Urban Floods Management: The Integrated Approach of the City of Rome (Italy)
Urban flash floods represent one of the most challenging issue for city councils among climate risks: as they are expected to become more and more frequent in the changing climate local scenarios, flash floods are one of the most alarming issue for urban citizens and the quality of their lifestyles; moreover, as urban runoff is closely linked to urban land uses and related soil sealing levels, urban flash floods prevention policies deeply concern the local capacity to tackle with environmental integrated strategies, addressing the institutional capability to put them actually into practice. In this framework the integrated approach developed by the City of Rome, in Italy, shows a positive case of those tools whose horizontal replicability, environmentally oriented and scientifically sounded basis are needed both to face specific floods risks and to deal with the territorial dimension of climate adaptation’s strategies.
