The rapid pace of technological advancement presents cities with emerging socio-economic and environmental challenges. Drastic climate change threatens the viability biologically comfortable environments, compelling urban areas to adapt new conditions. This adaptation necessitates implementation various strategies maintain population’s well-being, including mitigating effects, which are characterized by rising average temperatures prolonged droughts. Addressing critical issues such as water scarcity extreme temperatures—particularly in Mediterranean regions, where summer can reach 48–50 °C—requires substantial energy consumption, must be met through clean sources reduce carbon emissions. Decarbonization efforts accompanied restructuring green spaces, expansion peri-urban parks, large-scale reforestation enhance sequestration. These measures, combined adoption energy, would mitigate impact elevated CO2 concentrations. In areas, spaces should prioritize biodiversity use native, water-efficient species while avoiding non-native, potentially invasive plants. Furthermore, societal engagement is essential achieving these objectives, education system playing a pivotal role fostering awareness promoting collective action.
