In the field of urban planning processes, the territorial redevelopment initiatives are important for the sustainable development of the cities. With reference to a real case study in the city of Pontedera (Italy), the aim of the present work is to highlight the usefulness of the Cost-Volume Profit Analysis (CVPA) as a tool to support the decisions of the public and private operators involved in three urban redevelopment initiatives.

In this work an evaluation model to support Public Administration decisions in planning urban strategies that aim to involve private investors has been developed. Considering the unfavorable economic climate, any territorial transformation can be realized only if the public needs meet the financial feasibility of the initiative. For this reason the model allows to define i) the maximum amount of subsidized housing to be realized by the private investor; ii) the administered selling price to be applied.
