Improved Resilience and Sustainable Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage Areas to cope with Climate

Julia Nerantzia Tzortzi (Principal Investigator), Carlo Andrea Castiglioni, R. M. Cristina Musacchio, Maria Stella Lux

Museums, historical buildings, and archaeological sites are indisputably affected by climate change. It is important to evaluate all possible environmental threats to prepare preventive actions. YADES project aims to train a network of fellows on how to preserve and boost resilience of cultural heritage areas and historic cities against climate change and associated hazards. The fellows are trained to develop and introduce a detailed map with visualisations to monitor the whole system of hazards from atmospheric and other damage functions to historic buildings and areas. The data from the monitoring platform will be analysed by a simulation system and provided to local authorities, enabling necessary mitigation actions.

  • DABC Activities

    POLIMI-DABC's role is to extract supplementary data relating to open public spaces, parks, and green spaces and to produce a network of green infrastructure within urban areas of cultural value, proposing indicators relating to Nature-Based Solutions and improving the socioeconomic resilience of the contexts of intervention. POLIMI-DABC is responsible for spatial analysis and vulnerability models using green approaches and for developing NBS solutions “modeled” on historic centers, based on green urban models.
