It provides an overview of the most relevant climate change impacts and related adaptation strategies, aligning with sustainable development goals. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are some of the most significant adaptation strategies, yet the book addresses the lack of quantitative approaches for their design. A design approach and related methodology that can be used by designers with different levels of complexity is presented, discussing its applicability and limitations according to selected key performance indicators and related thresholds. Such methodology and the related tools are applied to case studies with a focus on the performance of NBS in improving thermal comfort (microclimate regulation) and reducing flooding risks (stormwater retention). A final workflow for a coupled performance-driven design approach is presented for readers, offering a pathway to define design strategies based on site-specific key performance indicators. The target audience includes practitioners, urban designers and planners, researchers, and anyone interested in urban environment design, nature-based solutions, and computational approaches to sustainable design. 410 0$aDigital Innovations in Architecture, Engineering and Construction,$x2731-7277 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aSustainability 606 $aClimatology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aSustainability 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aUrban Economics 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 14$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 676 $a720.47 676 $a696 700 $aPerini$b Katia$0913062 701 $aMosca$b Francesca$0536756 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911010526203321 996 $aNature-Based Cities$94397600 997 $aUNINA
