Erasmus+CliCCHE ( Climate Change, Cities, Communities and Equity in Health)- R2 Report: Healthy urban planning Teaching Methodological Guidelines

CliCCHE Result n°2 is a guideline to support students in building design choices at the urban scale by putting the health of citizens at the centre. Students will learn how to understand and evaluate the importance of planning, and urban design in mitigating the effects of climate change conditions on health (thermal stress, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, food insecurity, but also increased mortality due to the spread of viruses, to the effects of natural catastrophic events, etc.). These guidelines will also allow students to use the most appropriate design tools, based on geographical information systems (GIS) and 3D modelling, that will enable them to design urban spaces better and to explain their projects to citizens and possible future customers. These methodological guidelines will contain all the information for the construction of: - Climate and Health Profile (CHP) Model, based on a health questionnaire submitted to citizens, to identify the health risks in the urban environment today and in the future; - Future climate projections: Climate scenario "0"; "Future Scenarios" A diagnostic model for the meteorological and climatic characterization of an urban area, starting from its urban and material characteristics. Evaluation of the conditions of thermo-hygrometric comfort perceived by citizens through a series of appropriately developed parameters and indicators, concerning the Factual State "Scenario 0" and to the evolution at 20/30/50 years ("Future climatic scenarios"). - Urban Project scenarios Planning and managing the urban regeneration project with the support of most convenient and understandable design representation models (i.e. Building Information Modelling; Virtual and Augmented Reality, etc.) in order to illustrate spatial planning alternatives to the public.
