Thanks to INSPIRING’s research activities, it was possible to develop guidelines on the topics addressed.
These documents aim to support stakeholders and technical experts in properly assessing urban flood risk and in selecting the most appropriate mitigation measures, tailored to the specific urban context under analysis.
