The Report, led by COMMONSPACE and co-led by ULAB, presents the comprehensive mapping of urban heat vulnerability in Turin and Halandri, by combining socio-economic aspects with structural and environmental features of the urban context related to climate. This Report is a key milestone within MAINCODE Work Package 3 and it aims to identify highly heat-sensitive areas within the two cities that serve as the priority zones for climate adaptation interventions and, specifically, for the development of Urban Climate Shelters (UCS). By integrating social, spatial, environmental, and climatic data, the vulnerability mapping provides evidence-based guidance for selecting the schools of UCS co-design and pilot implementation.
MAINCODE has been funded by the Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca (MUR), the Innovation Fund of Denmark (IFD), and General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) under the Driving Urban Transitions Partnership which has been co-funded by the European Commission. MAINCODE runs from 2025 to 2027
