Abstract
The uRban hEat and pollution iSlands inTerAction in Rome and possible miTigation strategies (RESTART) Investigate the mutual interaction between Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Urban Pollution Island (UPI), offering a series of tailored nature based solutions (NBS) and UHI/UPI mitigation strategies, and ready to use guidelines for improving wellbeing in urban environments. 1. Identification of the meteorological processes responsible for UHI, also affecting UPI in Rome exploring the interlinkage between UHI and UPI 2. Evaluation of the mitigation actions affecting city scale ventilation, heat transport, and air pollutant removal 3. Formalization of general recommendations and guidelines for policymakers to guarantee the correct implementation of NBS and urban mitigation strategies.
