Bottom-up approach towards urban green transition: the role of citizens
Cities are key contributors to climate change being responsible of the great majority of Green House Gas emissions, energy consumptions, and waste production at global scale. At the same time, urban environmental quality is significantly affected by climate change effects, such as the increasing occurrences of extreme weather events, which compromise the life quality of cities inhabitants. Nevertheless, cities are also economic and innovation hubs and have the potential of leading the necessary green transition. Cities are the places par excellence where to implement effective mitigation and adaptation strategies giving the chance to achieve the targets posed by international agreements on climate and to enhance citizens well-being. The high heterogeneity of the urban environment, its physical structure and socio-economic patterns, require the implementation of interventions at multiple scales capable of addressing site-specific environmental issues. Fine spatial resolution is needed in the urban environmental analysis and citizens engagement is a key component for implementing an efficient transition. In this view, recent advances in sensor technology and data communication capability allow to conceive the active participation of citizens in the urban environmental monitoring process, moving the analysis to a human-centred approach for applying targeted actions. Therefore, citizens become vectors of data and target of data-processing that could be used also for boosting the behavioural change of individuals that is required to speed up the process for the transition of cities towards a sustainable future.
Short bio:
Ilaria Pigliautile, Ph.D., is a post-doc research fellow of Building Physic at the Engineering Department of the University of Perugia (Italy). She is passionate about the existing mutual relationship in between people and the built environment, at different scales: from deepening indoor comfort theories and occupants’ behaviour affections, up to urban morphology and metabolism impact on the environment and citizens well-being. Graduated cum laude in Building Engineering and Architecture at University of Perugia in 2015. PhD in Energy and Sustainable Development in 2020. Her interest on human nature is also depicted by her interest on performing arts and theatre being also directly involved in several laboratories since 2008.
