Abstract

In view of the necessary change towards reduced land use, reuse of built environment and urban regeneration, this research-action looks at the redevelopment of peri-urban and complex urban areas, where the contributions of different subjects converge towards the circular reuse of spaces and buildings, opening new scenarios for the regeneration of cities. The cooperation with university research and public administrations planning is central to the methodology used for the proposed project experimentations. This provides opportunities for action on urban systems for the future of citizens. The documented design experiments focus on abandoned residential, industrial and management architectures, subject to the application of environmental control techniques, technological retrofit, formal re-design and development of new social opportunities.
