Short Biography

Francesca Dal Cin (Conegliano, Italy, 1990), graduated in Architectural Science with Urban Planning specialization from the Architecture University of Venice, IUAV, in 2017. Later, in 2017, she develops a PhD in Urban Planning at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Lisbon (Portugal), with the thesis “Streets by the sea. Typo-morphology of Portuguese Atlantic waterfronts facing sea level rise”, supported since 2018 by a research fellowship from the University of Lisbon. Since 2017, she is part of formaurbis LAB, a research team that develops several research projects related to urban forms. She participates in national and international seminars and regularly publishes articles on the theme of Urban Morphology and Water. Her research area is the definition of architectural and urban rules for the adaptation of the waterfront, its connections between the floating building and the consolidated city, in a climate change scenarios.

Future sea-level rises on the urban waterfront of coastal and riverbanks cities will not be uniform. The impact of floods is exacerbated by population density in nearshore urban areas, and combined with land conversion and urbanization, the vulnerability of coastal towns and public spaces in particular is significantly increased. The empirical analysis of a selected number of waterfront projects, namely the winners of the Mies Van Der Rohe Prize, highlighted the different morphological characteristics of public spaces, in relation to the approximation to the water body: near the shoreline, in and on water. The critical reading of selected architectures related to water is open to multiple insights, allowing to shift the design attention from the building to the public space on the waterfronts. The survey makes it possible to delineate contemporary features and lay the framework for urban development in coastal or riverside areas.

The impact of sea-level rise on coastal towns is expected to be a major challenge, with millions of people exposed. The climate-induced risk assessment of coastal areas subject to flooding plays an essential role in planning effective measures for adaptation plans. However, in European legislation, as well as in the regional plans adopted by the member states, there is no clear reference to urban settlement, as this concept is variable and difficult to categorise from the policy perspective. This lack of knowledge makes it complicated to implement efficient adaptation plans. This research examines the presence of the issue in Portugal’s coastal settlements, the European coastal area most vulnerable to rising sea levels, using the case of seashore streets as the most exposed waterfront public urban areas. Using the morphometric classification of the urban fabric, we analyse the relationship between urban typology and legislative macro-areas aimed at providing integrated adaptation plans. The study suggests that there is only a minimal relationship between the proposed classification and the geographical zones currently identified in coastal planning policies. Such incongruence suggests the need for change, as the policy should be able to provide a response plan tailored to the specificities of urban areas.
