ATLAS

To address the challenge of implementing sustainable policies to face climate change in Historic Cities, ATLAS employ interdisciplinary approaches and digital technologies for:

• modelling the scenarios of CC risks in Historic Cities,
• managing Immovable CH and GI and,
• 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:

• universities experts in CH diagnosis and risk assessment (UPO, UNIVE), GI (UNIVE), and
• digital technologies for modelling risk management (UGA, UPO);
• experts in CH Conservation (IVCR+i);
• hazard experts (Alpine Natural Hazards Center); and
• 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.
