Adapting Cities to Climate Changes


Networks of smart and safe hubs

Adapting Cities to Climate Changes


Networks of smart and safe hubs
A network, to engage in the cities, of smart and safe hubs designed for the natural calamities
File under

The architecture evolves slowly adapting to climate, political and cultural changes. In the last decades the architecture has begun to confront with the energy topics; in the next it will must mainly confronted with the climate changes. It's utopic to think we can totally adapt the cities without distinctions. We need of new criteria, which we don't know perfectly yet because they are fixed by nature. It isn't important to create utopian visions but begin to insert in our cities, with a logic of urban acupuncture, a network of smart and safe hubs (architectures that rise from the ground thanks pistons and sensors capable of detecting the water level, structures able to withstand the stresses of hurricanes and ensure water, food, electricity and satisfy the others primary needs) designed in function to the natural phenomena (floods, heat waves, hurricanes, etc..). This strategy will allows to have time for a gradual and slow overall adaptation.
