Abstract

The recent pandemic has affected health and lifestyles, highlighting the vulnerability of cities and territories, such as the ecological-environmental and climatic crisis, as a result of the progressive urbanization-urban connections. The prevalence of CoViD-19 cases was recorded in highly connected urban contexts with poor air quality. The entire health emergency was governed in the absence of geographical-territorial references, generalizing limitations and actions to contain the spread of the Sars-Cov2 virus. In this framework, a methodological approach to policy for cities and territories is proposed, for multi-risk management (environment-health) and to formulate responses to change, as part of the completion of the reform of intermediate bodies in Italy also with reference to the National Plan Resistance and Resilience.

This study was supported by the research grant for the project “Investigating the relationships between knowledge-building and design and decision-making in spatial planning with geodesign” funded by Fondazione di Sardegna (2018).
