Abstract
The state of abandonment of many Italian territories declared Sites of National Interest (Siti di Interesse Nazionale, SIN) reveals the absence of a shared urban planning strategy leading to rethink the need for non-renewable resources, indispensable for the urban ecosystem. This research – conducted within the Department of Architecture at the University of Naples ‘Federico II’ with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti – reconstructs the political, administrative, and urban events that affected the former tobacco factory Manifattura Tabacchi in Naples, now in a state of abandonment. The research aims to identify zero-waste regeneration strategies and outline new best practices for waste management in the regeneration project of open and built spaces in order to ensure a landscape made up of new ecosystems networks. The research, therefore, proposes a set of actions applicable both in new design processes and in the control and management of the life cycle of existing buildings.
