Abstract
The starting point of the approach developed in this chapter consists of the change that the contemporary European city is experiencing, as a result of the effects created by the process of functional and technological obsolescence, which involves significant parts of its urban fabric. Where part of those urban functions (private as well as public, productive, public services, etc.) have ceased or in some way become weakened, other functions have replaced them. This substitution process has a very high level of complexity, due to the interference of legal, economic, urban, environmental, and social problems. This process takes place without following any general rule and it takes specific characteristics within different city contexts, considering timing and, above all, outcomes.

In Italy the State and Regions laws have created many types of “complex urban plans.” Each one has its own features. They have in common the cooperation between public and private sector, the integration of public and private resources and a multifunctional approach.
- 4.
In the Italian public works system, the “concession of building and management” is a form of project financing with a stronger control of the authority, as far as the expected results are concerned, compared with “purely project financing.”

The case studies will be mentioned, where necessary, in Italian with a translation into English and thereafter in Italian only.
