermal sensitive design 610 $aurban climate 610 $aurban climate monitoring 610 $aurban green system 610 $aurban greening 610 $aurban heat island 610 $aurban resilience and adaptation 610 $aurban resilient development 610 $aurban surface energy balance 610 $aurbanization 610 $aUrbClim model 610 $avulnerability simulations 610 $awater bodies 610 $aweb-based platform 610 $awind circulation patterns 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aGeorgiadis$b Teodoro$4edt$0505667 702 $aCremonini$b Letizia$4edt 702 $aGeorgiadis$b Teodoro$4oth 702 $aCremonini$b Letizia$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557505303321 996 $aUrban Climate and Adaptation Tools$93038150 997 $aUNINA
