Abstract
The effect of climate change on the Mediterranean landscape requires environmental restoration projects based on interdisciplinary research methods that consider the integration of different evolving aspects mainly in urban contexts where the increase of severe rainfalls is significantly impacting citizen behaviour. Starting from a case study of Strada Statale 7 bis in South Italy (a boundary between four municipalities: Melito di Napoli, Sant'Antimo, Giugliano in Campania, and Aversa) in which flooding, since last twenty years, exposed the road system fragility, composed by a main road and its sidewalks to allow normal citizen activities. A multidisciplinary research group proposed an innovative re-design of the street aiming to improve the quality of life during stormwater. This work explores the possibility of importing best practices from North America to Southern Italy and integrating them into the hydrological approaches suggested by Italian law for risk mitigation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
