The growing awareness of the danger of extreme weather phenomena highlights the inadequacy of current cities and the increase in their level of vulnerability concerning the impacts resulting from climate change. The theme of design to combat climate impacts requires the development of knowledge and process models capable of managing the complexity of the information necessary to direct a climate-proof transformation of the urban systems. The research made it possible to develop a methodology based on the exchange of data between GIS-based ICT tools and for parametric design, to analyze the microclimatic and performance behavior of recurrent types of urban open spaces in Italian cities, characterized by different climatic conditions, through generic urban patterns, homogeneous in terms of building density and morphology. The goal achieved was to define the critical aspects of urban open spaces with the performance offered in response to the phenomenon of heatwaves, to verify and measure the performance effectiveness of climate-proof intervention categories, to transfer these results in the form of database, hazard maps, and potential levels of adaptation, and to define guidelines for the climate-oriented project. The transfer of the project data took place through a decision support webGIS platform (SDSS).

The housing need forecast that has to be adopted in local housing policy and land use zoning is today the subject of significant disputes that intersect urban planning and sociological, demographic and geographical aspects. The main contrast is between those who propose a limiting approach based on the need to guarantee the sustainability of urban settlements and those who, conversely, believe that this policy is the cause of significant gentrification, especially in areas where tourist pressure is added to the housing one. A more coherent approach provides for the definition of the territorial carrying capacity on the basis of an adequate number of convenience indicators whose number and characteristics depend on both objectives set and context in which it operates. The thesis of a Research Project carried out at the Department of Architecture of the Federico II University of Naples is that this approach, applied to degraded Mediterranean metropolitan suburbs, allows substantial improvements in the ecological and social qualities of urban settlements, transforming the anthropic pressure from detractor into driver for increasing urban sustainability. This paper illustrates the results of the Research Project achieved with the application of the carrying capacity approach in the town plan project of a medium-small municipality in the metropolitan suburbs of Naples.

The quantitative limitation policies, adopted for environmental, ecological and socio-economic aims, in the Mediterranean metropolitan areas, do not seem to have had the desired effect. In fact, the coercive restraining approach of the metropolitan public Authorities which have tried to impose ecological and cultural objectives collide with the expectations and concrete needs of the citizen. In this way, there is among the stakeholders the distorted perception for which the public and the private interests seem naturally contrasting elements such that the protection of one must necessarily result in the mortification of the other. On the contrary, the Mediterranean Water Sensitive Urban Planning research Project has assessed the hypothesis that the key to the effectiveness of the strategies aimed at ecology, safety and environment, both because of the evident multiscalarity and the potential multi-functionality of the issues and solutions, is in the ability to make the necessary actions consistent with the legitimate aspirations of the various stakeholders, especially when the low available financial resources impose stringent limits on public spending.

The social and economical development from the exploitation of local resources is a newly objective pursued in the European Union cohesion policy, of which some early example can be found in the 2007-2013 programs. In the metropolitan area of Naples this strategy has been consolidated in the “PIU Europa” and Jessica programs where the polycentric framework chosen by the regional territorial planning has meant that the so-called medium-sized cities emerge from their peripheral condition, to be considered poles supporting local and regional development and competitiveness. This article is an account of research on this subject carried out at the University of Naples thanks to a cooperation agreement with the municipality of Castellammare di Stabia aimed at supporting local community in the program PIU Europa especially for the regeneration of the city waterfront.
