A distorted urban development, built in the absence of specific regulations, obliges today to carry out energy requalification interventions.
In an economic/regulatory context that requires the transition, from an artisan logic to a para-industrial one, towards industry 4.0 with greater economies of scale, acting not on individual buildings but on urban sectors.
It also means putting the statutory and functional profile up to standard to meet the needs of the society.

The research here presented originates from some of the ongoing challenges of our society: the demographic changes and the high share of population living in urban areas. The aim of the research is the definition of an index of sustainability and quality of life for elderly at suburban scale, not only able to outline aspects related to the local territorial context but also to represent the neighbourhood level. This would provide significant added value to existing indicators that represent the quality of life for much larger areas as cities, regions and nations.
