Proyecto ATLAS: Studying symbiotic scenarios linking Heritage assets and green areas to prepare Historic Cities to face Climate Changes (PCI2024-153441) financiado por MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 y Cofinanciado por la Unión Europea.

Studying symbiotic scenarios linking Heritage assets and green areas to prepare Historic Cities to face Climate Changes.

Climate change (CC) is triggering dangerous temperature increases, floods, droughts and fires in historic cities and their environments that affect citizens and Cultural Heritage (CH) health. In this context, green infrastructure (GI) emerges as a sustainable solution to mitigate the impact of CC and enhance urban livability. However, without studying the symbiotic relationship between CC and CH, GI expansion could affect the preservation of Immovable CH. To address the challenge of implementing sustainable policies to face climate change in Historic Cities, ATLAS employ interdisciplinary approaches and digital technologies for: 1) modeling the scenarios of CC risks in Historic Cities, 2) managing Immovable CH and GI and, 3) predict potential impacts. ATLAS tools based on satellite imagery, Geographic Information Systems, opinion of citizen managers, and human behavior computational simulations, allow to assess CC risk and look for the best resilience solution. ATLAS municipalities managers Will enable to identify and evaluate risks, understand human behavior during emergencies, and minimize damage in Immovable CH caused by CC as pollution, urban heat islands, floods, and fires. ATLAS will conduct studies in five Historic Cities (Seville, Antequera, Valencia, Treviso, and Grenoble) in three European countries (Italy, Spain, and France) to validate these tools in various scenarios (Mediterranean, Mountain and Continental). ATLAS interdisciplinary team to design tools and ensure the functionality and usability, brings together: 1) universities experts in CH diagnosis and risk assessment (UPO, UNIVE), GI (UNIVE), and digital technologies for modelling risk management (UGA, UPO); 2) experts in CH Conservation (IVCR+i); 3) Hazard experts (Alpine Natural Hazards Center); and 4) municipalities of Treviso and Antequera. The beneficiaries of this project are citizens which municipalities integrates ATLAS tools into their training programs, management strategies, and CC contingency plans to improve the citizen and CH resilience.
