The Cool City Project, first launched in Naples, is a research and practice that stems from an experimental attempt to cope with climate change, regenerate cities and protect biodiversity through the cooling effect of water. Cool City Lab is an interdisciplinary research and workshop conducted in Naples and Seoul. Its ambition is to develop and disseminate sustainable design by using perennial resources of underground water currently unused, abandoned, or mismanaged to mitigate the impact of the heat-island effect found in the densest urban communities where temperatures can be up to seven degrees higher than in the surrounding areas.
