Integrating UAV Infrastructures in Urban and Rural Landscapes: A Framework for Sustainable and Inclusive Development

The presented work aims to establish the optimal positioning of infrastructures such as vertiports and air corridors to improve connection with remote areas, thus regenerating neglected regions without pollutant emissions CO2 emissions, hence reducing regional disparities in an environmental-friendly way. We considered the case of the Emilia Romagna region because of data availability, especially related to weather. After describing the proposed method, we illustrate a use case to show the benefits in terms of equality, climate change impact, and traffic congestion
