Gli eventi climatici spingono perciò a interrogarsi su come sia possibile intervenire sul fiume e sulle aree che esso attraversa in maniera sensibile alle minacce del rischio idraulico, e quindi con operazioni adattabili e flessibili, in grado di valorizzare le risorse senza costruire nuove situazioni di rischio, e su come si possa mettere a punto una gestione del territorio che includa, per questi luoghi, la possibilità di accogliere la presenza dell’acqua, contribuendo a risanare la frattura fra uomo e natura e a rinegoziare i confini della loro convivenza. Ci sono molti esempi, a livello internazionale, di progetti sul fiume concepiti considerando i rischi legati all’emergenza idraulica e diversi progettisti hanno elaborato soluzioni mirate al raggiungimento di questi obiettivi. La riflessione coinvolge in effetti non solo l’ambito della pianificazione ma anche quello del progetto urbano e d’architettura che deve necessariamente nutrirsi di una nuova consapevolezza rispetto ai temi del rischio, coniugando sicurezza idraulica e qualità urbana e paesaggistica.

Abstract
Climate-related events therefore compel us to ask how it is possible to intervene in rivers and the territories they traverse in ways that are sensitive to hydraulic risk. This implies adopting adaptable and flexible strategies capable of enhancing existing resources without generating new conditions of risk. At the same time, it requires the development of forms of land management that accept, for these places, the possibility of accommodating the presence of water. Such an approach can contribute to repairing the rift between human settlements and natural systems and to renegotiating the boundaries of their coexistence. At the international level, there are numerous examples of river projects conceived with hydraulic emergency risks in mind, and many designers have developed solutions aimed at addressing these challenges. Reflection on these issues therefore involves not only spatial planning but also urban design and architecture, disciplines that must increasingly be informed by a renewed awareness of risk, capable of combining hydraulic safety with urban and landscape quality.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
