Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Green roofs and rain gardens at packhouses to reduce runoff in Emilia–Romagna

E3S Web of Conferences
Large fruit-and-vegetable packhouses in Emilia-Romagna present extensive impervious surfaces that accelerate stormwater runoff, elevate combined sewer loads, and concentrate first-flush pollutants. This article evaluates nature-based retrofits—extensive green roofs and ground-level rain gardens—designed for hydrologic source control at logistics sites.
