Programme abstract
Soil sealing and the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events pose growing challenges for sewer systems and urban drainage. How can existing networks be better managed and cities be better equipped to cope with flooding?
The conference, organised by CSDU Centro Studi Idraulica Urbana, brings participants together to discuss strategies for more resilient infrastructure and considers urban drainage as part of climate adaptation policies.
Alongside conventional approaches, the conference will examine nature-based solutions and the integration of sewer networks, green and blue infrastructure, and digital innovation, also in light of EU Directive 2024/3019.
The presentations will address urban planning and hydrological response with Raffaele Albano and Ruggero Ermini, urban flood simulation with Giada Varra, and the importance of landscape architecture as a climate adaptation strategy with Giulia Annalinda Neglia. Finally, Marco Maglionico will focus on sustainable stormwater management.
