The determination of seismic risk in urban settlements has received increasing attention in the scientific community during the last decades since it allows to identify the most vulnerable portions of urban areas and therefore to plan appropriate strategies for seismic risk reduction. In order to accurately evaluate the seismic risk of urban settle...

The assessment of seismic risk in urban areas with high seismicity is certainly one of the most important problems that territorial managers have to face. A reliable evaluation of this risk is the basis for the design of both specific seismic improvement interventions and emergency management plans. Inappropriate seismic risk assessments may provid...

In many Mediterranean cities, there are densely built up settlements characterized by the lack of green spaces and the abundant use of impervious construction materials, so the phenomenon of heat stress is exacerbated and mitigation strategies are key to improve thermal conditions of pedestrians. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness...

The growing vulnerability of urban areas to dangerous events is due to numerous factors: the unpredictability of some significant climate changes, the complex dynamics of urban growth, and urban policies’ efficiency in providing adequate responses to the need to reduce risks.Scientific literature and international documents in sustainable developme...
