Digital twin of Bologna's Portici launched to study climate adaptation

The digital model will help researchers understand the role of these iconic arches in mitigating urban heat islands.

The city of Bologna has initiated a digital twin project to study the impact of its Portici arches on urban climate adaptation. The digital model will be used to simulate various scenarios and analyze the arches' effect on temperature and air quality. This research aims to inform urban planning decisions and improve the livability of the city's historic center.
