Abstract:
Urban systems and cities are complex ecosystems continuously challenged by a wide range of environmental, health, social and economic stressors. This paper will identify an ensemble of models, methods, tools, and a framework that gives a geographically and operationally diverse set of data and information to cities, when they need it, and the intelligence to anticipate potential stressors and inform decision-making, to help them learn and capitalize on emergent situations and implement new mobility measures. The paper will present an innovative framework that: a) Recognizes when an event may disrupt the existing urban equilibrium; b) Manages the short- term effects of the mobility disruption to maintain safety, innovation, and city operations; c) Examines and simulates potential scenarios for future growth while adhering to the EU sustainability and CO2 reduction targets; d) Proposes an optimal new path forward that optimizes the improvements in the urban mobility landscape, while ensuring public acceptance and rapid adoption. The implementation of the methodology will result in improved urban space utilization, elevated quality of life, and enhanced sustainability and resilience in long-term urban development plans. This research acknowledges the necessity for robust decision support tools in realizing Climate- neutral and Smart Cities, making the AntifragiCity Framework an essential instrument in urban resilience management
