Abstract

This paper proposes a cause to reflect on adaptation to climate change at the urban level and the implications it may have on the environmental planning process of a city, in accord with principles endorsed in the papal Encyclical “Laudato si”. Because cities are both largely responsible for climate change and the major victims, it is evident that cities are also the places in which to test innovative climate-change adaptation technologies. In this sense, the implementation of urban-adaptation policies represents a challenge for urban planners and policy makers who question the autopoietic capacity of urban systems and are obliged to rediscover, review and incorporate new criteria and project categories.
