Towards Adaptation Governance. Participative processes and research in urban planning and policy development

The COMmon Measurements ONsite in the AlpIne Region (COMMONAIR) project is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Alpine Space programme.

COMMONAIR is a citizen science project coordinated by Politecnico di Torino which brings together four cities, Turin, Grenoble, Vienna and Zurich, and three universities, Politecnico di Torino, TU Vienna and ZHAW Winterthur, with the objective of promoting urban policies and projects for climate change adaptation, facing the heatwaves and improving air quality.

On Monday, February 10, starting at 14:00 at Salone d’Onore in Castello del Valentino we will talk about the participation and projects for the ecological transition of the cities with the experts and partners of the projects that will take place during 2025 and 2026.
