Eduardo Rojas Briales, a researcher at the ITACA Institute, is organising the technical workshops “Green Infrastructure and Territorial Resilience” on 26 and 27 November. The event will feature a series of presentations and round-table discussions focusing on European experiences in territorial resilience, flood risk management and recovery strategies for the Valencia metropolitan area following the floods of October 2024.
The initiative forms part of the activities of the TRESOR Chair (Adapted, Healthy, Resilient and Enhanced Territories), a joint initiative of the Generalitat Valenciana and the UPV, directed by ITACA researcher Eduardo Rojas Briales.
Two days of knowledge sharing and exchanging experiences
On Thursday 26 November, the event will bring together national and international experts, representatives of public administrations, universities, professional associations and local organisations at the ETSEAMN-UPV Assembly Hall. Participants will explore how green infrastructure and nature-based solutions can help prevent flooding and strengthen territorial resilience to extreme weather events.
On Friday 27 November, a technical field visit will take place in the metropolitan park area and at various locations along the lower reaches of the Poyo ravine. The visit will examine potential measures to improve flood management through green infrastructure and water storage and infiltration solutions.
