The Financial Feasibility Analysis of Urban Transformation Projects: An Application of a Quick Assessment Model

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.

The sustainability of urban renewal projects: a model for economic multi-criteria analysis

Purpose: The decisions taken today relating to urban renewal interventions are rarely supported by logical and operational methodologies capable of effectively rationalising selection processes. For this purpose, it is necessary to propose and implement analysis models with the aim of promoting the sustainable development of the territory. The purpose of this paper is to define a model for the optimal allocation of scarce resources.

An Economic Analysis Algorithm for Urban Forestry Projects

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.
