Il ruolo proattivo del patrimonio culturale nella sfida al cambiamento climatico

The city is one and manifold and its different facets have been told, measured and represented in various forms. Man with architecture has modified the environment by creating the landscape, where natural and artificial components are inseparable, are one in the other and live on mutual exchanges generating new systems that from time to time define the image of the perceived city. The contribution addresses this nature-artificial link from the perspective of the historical city and climate: old and new dialectics that have influenced and continue to influence the layout of cities and the ways of representing, measuring and perceiving them. The contribution investigates how historic cities transform and adapt to build the city of Agenda 2030. Focusing on three case studies, one Italian and two Spanish, the similarities and differences (geographical, climatic, historical, cultural, normative) will provide a synthesis and comparison of urban, environmental and heritage characteristics in terms of representation and vision of climate change adaptation for a 'Sustainable City'.
