Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated evaluation approach as a support tool for the design of urban regeneration operations in historic centers, and it highlights the need for innovative assessment and design strategies useful for generating greater involvement and community awareness. In particular, the study proposes an Embedded Mixed-Methods Approach focusing on the case study of Trieste (northern Italy). The evaluation framework is based on the integration of the Multi Attribute Value Theory (MAVT) with various other methods, such as SWOT Analysis, Stakeholder Analysis, the Public Space Quality Protocol and the NAIADE technique. The results illustrate the ability of the proposed methodology to promote a successful network of actions and strategies for the regeneration of historic centers.
