Abstract
Despite numerous studies on urban resilience, few practical applications of spatial explicit and quantitative resilience indicators in green infrastructure planning are present in literature. This paper presents a methodological framework to assess the hydrological resilience of an urban context employing modelling approach. The proposed resilience index is then used to support the definition of nature-based and engineered solutions aimed to increase resilience to floods as well as to enhance the green infrastructure multi-functionality in a densely populated district of Bari. The paper aims then to contribute to the introduction of resilience assessment and sustainable storm water management in practice urban planning in a context of climate adaptation plans.
