On the outskirts of Rome, an EU-funded regeneration project is seeking to improve the lot of 4,500 people living in a 1970s housing development, betting that protection from climate change and social inclusion can go hand in hand as rising temperatures put pressure on urban communities.

An ambitious social housing experiment, the 1km-long Corviale site has long been associated with neglect and decay. With Italy's post-pandemic recovery plan now approaching completion, the district, nicknamed "Il Serpentone" (The Big Snake) for its sprawling Brutalist design, has become a test case for climate adaptation in vulnerable city areas.
