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.

This open access book includes a selection of innovative
contributions presented at the 4th international conference
“Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions 2022”,
held in Bolzano, Italy in July 2022. Featuring 10 papers by
academics and consultants, strongly rooted in practical experiences
and international projects, it discusses current ground-breaking
research in innovative and sustainable planning for cities, with a
focus on the environmental, economic, and social challenges
associated with the global sustainability transition and energy
systems integration. The contributions are illustrative of the
richness of the issues discussed and the breadth of the emerging
themes, including innovative business models for building and
infrastructure at district level, integrated sustainability
assessment schemes for Positive Energy Districts, a material flow
accounting model for regional metabolism, energy communities
as a lever to promote historical and landscape values, optimized
and electrified last-mile logistics, multi-criteria decision
analysis tools to redefine center/periphery relationships, a
framework for socio-spatial analysis related to social practices,
design principles and communication technologies improving both
indoor and outdoor public spaces, augmented nature-based
solution coupling the green elements with the latest technologies
to deliver healthier and more appealing 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.
