Why is it important?
Within urban geomorphological studies and their relation with geo-hydrological risk evaluation this research can support land management.
Perspectives
We believe that urban geomorphological mapping and studies can provide good insights into urban planning policies, contributing to a more comprehensive evaluation of geo-hydrological issues, affecting highly built environment in coastal-hilly contexts such as the case of Rapallo city, and supporting the identification and prioritization of risk-mitigation measures, today even more crucial due to the rainfall regime variations
