1_DESCRIPTION
The economic evaluation of urban plans is an analysis that assesses the economic and financial aspects of a plan, taking into account both the costs and the benefits resulting from urban transformations. It is no longer considered an activity that follows planning, but rather an integral component from the very early stages, influencing decisions and ensuring the feasibility of the plan.
The course aims to provide students with methods for the economic evaluation of urban transformation plans and projects, and to deepen their understanding of tools such as Cost-Benefit Analysis, the Analytic Network Process (ANP), Economic Feasibility Studies, and multi-criteria methods for integrated decision-making on environmental sustainability and urban regeneration. The objective is to develop in students an awareness of issues related to economic convenience, feasibility, and urban sustainability at different scales of intervention.
The evaluation of plans, programs, and territorial or urban projects — as well as of land transformation initiatives — is:
- of strategic relevance;
- of primary urgency;
- a matter of growing attention, especially in light of recent legislation (above all, the “Environmental Code” of April 3, 2006), which makes environmental assessments mandatory for plans, programs, and projects.
These evaluations address various aspects, starting from the strategic dimension of the sustainability of territorial and urban plans.
The course provides training in environmental and economic assessments, tackling the main theoretical and methodological issues and offering students direct, advanced experience through the application of:
- evaluation techniques and tools useful for responding to concrete planning and sustainability challenges.
2_COURSE PROGRAM
The teaching focuses on three main areas:
First Focus
The first focus of the course describes the issues related to sustainability assessments, clarifying the main procedures:
- SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment);
- EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment);
- AA (Appropriate Assessment / Ecological Incidence Assessment);
- IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control).
It also examines in depth several tools, such as:
- systems of environmental indicators;
- techniques for the economic evaluation of environmental assets;
- multi-criteria analyses;
- LCA (Life Cycle Assessment).
Second Focus
EXEMPLARY PARADIGMS
- Strategic Evaluation of a Regional Territorial Coordination Plan (PTCR);
- Strategic Environmental Assessment of a Regional Mining Activities Plan (PRAE);
- Environmental Compatibility Assessment of a Provincial Territorial Coordination Plan (PTCP);
- Evaluation using the Multi Criteria Regime Method of a Provincial Plan for the Enhancement of Cultural and Environmental-Landscape Assets;
- Ecological and Energy Assessment of an Urban Plan for an AZE (Almost Zero Energy) City;
- Life Cycle Valuation and Ecological Footprint of a District Plan for an AZE (Almost Zero Energy) Neighborhood.
Third Focus
Hands-on experience in the Strategic Preliminary Economic Evaluation of an Urban Plan for an AZE (Almost Zero Energy) city or neighborhood.
The objective is to provide students with theoretical and operational skills for analyzing the costs, benefits, and economic impacts related to the energy retrofit of the built environment, from an environmental, social, and economic sustainability perspective.
Through a combination of theoretical lectures, case studies, practical exercises, and applied workshops, the course guides students in the use of estimation techniques (e.g., NPV, ROI, IRR), cost-benefit and multi-criteria analysis tools, and the interpretation of key policies and regulations on energy transition (Green Deal, EPBD, PNRR).
Special attention is given to understanding the impacts of urban planning on real estate value enhancement, collective well-being, and emission reduction, considering models of public governance and partnerships for the energy regeneration of the urban fabric.
3_EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Knowledge and understanding
The course aims to provide students with the ability to outline and compare different scenarios of urban and territorial transformation from the perspective of overall sustainability, using multi-criteria methodologies, and to evaluate the economic convenience associated with the implementation of urban transformation plans and projects at different scales (from the building scale to municipal and regional levels).
2. Applying knowledge and understanding
Students will acquire the ability to identify and apply the most appropriate evaluation methodologies for developing an economically feasible and sustainable plan or project, based on data availability, interaction with stakeholders involved in the decision-making process preceding and accompanying the plan/project, and the different phases of the design process.
3. Making judgements
Students will develop the ability to identify, collect, and interpret analytical and synthetic economic-financial information useful for formulating independent judgments and evaluations regarding the benefits, effects, and impacts of plans and projects at various scales.
4. Communication skills
Students will acquire the ability to:
- organize and present the results of applied evaluations;
- work professionally within planning and design teams;
- publicly present the outcomes of their work;
- identify estimation problems and propose suitable solutions.
5. Learning skills
At the end of the course, students will have acquired the essential keys for developing and producing sustainable plans and projects.
