Saferplaces - AI based Coastal Flood Risk Intelligence for Resilient Cities by GECOSistema

SaferPlaces is a digital twin–based platform that assesses and mitigates climate risks in urban and coastal areas, focusing on flooding, sea-level rise, erosion, and extreme marine events. It integrates climate, geospatial, and satellite data with hydrological models to support resilient planning and regeneration of infrastructures, including tourism facilities. Customized for Italian coastal pilots, it will map vulnerable infrastructures, simulate scenarios to 2050/2100, and guide decision-making with stakeholder engagement tools.

Objectives: enable sustainable coastal regeneration, provide decision support for climate adaptation, and foster participatory governance.

Expected impacts: reduced risk to infrastructures and economic activities, stronger resilience of coastal communities and tourism, integrated planning for regeneration, increased stakeholder awareness, and replicable models at national scale. SaferPlaces, as lead SME, will coordinate public authorities, research centers, technical agencies, and local stakeholders to deliver an integrated approach to coastal resilience.
