This book features a selection of the best papers presented at two
recent conferences organized by the SIEV (Italian Society of
Appraisal and Valuation). Taking into account the current need for
evaluative skills in order to make effective and sustainable
investments, it highlights the multidisciplinary role of valuation,
which opens the door for interactions with other sectors,
scientific and professional fields. The book collects twenty-two
papers, divided into three parts (Territory & Urban Planning,
Real Estate Assets & the Construction Building Process, Real
Estate Finance & Property Management) that reflect the main
issues of interest for future urban development policies, namely:
feasibility analysis for investments; selecting which decision
support models to apply in complex contexts; enhancement of public
and private assets; evaluating the effects produced by territorial
investments; valuation approaches to properties; risk assessment;
and strategies for monitoring energy consumption and soil sealing.

This book features a selection of the best papers presented at two
SIEV seminars held in Venice, Italy, in September 2017 and 2018, in
the context of the Urbanpromo Green events. Bringing together
experts from a diverse range of fields - economics, appraisal,
architecture, energy, urban planning, sociology, and the decision
sciences - and government representatives, the seminars encouraged
reflections on the role of future cites in terms of sustainable
development, with a particular focus on improving collective and
individual well-being. The book provides a multidisciplinary
approach to contemporary green urban agendas and urban
sustainability, and addresses the demand for policies and
strategies to strengthen resilience through concrete measures to
reduce energy consumption, mitigate pollution, promote social
inclusion and create urban identity.
This book highlights a selection of the best papers presented at
the 2016 SIEV conference "The Laudato si Encyclical Letter and
Valuation. Cities between Conflict and Solidarity, Decay and
Regeneration, Exclusion and Participation", which was held in Rome,
Italy, in April 2016, and brought together experts from a diverse
range of fields - economics, appraisal, architecture, energy, urban
planning, sociology, and the decision sciences - and government
representatives. The book is divided into four parts: Human
Ecology: Values and Paradigms; Integral Ecology and Natural
Resource Management; Intergenerational Equity; and How to Enhance
Dialogue and Transparency in Decision-making Processes. Cities are
where 72% of all Europeans live, and this percentage is expected to
rise to 80% by 2050. Given this trend towards urbanization, cities
are continuously growing, which also entails a growing risk of
social segregation, lack of security and mounting environmental
problems. All too often, today's cities have to cope with social
and environmental crises, shifting the European urban agenda
towards regeneration processes. Urban regeneration is more complex
than merely renovating existing buildings, as it also involves
social and environmental problems, inhabitants' quality of life,
protecting tangible and intangible cultural resources, innovation
and business.
This book documents the state of the art and the emerging
operational perspectives in the field of the appraisal discipline.
It covers a wide range of topics, including energy efficiency,
environmental sustainability, socio-economic evaluation of regional
and urban transformations, real estate and facility management,
risk management. It also discusses the potential role of appraisal
in minimising unexpected consequences; the role of evaluators in
urban development projects as well as the contribution of several
methodologies with respect to the overall planning and design
processes; the need to manage the complexity of the current
decision contexts, while at the same time promoting efficient and
effective evaluation processes; improving the quality of discussion
and communication of the outcomes of evaluation processes; as well
as the appropriateness of current regulation and policy regimes
(EU, national, regional etc.). It comprises a selection of the best
papers presented at the SIEV 2015 conference "Appraisal: Current
Issues and Problems", which was held in Bari, Italy, in July 2015,
and brought together architects, engineers, urban planners,
decision-makers and government representatives.

The book examines an integrated approach for addressing decisions
about the location of healthcare facilities. Supported by
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision
Analysis (MCDA), the approach provides comprehensive information on
territory, taking into account the spatial dimensions. Due to the
multiple criteria involved, site selection for urban facilities is
a crucial topic in planning decision processes, especially for
healthcare facilities. Healthcare provision policies generally fail
to address the distribution of facilities within cities, entrusting
decisions to various stakeholders. Moreover current evaluation
tools focus on the intrinsic performances of healthcare structures,
disregarding the extrinsic characteristics, namely those related to
the location. Starting with a cross-disciplinary literature review,
the book describes a multi-methodological approach for
decision-making regarding the location of healthcare facilities,
and presents an innovative evaluation tool that simultaneously
considers functional, locational, environmental and economic
issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the areas under
investigation.
This book collects the best papers presented at a recent conference
organized by SIEV (Italian Society of Appraisal and Valuation) to
promote the interaction between Appraisal and Valuation and other
social sciences to study the effects of migration on value and
social, spatial and economic systems in a multicultural city. The
book consists of seventeen papers in two parts. The first part,
"Values and Relational Systems in Multicultural Societies",
features how social sciences--including appraisal and valuation,
urban planning, philosophy, psychology, and geography--take
different approaches to studying values and relationships,
converging to form a unified mosaic of complementary and
interconnected knowledge. The second part, "Permeability and
Permanence of Values in a Contemporary Multicultural City",
highlights the most crucial topics on which appraisals and models
focus to interpret and represent the influence of migration on the
real estate market in different urban and territorial contexts,
from historical centers, small towns, to tourist cities, also
taking into account sustainability, maintenance and regeneration of
cities.
This book examines the role of the evaluation models in
decision-making processes for the construction of circular cities
in the digital revolution. In particular, the book explores the
need for a rethinking of development models proposed by the
circular economy which requires the valorization of natural, social
and economic capital. Urban environment represents a crucial field
of analysis in which applying the circular-economy principles in
order to steer a course towards a sustainable economy characterized
by processes meant to create value instead of extracting it, which
put a step forward in the pathway towards a better future in terms
of economic, environmental and social effects and desirable
outcomes. In this context, the design of urban regeneration
processes and housing environments requires the adoption of
inclusive analysis/assessment models combined with the structuring
and organization of public/private investments that can contribute
to creating positive natural and social impacts as well as economic
and financial returns. This fundamental paradigm shift is
accentuated in the current context, in which the digital revolution
is reinventing the future and calls for a rethinking and
reformulation of value systems in the era of technological process
innovations, while respecting economic, natural and social
ecosystems.
