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.
