BOLOGNACittà resiliente e collaborativa

Project: BLUE AP (LIFE11 ENV/IT/119)

Coordinator: Comune di Bologna

Partners: Kyoto Club, Ambiente Italia, ARPA Emilia Romagna

Project duration: 36 months (01/10/2012-30/09/2015)

Main objectives: the Bologna. adaptation plan for climate change Budget: 1million Euro

The path of participation falls under the category of “collaboration” in which the parties involved are also the implementersof the actions of the plan.

Stakeholder Engagement Process

The vision: Urban innovation planThe Urban innovation plan is the strategy toward 2020 promoted by the Municipality ofBologna. It links different opportunities, instruments, resources, spaces and competences.Collaboration as a method!

The Bologna adaptation Plan

Vulnerability Strategy Pilot actions

Extreme events and hydrogeological risk

Improve the city hydrological response

Revision of planning instruments aiming to mitigate the impact of new settlements and to improve the hydrologic-response in the urban area

Sustainable rain management in new commercial establishment (via Larga)

Sustainable management of rain in a new POC urbanisation of state-owned areas

Other actions

Mtigation of “hydrological footprint” for new built up areas

Decrease of runoff in public areas

Minimize the expansion of sealed areas

Equip existing sealed areas with SUDS

Pilot actions

Financing investments on infrastructures

The Adaptation plan shows that together with the increase of intensity and frequency of risks that are already managed (heat waves, floods of major rivers), new risks are emerging.

Intense concentrated rains may cause localized flood events in small torrents passing through the city.

These events are difficult to be predicted and the time between the event (intense rain) and the flood is of some minutes (while in bigger rivers this time is of several hours).

This means that an improvement of existing structures for weather forecast and civil protection alert is not sufficient. The development of innovative solutions is necessary.
