Abstract

In urban policies, Italian and European, the urban regeneration of residential districts, especially suburbs built in post-war urban expansions, has been a crucial question since the 1990s. An integrated approach is now essential for effective urban redevelopment programs, which consider not only architectural and urban, but also social, economic, naturalistic-environmental and cultural aspects, in order to return dignity, identity and centrality to the marginal areas that today express tangible and intangible forms of urban unease. The development in recent decades of innovative tools such as complex programs, social housing, therefore, marks the transition to a new way of urban planning, characterized by a different approach to urban and territorial policies, aimed at integrating a plurality of functions and typologies of intervention and that contemplates the possibility to involve private operators and private financial resources for the realization of public works. The paper presents a case study as a best practice approach to urban regeneration.
