Abstract
The need to revisit traditional practices regarding the management of pluvial waters is widely established in literature. Some examples include climate change projections and the associated exacerbation of precipitation extremes and consequent urban flooding, the lack of landscape planning, or even acknowledging pluvial water as the ultimate resource for urban resilience.
Addressing this challenge, several cities have been maturing their relationship with water, namely through urban regeneration projects that explore water’s bountiful regenerative and ecological capacities. Yet the challenge is still considerable when facing the need to prioritize and decide on specific interventions within the consolidated city. This article aims to develop a method for identifying the Opportunity Areas (OA) through a particular case-study encompassing the Chelas underground drainage basin. These OA consist of priority areas for urban regeneration that would directly reduce urban runoff and diminish society’s vulnerability in the short and long-term.
