Urban Resilience and Risk Assessment: How Urban Layout Affects Flood Risk in the City
Urban areas are exposed to many risks from natural sources. Even if these circumstances occur entirely depending on natural events, correspondent consequences and damages that could derive are also connected to anthropic factors. Urban structure, due to its aptitude to influence how people "use" the city, drives human risk exposure in built environment. Working on the city related network to account for it is gaining momentum, leading the quest for a renewed modeling approach to the city. Therefore, it will be proposed a particular network based approach to analyze risk scenarios, appealing to the concept of urban resilience as a net property. Even though it holds in urban contexts independently from the type of calamitous event that can occur, it will be deepened with particular reference to urban flood risk.
