Summary
A groundbreaking geomorphological map of Rome's historic center, the Urbs, reveals unprecedented details about urban landforms shaped by natural and human processes over millennia. This 1:5000 scale survey, four times more detailed than its predecessor, introduces innovative cartographic techniques to better represent complex landforms in dense urban environments. The findings highlight the significant potential of such maps as complementary tools for assessing natural hazards and risks, offering valuable insights for urban planning and conservation efforts.
