Microclimatic and Environmental Improvement in a Mediterranean City through the Regeneration of an Area with Nature-Based Solutions: A Case Study

Dense urban areas are facing relevant issues related to their high vulnerability the impacts of climate change and ecosystem health. The study presents a case regeneration project with Nature-based Solutions in city Genoa (Italy) and, more specifically, neighbourhood characterised by health well-being issues. performances three design scenarios for hotspot, including plant species selected systemic approach light pavements, analysed terms improved microclimate means ENVI-met software V4.4.5. results show different benefits on compared current state depending scenarios: A UTCI decrease from 4.1 °C 5.4 °C, reduction mean radiant temperature 12.3 17.3 relative humidity increase 3.8% 5.6%, progressive wind speed detected directly proportional way gradual greenery inside scenarios. In reverse, better air temperatures scenario less greening (?t = 1.8 °C). relies re-parametrisation characteristics database reach level accuracy.
