"Our proposal focuses on the vulnerability of the Llobregat delta based on the analyses of 3 risks of climate change (sea level rise, rainfall floodings and heat island effect), also repairing the several deficiencies as for ecology, connectivity and site specificity. This approach will create new synergies between social and ecological patterns restoring the link between city and territory."
