Climate Risk and Urban Resilience: A Scientific Approach for Real Estate
Climate change is increasingly shaping the future of cities and the performance of real estate assets. Understanding how climate-related hazards—such as extreme heat, intense rainfall, and wind exposure—interact with the built environment is becoming essential for responsible urban development and long-term asset value preservation.
In collaboration with IUAV University of Venice, COIMA has developed a white paper on Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) applied to the urban context of Milan. The study introduces a structured methodology that combines climate data, urban morphology, and real estate analysis to identify potential vulnerabilities and support the integration of climate adaptation strategies across the real estate lifecycle.
The research illustrates how climate risk analysis can inform investment decisions, design strategies, and asset management practices, providing a practical framework to support the development of more resilient buildings and districts.
The approach presented represents a first step toward a replicable methodology for integrating climate risk considerations into real estate development and management.
