Hybrid infrastructure for urban sustainability
Climate change, urbanization, and demographic transition impose new challenges for urban infrastructure and planning, requiring new solutions for the urban infrastructure landscape, including nature-based solutions and decentralized and localized hybrid infrastructure. Transforming our urban environment for a more sustainable one must be a priority to accommodate ageing population and protect human health, provide adequate services, and prevent damages from growing calamities (heat waves and wildfires, floods).
