It describes developments in renewable energy, green infrastructure and awareness-raising to address these challenges. It outlines the main directions for regulatory urban development and operational urban development to mitigate urbanisation problems related to the causes and consequences of global warming, in the light of the strategic documents that underpin the municipality's climate change policy. In the field of operational urban development, it indicates municipal efforts to improve energy, transport, parking, green spaces, water management and the rehabilitation of brownfield sites. It calls for complex urban development operations to be carried out in a planned way, using an integrated approach. The study highlights the importance of complex urban development action plans that allow for the concerted implementation of different interventions in order to achieve effective urban climate policies and economically balanced, sustainable and transparent urban development.
