SOS Climate Waterfront is an interdisciplinary project that aims to explore waterfronts in Europe that are facing climate change. The project collects different disciplines to create new strategies for sustainable solutions for infrastructure and urban planning in Europe.
Sea level rise, high tides, storms and floods enhance the vulnerability of urban waterfront territories. S.O.S. Sustainable Open Solutions for European urban waterfronts is a project that brings together not only professionals, but also municipalities, stakeholders and citizens in pursuit of adaptation and contribution in combating climate change. The main purpose of the project is the use of common knowledge to build a sustainable environment for all who care about the waterfront urban planning and the future of the whole planet.
Alpha Consult has contributed to the project since 2019 and organized together with the Interdipartimental Center FOCUS Sapienza two Design Workshops held in Rome in 2022 and 2023. The publication dedicated to the 2022 Workshop is now available under the title Dialectic of the Waterfront: Rome and its Region facing the impacts of climate change.
The Project's results are now exposed at Lisbon Urban Information Center (CIUL) until 28th of September 2023. Click here to download the poster of the exhibition.
