Resilient and sustainable Permeable Pavements For urban Flood Mitigation
<p>Permeable pavements are more sustainable option towards climate change as they maintain the hydrological cycle. However, they suffer from problems such as lower strength and integrity. In this project, this issue is addressed in three main stages: a. development of high viscosity bitumen; b. evaluating different types of additives to be used in porous asphalt mixtures (surface course of permeable pavements); c. Development of a multi-criteria tool to implement the permeable pavement system using GIS software. </p>
Urban resilience to extreme natural events and climate change: from Brasil to Europe
<p>Originally published at this link: <a href="https://www.iai.it/en/eventi/urban-resilience-extreme-natural-events-and-climate-change-brasil-europe">Urban resilience to extreme natural events and climate change: from Brasil to Europe | IAI Istituto Affari Internazionali</a></p> <p>The workshop will discuss best practices and innovative methodologies for urban resilience building to extreme natural events and climate change. The focus will be on participatory processes and citizen engagement practices, looking in particular at their relevance for physically and socially vulnerable urban areas. The event is designed as a knowledge-sharing opportunity for cities and will include the participation of researchers and experts working on the field with municipalities.</p> <p>The project “Waterproofing Data: Engaging Stakeholders in Sustainable Flood Risk Governance for Urban Resilience” will be discussed as a successful case study, focusing on data co-production practices and the role of digital tools. The project has been implemented in several Brazilian cities to build resilience to flooding in vulnerable communities by engaging citizens in data generation processes critical to design effective early-warning systems and strategies to reduce the risk of flood-related events. Professor João Porto De Albuquerque (University of Glasgow, UK) and Professor Maria Alexandra Viegas da Cunha (Fundação Getulio Vargas, São Paolo, Brasil) will illustrate the results of Waterproofing Data project and its innovative methodology, discussing opportunities for its implementation in cities both in Brasil and Europe and application to a broad spectrum of extreme events, from flooding to heatwaves and drought.</p>
RESCCUE (RESilience to cope with Climate Change in Urban arEas) EU Project - WP1 Data
<p>These files contain the data generated for the Work Package 1 of the RESCCUE project. RESCCUE project was devised to analyse future urban impacts due to climate change so as to improve resilience of three target cities: Barcelona, Bristol and Lisbon. To achieve that, future climate projections and changes in extreme events were obtained at a local scale for the Work Package 1. Several past studies were analysed to identify all the climate variables and extreme events that could affect urban areas, e.g. heavy rainfall, heat waves and storm surge. All available meteorological observations in the considered areas were collected and filtered through several tests (general consistency, outliers and inhomogeneities) in order to handle datasets long enough and of good quality. As a way to obtain the best input possible, every valid station was extended in time by downscaling process with the ERA-Interim reanalysis.</p> <p>Future climate projections were obtained for ten different global climate models considering two of the main Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) established in the last IPCC report. These models were downscaled through a sophisticated statistical methods (analogous stratification and transfer functions among others) to project local climate according to the identified climate drivers: temperature, precipitation, wind, relative humidity, sea level pressure, potential evapotranspiration, snowfall, wave height and sea level; and for both climate and decadal timescales. Already downscaled models were first validated for the method and afterwards verified, obtaining small errors and good coherent simulations.</p> <p>Extreme events of the main climate drivers were obtained and analysed for both historical and future scenarios through the combination of several statistical methods as well as through the analysis of several teleconnectionpatterns. Derived events such as heat waves, drought, snowstorms, storm surges, wave height among others were afterwards inferred for climate, decadal and seasonal scale.</p> <p><strong>FILES</strong></p> <p>The data generated have been grouped into three different files, one for each studied area: the hydrological basin of the rivers Ter and Llobregat (the area that influences Barcelona), the geographical area between England and South Wales (the area that influences Bristol) and the Lisbon area.</p> <p>Each of the files contains a self-explanatory file detailing the structure of the information contained and the way in which it is provided.</p> <p><strong>ABOUT THE RESCCUE PROJECT</strong></p> <p>The RESCCUE project, Resilience to cope with Climate Change in Urban Areas, –a multisectorial approach focusing on water– aims to provide practical and innovative models and tools to end-users facing climate change challenges to build more resilient cities.</p> <p>The project provides tools to assess urban resilience from a multisectorial approach, for current and future climate scenarios and including multiple hazards. This holistic approach to urban resilience will enable city managers and urban systems operators to decide the optimal investments to cope with future situations.</p> <p>For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.resccue.eu/">www.resccue.eu</a></p>
The accelerating loss of resilience in suburban woodlands can largely be attributed to changes in urban precipitation patterns
<p><span>Vegetation resilience holds significant importance for stabilizing ecosystem service functions in a changing climate. While global land surface vegetation resilience changes have been extensively studied, the impact of urbanization on the resilience of suburban woodlands remains inadequately understood.</span> <span>In this study, we utilized two Critical Slowing Down (CSD) indicators, namely lag-one autocorrelation (LOA) and variance (VA), to assess the vegetation resilience, its long-term trends, and influencing factors in suburban woodlands across 1,356 cities worldwide. The recovery rates estimated by LOA (r<sub>r1</sub>) and VA (r<sub>r2</sub>) showed close alignment in suburban woodlands with low suburban forest coverage (SFC) areas (correlation coefficient (r)=0.95). However, a notable divergence was observed in areas with high SFC (r=0.73). Suburban woodlands with high SFC typically exhibited lower recovery rate estimates, thus indicating greater vegetation resilience compared to areas with lower SFC. From 1986 to 2022, the recovery rates of suburban woodland areas in over 83% of the cities demonstrated a significant upward trend, with an average of 3.23×10<sup>−3</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup> for both r<sub>r1</sub> and r<sub>r2</sub>, signifying a widespread decline in vegetation resilience. The accelerating pace of urbanization led to higher rising rates of r<sub>r1</sub> and r<sub>r2</sub> during 2010-2022 (5.11×10<sup>−3</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>) compared to 1986-1999 (0.49×10<sup>−3</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>). The notable decrease in resilience of forestland was primarily attributed to reduced precipitation in urban suburbs, which can be explained by urbanization-induced heat island and building barrier effects, causing a shift of precipitation center from urban suburbs to central cities. In summary, this study revealed that urbanization diminishes the vegetation resilience of urban suburban woodlands by altering urban precipitation patterns. These findings underscore the necessity of augmenting water availability in urban suburbs to restore resilience in these woodlands, thereby enhancing their ecosystem service value.</span></p>

Data from: Patterns and limitations of urban human mobility resilience under the influence of multiple types of natural disaster
Natural disasters pose serious threats to large urban areas, therefore understanding and predicting human movements is critical for evaluating a population's vulnerability and resilience and developing plans for disaster evacuation, response and relief. However, only limited research has been conducted into the effect of natural disasters on human mobility. This study examines how natural disasters influence human mobility patterns in urban populations using individuals' movement data collected from Twitter. We selected fifteen destructive cases across five types of natural disaster and analyzed the human movement data before, during, and after each event, comparing the perturbed and steady state movement data. The results suggest that the power-law can describe human mobility in most cases and that human mobility patterns observed in steady states are often correlated with those in perturbed states, highlighting their inherent resilience. However, the quantitative analysis shows that this resilience has its limits and can fail in more powerful natural disasters. The findings from this study will deepen our understanding of the interaction between urban dwellers and civil infrastructure, improve our ability to predict human movement patterns during natural disasters, and facilitate contingency planning by policymakers.

Sketch planning tool for sustainable and resilient urban goods distribution
<p>The urban goods distribution system is a critical component of modern society. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant vulnerabilities in this system, as it struggled to cope with an unforeseen surge in demand. This crisis highlighted the urgent necessity of developing a resilient and sustainable urban goods distribution system capable of efficiently recovering from high-severity disruptions. To address this challenge, our research team previously developed a novel analytical model, the Robustness, Redundancy, Resourcefulness, and Rapidity - Last-Mile Distribution - Resilience Triangle (R4-LMD-RT) framework. In line with the previous work, this work aims to create a sketch-planning tool tailored for local jurisdictions, based on the R4-LMD-RT model. This tool assists in the strategic planning of urban goods distribution systems, identifying land use requirements and proposing sustainable and resilient strategies, such as urban consolidation, micro-hubs, alternative delivery points, and zero-emission vehicles. As part of a case study, the authors validate the effectiveness of this planning tool by applying it to the city of Los Angeles for a COVID-19-like disruption. The outcome of this research paves the way for more sustainable and resilient urban goods distribution systems in the post-pandemic world.</p>
