This research aims to assess the relevance and applicability of this Conceptual Framework on the particular municipal context of Lisbon. The paper starts by demonstrating the city\u2019s existing vulnerabilities and projected climate change scenarios, where it is possible to confirm that floods are indeed a recurrent phenomenon that will aggravate in the near and distant future. Subsequently, municipal endeavors up to the present time are analyzed with the purpose of assessing if the Conceptual Framework provides additional types of flood adaptation measures that may be considered. In a final stage, additional types of adaptation measures highlighted by the Conceptual Framework are assessed with regard to their application and infrastructural relevance. In light of the presented results, which confirm the infrastructural benefits of the additional measures proposed, new discussions emerge specifically regarding Lisbon\u2019s municipal flood adaptation management and its relation with public space design.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su9050816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,15]],"date-time":"2017-05-15T12:16:12Z","timestamp":1494850572000},"page":"816","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Urban Flood Adaptation through Public Space Retrofits: The Case of Lisbon (Portugal)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4608-3975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Matos Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Arquitetura, CIAUD, Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Design, Rua S\u00e1 Nogueira, P\u00f3lo Universit\u00e1rio do Alto da Ajuda, Lisbon 1349-063, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6069-7052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Pedro","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Arquitetura, CIAUD, Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Design, Rua S\u00e1 Nogueira, P\u00f3lo Universit\u00e1rio do Alto da Ajuda, Lisbon 1349-063, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Costa, J.P., Jo\u00e3o, F.D.S., Filipe, D.S., Luis, D., Clara, M., Maria, M.S., Diamantino, O., Andr\u00e9, N., S\u00f3nia, G., and Han, M.
