Marsia Marino is an architect and a Ph.D. Candidate in Urban Planning, Design and Architecture Technology at PDTA Department, Sapienza – University of Rome. She earned her master’s degree in Architecture at Sapienza – University of Rome in 2016, she also studied at Aalborg University (Aalborg, Denmark), and at Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Turkey where she has conducted studies on sustainable architecture and urban project and regarding the Integrated Design Process procedure (IDP). She has participated as a member of the research group in international and national projects on the relationsip between climate change and urban regeneration strategies with specific reference to the impact of sea level rise on coastal cities. She is author of scientific publications on the theme.
In recent years, the territorial impacts connected to sea level rise have prompted a reflection on the responsibilities of policy makers in transposing these issues into urban agendas. The need also emerged to both broaden and update the skills of urban planners and to improve territorial governance tools, with the aim of developing feasible regeneration and resilience strategies to face climate change. In this paper, a methodology for the production of Flood Risk Maps is presented, as applied to the Municipality of Ravenna, Italy, by only considering the static component of inundation hazard, i.e., the projected Mean Sea Level Rise, as a first step towards increased preparedness. The resulting Flood Risk Maps represent, in fact, an innovation with respect to the current cognitive framework that supports local urban planning, by providing information on a potential risk that has so far been overlooked. The method combines sea level rise projections under the pessimistic RCP8.5 scenario with georeferenced territorial data, aiming to identify the physical consistency of the urban-structure components which are potentially at risk. For successive time horizons (2030, 2050 and 2100), our results show the progressive impairment and potential degradation of extensive urban areas that are disregarded in the urban planning regulations currently in force. This preliminary evaluation phase is aimed at prompting and supporting the necessary updating of the planning tools and regulations adopted by the public bodies responsible for territorial governance, by identifying priority areas for intervention, and helping define mitigation and adaptation actions.
