Embracing uncertainty: climate challenges in historic urban landscapes
Embracing Uncertainty: Climate Challenges in Historic Urban Landscapes is conceived as an international seminar aimed at fostering dialogue across research, institutional practice, and policy-making on the evolving relationship between cultural heritage and climate adaptation.
Promoted within the framework of the AGREE project, the seminar brings together an international range of contributors—including researchers, public authorities, heritage professionals, and civic actors—to reflect on how historic urban landscapes are increasingly shaped by conditions of uncertainty linked to climate change. Rather than presenting consolidated outcomes, the event is structured as an open platform for exchange, where different perspectives, scales, and operational contexts can meaningfully intersect.
Structured across sessions that move between applied experiences and research perspectives, the programme explores climate adaptation through multiple lenses: from local governance and international cultural programmes to conservation practices and community engagement. These are complemented by contributions addressing spatial analysis, design strategies, and landscape-based approaches to risk, ultimately opening up new ways of interpreting heritage as an active component within adaptive and resilient urban systems.
