Abstract

In addressing the challenges posed by climate change becomes essential to promote, also the local level, a kind of planning able to consider mitigation and adaptation measures in an integrated way. How to design and plan considering, not only, the mitigation’s logic but also the adaptation? And how to do this in an efficient and integrated way? In particular, urban climate adaptation policy choices are more likely to be influenced by locally relevant environmental factors and conditions, and the perception of stakeholders and decision makers. To obtain such goals, the smart city’s paradigm shows itself as the best possible solution. The smart city, through the opportunities provided by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), promotes the participation of citizens in defining and implementing an integrated and sustainable urban policies, in order to improve the inhabitants’ quality of life. The problem of climate change is a social problem, and only by involving the population, and with their collaboration, it is possible to implement strategies for adaptation and mitigation. The new approach suggested for Public Administration (P.A.) moves away from the concept of possession, but instead it is near to the concept of sharing of resources and knowledge, cooperation; and introduce models of Governance based on participation and involvement of citizens. Therefore, to increase the urban resilience it is important, first of all, to build a framework of knowledge: innovative (for the detail of information), shared, and integrated. The Province of Venice, with the University Iuav of Venice and its PhD school, during the last years, has, before, coordinated and supported the Covenant of Mayors for drafting the SEAP, and then the Project Partner European Seap-Alps. This collaboration has produced: • an innovative method for analysing with the use of the techniques of Remote Sensing, oriented spatial information in order to produce valid identification and environmental vulnerability of the area to climate change; • an enlarged working group with some P.A. local pilot, in order to develop a shared guidelines, useful for planning future Climate Metropolitan City. • definition of strategies for use the ICT in order to share information and create a regional network for a Climate Plan on a metropolitan scale.
