From the 21st century to the present(2021), a worldwide awareness that cities’ development must be based on projects for socio-economic growth and environmental protection is increasing. World governmental agencies and the European Union have suggested action strategies for the construction of «prototype cities» whose value must be founded on the inclusion and/or preservation of anthropic-natural elements and their effects on territories. In order to minimize the theoretical–practical gap between planning and project design with a view to sustainable development and the evaluation of their performance from economic, social and environmental points of view, the present contribution aims to outline a framework useful for systematizing the main scientific contributions concerning sustainability and the evaluation of urban transformation projects. The objective is pursued by analyzing bibliographic references with specific regard to the use of logical-operative methodologies used to rationalize the processes of interventions’ evaluation and selection. The task of examining the available literature is carried out with an investigation protocol of four sequential steps. From the implementation of the last one, the evidence expressing the heterogeneity of the examples in the literature is described. Accordingly, the theoretical-methodological framework for the project evaluation from an urban sustainability perspective is illustrated.

The sustainable development of cities, by focusing on abandoned or degraded areas, represent the key driver that is able to remedy to damages that are produced by uncontrolled urban growth. The aim of the work is to highlight usefulness of the Cost-Revenue Analysis (CRA) in decision-making process concerning the enhancement of a military complex located in the city of Rome (Italy). In particular, existence of conditions that allow the Public Administration (PA) to request private entrepreneur additional operations to those established by the law is intended to examine, ensuring financial convenience of both subjects involved. The results achieved demonstrate feasibility of initiative, but also existence of wide margins for financial convenience of private entrepreneur that allow the PA to request additional financial resources or the direct realization of the initiatives to be intended to public functions. Furthermore, the influence of combination of the intended uses on urban planning loads and financial budget of the initiative is tested by analyzing the variation of share of gross floor area that can be attributed to each intended use. The adoption of the CRA can be implemented by subjects involved in the early stage of redevelopment initiatives in order to provide the size of the amount of financial resources that are necessary.

The Public-Private Partnership is also used, at international level, to carry out interventions in urban variant on areas or buildings that, by enhancing the value of (private) real estate properties, guarantee an economic return for the local community through an extraordinary contribution of urbanization (ECU) paid to the Administration by the private entity. The Italian Regions and Municipalities that have regulated the ECU calculation adopt a procedure of transformation value that does not specify either the duration or the risk-related rate of return of the real estate operation, which are essential factors for its balanced quantification. The paper defines a procedure that integrates methodologies, diffused in practice and literature, with official datasets to determine objectively the ECU, also evaluating its sensitivity to the critical variables of the transformative process. The proposed procedure is easy to apply and adaptable to a wide range of interventions and to different phases of the public-private (re)negotiation. It is in line with the Italian case and it is consistent with the international evaluation standards (IVS), having a general validity in the estimation field.

The variables that influence the price formation mechanisms of urban real estate units concern both the socio-economic both the infrastructural and environmental system of the city. In literature, the links between real estate and territory are not widely investigated. This is especially with reference to the correlation levels between Real Estate Prices and the provision of urban greening. In this perspective, aim of the research is to examine functional relations between property prices, environmental factors, and socio-economic parameters. The applied methodology is based on statistical correlation analysis. This supports the construction of an innovative model for the estimation of the function that explains the dependence of property values on social and environmental factors that characterize the city. The elaborations concern data derived with the Tool i-Tree Landescape. Through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), these data are useful to obtain thematic maps illustrating the spatial distribution of Real Estate Prices, Tree Cover, and Per-Capita Income. The surveyed geographical units are the Census Blocks of Buffalo City in New York State (USA).

With reference to the urban redevelopment interventions carried out through the Public Private Partnership procedure, the present research aims at testing a model able to quickly evaluate the convenience of the parties involved (private investors and Public Administrations). The model has been applied to three urban transformation initiatives to be developed in the city of Bari (Southern Italy), in order to verify the financial feasibility of each investment. The experimentation on the three projects considered could allow i) the Public Administration to define a priority list of the three urban initiatives to be launched in the city of Bari, ii) the private investors to weigh the risk of the different alternatives, in order to identify the most appropriate investment.

According to the International Labor Organization accident at work and occupational diseases caused globally around 2.3 million deaths in 2014. The costs attributable to accidents at work and occupational diseases represent a loss of wealth amounting to 3.9% of global gross domestic product and 3.1% of that of all EU Member States. Accidents represent a significant social and business cost in all production processes, particularly in the construction sector, which in Europe and Italy has the highest rate of fatal accidents. Starting from an analysis of existing models used for the calculation of accident costs, this contribution proposes a methodology to evaluate the costs occurred both in case and in absence of accident, by some stakeholders (Worker, Enterprise, Society, State) with reference to the construction process, in four scenarios that can be foreshadowed in the mention context. The model developed could be applied in different sectors; in this first phase there are some examples of compilation of the tools and matrices of the methodology using input data from the construction sector in Italy.

It is recognized, in Europe and elsewhere, that there is a need to implement sustainable urban intervention policies based also on the recovery of existing public real estate assets. In Italy, the schools are a significant part of public property. At this time (2019), many buildings destined for teaching need to be redeveloped, both from a structural and plant engineering point of view, and with regard to the management of the spaces available for teaching and social activities. Although, there have been many attempts by the legislator to regulate the modus operandi in the school construction field, it is clear that there is a lack of a unique regulatory system in which the technical and functional-managerial aspects relating to the same school are considered together. On this basis, with this study a multi-criteria evaluation protocol to support intervention planning for the redevelopment of existing school buildings is proposed. The study defines an evaluation framework with which we can establish the design priorities to be carried out in accordance with the building features and community needs. The evaluation framework is tested on a renewal project regarding a school building located in the historic center of Rome (Italy).

In the world the cities development must take place through urban sustainable interventions. This aims at promoting city economic growth, protecting citizens health and safeguarding natural and environmental components. In this perspective, forestry initiatives, raise the environmental, social and cultural quality level, as well as the income capacity of territory urban portions in joint manner. These are multiple benefits, noted as eco-systemic services, which provide regulation, support and recreational activities for population. However, the urban interventions including, also and not only, forestry—definable as Ecosystem Integrated Forestry Projects (EIFP)—are less considered as one of the main action modalities to apply within urbanized areas. This is due to the complexity both to jointly evaluate eco-system services produced by EIFP, both to develop initiatives in urban areas and provide services considering not only specific dimensional standards, but also the multidimensional effects that single initiative generates within urban context of reference. Thus, an economic evaluation methodology is defined according to multi-criteria logic based on the system of functional relationships between objectives, targets and performance indicators. The proposed methodology helps to define logical-mathematical models able to answer different evaluation questions related to EIFP. The construction of such models can be made using Linear Programming algorithms as tools for expressing functional relations between elements characterizing the problem to be solved.

The technological components regarding building cladding are designed for ensuring thermo-hygrometric comfort conditions within habitable spaces and realising smart buildings. Often the solutions adopted are identified referring only to the characteristics of mechanical and energy materials without considering the ecological–environmental properties in an urban context. Thus, it is appropriate to choose technological components not only according to material type, but also ecological aspects pursued through presence and/or structured integration of natural elements. The technical-design forms based on “building–nature” integration allows, on one hand, the sustainable soil use with multiple benefits (ecosystem services) that natural systems produce, on the other hand, the identification of technological solutions sized referring environmental quality levels achieved through appropriate natural species use. In this way, it can be obtained lower buildings investment and maintenance costs, and greater energetic–environmental benefits. So, it is proposed an evaluation protocol for settlement transformation interventions structured considering environmental effects obtained with Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) into the project. According to ecological–environmental quality level achieved with NBSs, the technological component is sized according to preliminary design parameters (noise reduction and solar irradiation degree) obtained through NBSs. The total performance level of technological solutions is expressed using Economic–Environmental Indicators. The protocol is tested on social housing case in Anagnina district of Rome (Italy).

The extreme volatility that has characterized the real estate market in recent years constitutes an important issue for researchers and experts, stimulating the development and the test of evaluation models able to predict future trends and to monitor the consequences of scenario evolutions that are different from those initially expected. With reference to the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain), the methodology implemented in this paper has allowed to make explicit the functional relationships between the residential properties prices and the socio-economic variables selected by the model (number of loans, unemployment level, market rent). The analysis carried out is “dynamic”, i.e. it refers to a quarterly time series database covering a period of sixty-seven periods (1st quarter 2001-3rd quarter of 2017). The results obtained have shown the forecasted potentialities of the tool used, as support (i) for the investment decisions of private operators, (ii) for the fiscal decisions of central governments, (iii) for the selection of the most convenient urban transformation initiatives from local administrations.

Although the presence of an urban green areas seems to be an important factor in housing decisions, there are few empirical research on the incidence of different types of urban green spaces on housing prices. With reference to a study sample of apartments located in the Flaminio district of the city of Rome (Italy), an innovative data-driven technique has been implemented. In this way, it was possible to identify, among the main explanatory variables selected by the model as the most influential in real estate price formation phenomena, those relating to green areas and analyzing the marginal contribution of each of them on selling prices. The implemented methodology has allowed to obtain a model characterized by high statistical reliability, by a simplicity and high coherence in the empirical interpretation of the functional relationships between the influencing factors selected and the housing prices. The results clearly indicate that green space is not a homogeneous environmental amenity, rather it is a series of distinct elements that has a different impact on housing prices.

The second half of the 20th century was characterized by rapid growth of the urban population and lack of attention to environmental quality in the urbanizes territories. Thus, the development of many cities during that period took place through policies which, over time, resulted in a disaggregated landscape, both in morphological and functional terms. In some cases, these policies have caused the creation of land portions without a specific characterization, and the generation of urban voids that negatively affect the city’s development. To solve this problem, the public administration sectors of many countries are looking for new intervention strategies that are feasible from a social and economic point of view which are able to guarantee sustainable development. From this perspective, the execution of urban regeneration initiatives, including forestation, allows for the improvement of both environmental quality and citizens’ well-being, and promotes economic development. Considering the multiple effects that these initiatives can generate and the limited availability of public and private resources, it is appropriate to use multi-criteria decision support tools through which it is possible to evaluate the interventions’ complexity and best identify the city areas that lend themselves to be recovered and improved through the forestation. The aim of this work is to develop a support tool for public administrations aimed at identifying the optimal forestry projects’ location according to criteria that not only refer to financial type, but also their social, cultural, and environmental nature. Using Discrete Linear Programming algorithms, the model has been tested through a theoretical case study and reveals the advantages and limitations of the model, as well as future research prospects.

The infrastructures supporting air transport throughout the world in the civil sector are classified as primary-level (large numbers of passengers and goods on both commercial and charter long- and medium-haul flights) and secondary-level (few passengers and goods on general aviation private, short-haul flights). In parallel with primary-level air traffic general growth all over the world and in Italy, the popularity of “individual” nonscheduled general aviation traffic increased in many countries since 1990s. The latter aviation has proved to be a valid alternative to rail and road transport for short-medium distance journeys (100-500 km) for classes of business and tourist passengers. In keeping with the national and international airport system development scenarios, the paper illustrates the results of in-depth analyses aiming to construct an integrated GIS-based Multicriteria Decision Analysis evaluation methodology. It gears towards formulating strategies for the development and streamlining of some existing (51) Italian minor airports and for the right locations for the new hubs required to construct an efficient second-level air transport network (the “highway in the sky”). Different levels of evaluation verify the suitability of airport services and infrastructure (status quo) and the attractiveness of airport hubs given the territorial facilities found in their catchment areas.

Following the events of the still unfolding economic and financial crisis involving real estate, there has been a growing awareness of having to formulate proposals and scenarios (in real estate) that have the characteristics of socially responsible investments; therefore, in line with the papal Encyclical Laudato Si’, these proposals and scenarios must aim at growth based on a development that is “sustainable”, both environmentally and socially. Settlement production processes are starting to be carried out in the form of “Impact Investments”, responsible investments related to ethical finance. Based on these premises, this paper will: (i) briefly analyze the nature of an “Impact Investment” and what characterizes and sets it apart from “Traditional Investments”; (ii) then, based on the analyses made, it will be possible to identify the elements for formulating a procedure (of the multicriteria type) aimed at assessing an “Impact Investment” in real estate. Lastly, the procedure will be applied to a case study involving a social-housing initiative in the Municipality of Ladispoli (Rome).

Alongside the general growth of air traffic in Primary-level airports of each country, since the 1990s the popularity of “individual” (private), General Aviation, non-scheduled “point to point” flights all over the world and in Italy increased. They have proved to be a valid alternative to rail and road transport for short-medium-distance journeys (for different classes of business and tourist passengers). Taking into consideration the national and international airport system development scenarios, the paper illustrates the results of in- depth analyses carried out aiming to build up a full integrated GIS-based Multi-criteria Decision Analysis evaluation methodology. This is geared towards formulating strategies for the development and streamlining of the 51 existing Italian minor airport network and for the identification of the right locations for new hubs that could be required for the construction of an efficient second-level air transport network (the “Highway in the Sky”).

The urban green areas represent a strategic resource for the contemporary city sustainable development. In addition to aesthetic and recreational functions, their presence contributes to increase the environmental quality level by improving the microclimate, preserving the biodiversity and promoting the territory economic growth. However, the interventions execution designed to provide the built areas of the so-called urban forests is rarely indicated as a priority action in the urban spaces planning because often a different allocation of available resources is preferred. In this work, starting from the definition of a indicators set useful for expressing the not only financial, but also social, cultural and environmental components of value of the projects for urban forestry, the aim is to build a multi-criteria economic analysis protocol purposeful at predicting the correct funds distribution between initiatives for realization of urban forests at a district scale. The characterization of the model is carried out through the logical-mathematical tools of the Operational Research developed according to Continuous Linear Programming principles.

Real estate and land management are characterised by a complex, elaborate combination of technical, regulatory and governmental factors. In Europe, Public Administrators must address the complex decision-making problems that need to be resolved, while also acting in consideration of the expectations of the different stakeholders involved in settlement transformation. In complex situations (e.g., with different aspects to be considered and multilevel actors involved), decision-making processes are often used to solve multidisciplinary and multidimensional analyses, which support the choices of those who are making the decision. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are included among the examination and evaluation techniques considered useful by the European Community. Such analyses and techniques are performed using methods, which aim to reach a synthesis of the various forms of input data needed to define decision-making problems of a similar complexity. Thus, one or more of the conclusions reached allow for informed, well thought-out, strategic decisions. According to the technical literature on MCDA, numerous methods are applicable in different decision-making situations, however, advice for selecting the most appropriate for the specific field of application and problem have not been thoroughly investigated. In land and real estate management, numerous queries regarding evaluations often arise. In brief, the objective of this paper is to outline a procedure with which to select the method best suited to the specific queries of evaluation, which commonly arise while addressing decision-making problems. In particular issues of land and real estate management, representing the so-called “settlement sector”. The procedure will follow a theoretical-methodological approach by formulating a taxonomy of the endogenous and exogenous variables of the multi-criteria analysis methods.

In Europe, the operating context in which initiatives of settlement transformation are currently initiated is characterized by a complex, elaborate combination of technical, regulatory and governance-related factors. A similar set of considerations makes it necessary to address the complex decision-making problems to be resolved through multidisciplinary, comparative approaches designed to rationalize the process and treat the elements to be considered in systematic fashion with respect to the range of alternatives available as solutions. Within a context defined in this manner, decision-making processes must often be used to obtain multidisciplinary and multidimensional analyses to support the choices made by the decision-makers. Such analyses are carried out using multi-criteria tools designed to arrive at syntheses of the numerous forms of input data needed to describe decision-making problems of similar complexity, so that one or more outcomes of the synthesis make possible informed, well thought-out, strategic decisions. The technical literature on the topic proposes numerous tools of multi-criteria analysis for application in different decision-making contexts. Still, no specific contributions have been drawn up to date on the approach to take in selecting the tool best suited to providing adequate responses to the queries of evaluation that arise most frequently in the various fields of application, and especially in the settlement sector. The objective of this paper is to propose, by formulating a taxonomy of the endogenous and exogenous variables of tools of multi-criteria analysis, a methodology capable of selecting the tool best suited to the queries of evaluation which arise regarding the chief categories of decision-making problems, and particularly in the settlement sector.

The themes of reduce, recycle, reuse are at the heart of the challenges that the global society of the XXI century is facing. At the same time, more than two-thirds of the world population lives in cities nominating the latters to play a central role in the near future. For this reason, the search for a methodology for the redevelopment of the historical urban fabrics appears today extremely interesting. Complexity, richness and stratification of the latters make them definitely the most convincing test to set a scientific strategy for the project of urban transformations. But stratification means complexity and complex are the phenomena that characterize the XXI century society. The only convincing way then for the analysis of these phenomena is that of the multi-disciplinarity. The proposed methodology is structured, thus, around a number of disciplines (Urban Morphology, Sustainability, Urban Regulation, Economic Evaluation and Urban Design) on which to set the reading of the urban fabric with special attention to the so called “urban voids” namely all those situations in which the tissue is interrupted due to slumping and demolitions. This aspect is very important because if, on the one hand, it is in these areas where key tissue analysis problems can be seen, on the other hand, it is always from these areas that the main urban, social and economical transformation opportunities can take boot. A Due Diligence of the “urban voids” organised in datasheets/base (for each area) concludes the analysis. The different disciplinary fields work then in a complementary way within a single methodological approach laying the scientific basis for the interventions of urban regeneration within the historic fabric of Valencia.
