Clustering urban areas by a geological point of view: The Urban Geo Footprint tool 

Abstract: <p>The Urban Geo Footprint (UGF) is a project currently developed in the framework of the EuroGeoSurvey Urban Geology Expert Group (UGEG) and specifically focused on the geo-environmental pressures in urban areas.</p><p>The main goal of the study is to set up a classification tool (UGF) aimed to identify the main geological features that could influence and/or interfer with (ongoing) anthropic activities within urban catchments.</p><p>The fo… Show more

“…Rather than national-scale-applied geology data products, we should instead be developing national-scale maps with nested urban-scale mapping. The use of geological domains and urban typologies, such as those defined in the Urban Geo-Footprint tool [68] or in the groundwater-city typologies proposed by La Vigna [8], goes some way to addressing this challenge and strengthens the possibility of city-to-city exchanges of best practices and solutions. Despite adopting localised approaches for urban challenges, the importance of national-scale foundational data management should not be forgotten, e.g., data standards, data security, and the use of authoritative datasets like the ones stored in (national) key registries and in the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) at a pan-European level [66,69].…”

“…Using this style of approach, it is possible to assess the extent to which the 'catchment' can support the urban natural resource needs without causing environmental degradation; to mitigate the multiple and interacting geo-environmental pressures impacting communities; to identify opportunities for nature-based solutions to underpin (urban) resilience and sustainability. In this context, the ongoing Urban Geo-Climate Footprint (UGF) project [68] was born to provide a geological classification of cities and quantify geological factors affecting the urban catchment. The Urban Geo-Climate Footprint provides a score index, which represents the geological complexity of the urban catchment [68].…”
