Francesca Peroni has an interdisciplinary background, as result from the Master Degree in architecture (IUAV, Venice), the Advanced Master in GIScience and UAV (University of Padua) and the PhD in Human Geography (University of Padua), achieved in 2022. She mainly worked on topic related to cities, with a focus on urban sustainability and spatial planning, by adopting a geographical approach.
RESTART, her MSCA project, aims to re-address the discussion by focusing on the issue of justice to face climate change in cities, by integrating the three dimensions of climate justice (procedural, distributional, recognitional) and designing an operational framework for the adoption of a model for just and inclusive adaptation plans. The project will focus on two paradigmatic case studies for climate extremes (heatwaves), Padua (Italy) and Tempe (US). RESTART will contribute to a replicable standardized methodology that facilitates holistic analysis of (in)equity and (in)justice to be incorporated in European and international adaptation strategies and plans.
The project will be developed at the Arizona State University (US), with prof. Sara Meerow, at the University of Padova (IT), with prof. Massimo De Marchi, and a period of secondment at Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (SP), with prof. Isabelle Anguelovski.
