Scienza in Rete – Flood Risk: Estimating the Value of Cultural Heritage
There are three dimensions of risk: dangerousness, vulnerability and exposure. The first concerns purely physical aspects, the second concerns the ability of assets to suffer damage, the third is related to the value attributed. A recent study estimated the value attributed by citizens to places and monuments in Florence to improve flood risk management from the point of view of the exposure of cultural assets. Are churches or museums worth more? Unesco heritage sites or lesser-known sites? We discuss this with Fabio Castelli, full professor of Hydraulic and Maritime Construction and Hydrology at the University of Florence and member of the Return project.
