Multi-scale investiGation of natuRe-basEd solutions for thE mitigatioN of urban heat and POLlution ISland (GREEN-POLIS)

PRIN 2022 Cintolesi

Abstract

The overall objective of GREEN-POLIS is to provide scientific evidence of the impacts of different NBSs on the urban microclimate with the aim to establish a solid scientific basis for the use of NBSs in adaptation and mitigation strategies for the urban heat island (UHI) and urban pollution island (UPI). A. Assessment of currently-available NBSs to mitigate UHI and UPI. Expected results: B. Evaluation of the beneficial effects and unintended consequences of urban NBSs. C. Upscaling of selected NBSs to the real case of Bologna.
