Cities Under Pressure: A Deep Dive into Urban Geology and Climate Impact

December 10, 2024

Showcasing the premiere of the Urban Geo-Climate Footprint documentary, Francesco La Vigna emphasised that "Cities are increasingly at the forefront of geological and climate challenges, making tools like the Urban Geo-Climate Footprint essential for building resilience and fostering collaboration."
