Pianificazione urbana e cambiamenti climatici: ruolo dell’e-planning nelle città europee

In Europe, climate change is assuming an increasingly decisive role within territorial planning and governance processes. Recent catastrophic events affecting urban contexts have forcefully brought climate change back to the centre of the international agenda, stimulating growing attention towards innovative tools for management, monitoring, and planning. These phenomena, characterized by high interconnectedness and complexity, require coordinated and multidimensional responses, articulated at both global and local scales, capable of integrating predictive capacities, public participation, and institutional adaptation. In this context, the centrality of integrated urban planning oriented towards resilience is strengthened, able to systematically address emerging challenges. In this sense, e-planning emerges as a crucial instrument for understanding and managing climate change-related risks at the urban scale. Through the literature review and analysis of significant case studies, with particular reference to the European context, this contribution aims to provide an interpretative framework on the evolution and main characteristics of currently available e-planning tools in relation to climate change. The aim is to investigate how such tools have evolved over time and to what extent they can effectively contribute to climate change governance and planning, with a perspective oriented towards the resilience and sustainability
