Climate change evidence has been reported in the last decades, suggesting that the anthropogenic activities are accelerating these changes towards a warmer and more polluted environment. In this context, SLODs have been linked to climate change related disasters and have been stated to have a higher impact risk within dense built environment (BE). Therefore, the book presents a description of the most relevant SLODs, their significance, and confluence, the way in which scientists and entities are monitoring their progression at different scales, a structured risk assessment strategy and the deconstruction of the BE characteristics that make it more prone to SLODs risk. In addition, it highlights the necessity of adapting the traditional risk assessment methods, to account for different vulnerability types, including the morphology and materiality of the BE, and the BE users? characteristics. In fact, individual features influence users? responses and tolerance to environmental stressors, because of age, health, gender, habits, and behaviour, thus impacting the users? vulnerability. Exposure can then amplify these issues, since it defines the number of users that can be effectively affected by the SLOD. Starting from this perspective, the book first traces literature-based correlations between individual features, use behaviour, and individual response to the SLOD-altered open spaces. Then, a novel methodology, to quantify the variations of users? vulnerability and exposure, is offered, to support designers in quickly defining input scenarios for risk assessment and mitigation. Lastly, it demonstrates, through a case study, the SLOD risk assessment framework proposed and the evaluation of the efficacy of risk mitigation strategies. 410 0$aPoliMI SpringerBriefs,$x2282-2585 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aSustainability 606 $aGeography 606 $aClimatology 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aSustainability 606 $aRegional Geography 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aUrban Economics 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 14$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aRegional Geography. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 676 $a720.47 676 $a696 700 $aSalvalai$b Graziano$0755455 701 $aQuagliarini$b Enrico$0502478 701 $aBlanco Cadena$b Juan Diego$01726222 701 $aBernardini$b Gabriele$0872837 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838273403321 996 $aSlow Onset Disasters$94131968 997 $aUNINA
