“…The spatial analysis in urban areas focuses more on the city's existing conditions, such as land use, natural conditions, climate and weather, and urban land-use plans based on the direction of the city government. The internal factors in this study are the built environment factors, while the external factors are the distribution of goods and accessibility to and from the city [24]. Figure 3 describes the thematic maps used in this study: administrative maps, existing land use, spatial patterns, land use plans, accessibility, and connectivity.…”

The Internet has increasingly become a critical part in digital era, the Internet has changed how we interact through social media, access information and public services, and navigate spatially. This article argues that adopting a Smart City concept to meet the needs of urban residents should be done in a careful and sustainable manner. Using the city of Malang in the East Java Province as a case study, the research employees a spatial of SWOT analysis, Pentagon Assets Analysis, and 3D IPA. The results showed a disparity of Internet access amongst Malang City residents. The Pentagon Assets results identified that the residents' social and financial capital is still conventionally trying to fulfill their basic needs. Likewise, the spatial SWOT analysis showed that the Internet coverage area was still constrained by the infrastructure network and basic urban infrastructure. This was also supported by the results of the 3D IPA analysis, which showed that most residents have not received good and proper internet network services. The paper offers several public policy implications in the context of the Smart City development. It concluded that policymakers should consider several aspects such as fulfilling basic urban services, increasing community capacity, or fulfilling Smart City development.

“…The use of assessment approaches to give useful information about the feasibility of a project and its social and environmental impacts is even more pervasive in our era (Mondini, 2016). And more specifically, in the context of urban regeneration projects, several evaluation models are available to guide and support the assessment of projects, plans, and policies (Bottero et al, 2021). Three main groups of methods can be identified (Table 1).…”

“…Oggigiorno, è ancora più evidente la necessità di approcci di valutazione in grado di fornire informazioni sia sulla fattibilità di un progetto sia sui suoi impatti sociali e ambientali (Mondini, 2016). Nell'ambito dei progetti di rigenerazione urbana, sono disponibili diversi modelli di valutazione per supportare la valutazione di progetti, piani e politiche (Bottero et al 2021). I metodi applicati in questo contesto possono essere classificati in tre diversi gruppi.…”

Abandoned areas such as neglected railways and urban voids represent a suitable opportunity for the regeneration and requalification of cities, according to the paradigms of sustainability and resilience. Urban transformation and urban regeneration processes are characterized by a high level of complexity, a dynamic behavior over time and interactions between the various actors involved in the process. Within this context, the present paper proposes the application of a combined evaluation framework, based on the integration of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) with a Financial Analysis (FA) to assess different strategic scenarios for the regeneration of the Rogoredo railways area (Milan, Italy). The purpose of this framework is to take into account the complexity of the decision- making process, considering both the qualitative (social and environmental) and quantitative (economic- financial) aspects. In detail, the railway yards in the Rogoredo area in Milan (Italy) represent an emblematic case. The city of Milan, within the Territory Governance Plan (PGT), has already proposed interventions in this site aimed at reconnecting the infrastructural node and making it an attractive and inclusive pole. The present paper demonstrates the usefulness of evaluation procedures in supporting the entire decision-making process and defining the most suitable scenario considering the initial objective and the stakeholders’ interests. The innovative value provided by this application is represented precisely by the possibility of considering both the developer point of view through FA and the broader public perspective through the support of MCDA. This approach allowed to build and evaluate transformation scenarios capable of both attracting potential investors and promoting sustainable mobility models, social inclusion, eco-sustainable development, improvement of environmental quality through the design of new public areas, green spaces, and services for citizens. I vuoti urbani, quali ex aree industriali ed ex scali ferro- viari, rappresentano oggi un’importante occasione di riconversione delle città, nell’ottica di uno sviluppo in chiave sostenibile, resiliente e circolare. Tuttavia, gli interventi di trasformazione e rigenerazione urbana sono caratterizzati da un elevato grado di complessità e dinamicità, così come da un’elevata interazione tra le diverse componenti urbane, quali gli aspetti economici, ambientali, sociali e tra i diversi attori coinvolti nel processo. In questo contesto, l’approccio metodologico proposto nel presente contributo combina le Analisi- Multicriteri (AMC) con l’analisi Analisi Finanziaria (AF). Questo modello permette di analizzare e supportare il processo decisionale nella sua complessità, considerando sia gli aspetti qualitativi (sociali e ambientali) sia quelli quantitativi (economico- finanziari). Il caso degli scali ferroviari dell’area di Rogoredo a Milano (Italia) rap- presenta un caso emblematico. La stessa città di Milano, già all’interno del Piano di Governo del Territorio (PGT), propone interventi volti alla riconnessione di questo nodo infrastrutturale per renderlo un polo attrattivo e inclusivo. L’obiettivo di questo contributo è quello di applicare le AMC con l’AF per la valutazione di scenari alternativi, volti alla riqualificazione dell’ex scalo ferroviario di Rogoredo. La valutazione diventa, quindi, parte integrante dell’intero processo decisionale, supportandone tutte le fasi, da quella iniziale fino alla definizione dello scenario più idoneo agli obiettivi prefissati e agli interessi degli stakeholder coinvolti. Il valore aggiunto fornito dalla presente applicazione è rappresentato proprio dalla possibilità di considerare sia il punto di vista degli investitori, attraverso l’AF, sia la più ampia prospettiva pubblica, attraverso il supporto delle AMC. In questo modo è stato possibile costruire e valutare scenari di trasformazione in grado di attrarre possibili investitori e al tempo stesso capaci di promuovere modelli di mobilita sostenibile, forme di inclusione sociale, sviluppo eco-sostenibile, miglioramento della qualità ambientale, attraverso la progettazione di nuove aree pubbliche, spazi verdi e servizi per i cittadini. In questo processo, la valutazione assume un ruolo essenziale in quanto consente di mettere in luce i diversi obiettivi perseguiti dall’intervento di rigenerazione e le loro eventuali conflittualità. Inoltre, la loro identificazione può supportare la definizione di scenari alternativi di sviluppo, rendendo partecipati sia il processo progettuale sia quello decisionale.

“…In this analysis, the spatial boundary was defined as the boundary of a hypothetical area to be transformed. This working technique was combined with the STEEP analysis, in which the SWOT analysis findings were categorized into five categories: social (SO), technological (TE), economic (EC), environmental (EN), and political (PO) factors [25,26]. This combined assessment is a decision-making methodology used to better visualize the drivers of urban and territorial transformation scenarios.…”

When industrial relics, such as obsolete buildings, sites, and infrastructures, enter into a process of adaptive reuse, they become transformation engines capable of shaping the urban fabric. They provide tangible and intangible links to our past and have the potential to play a significant role in today’s cities’ futures. One unresolved issue is the quantification of the externalities of these transformation processes. If undertaken correctly, adaptive reuse can contribute to the development of social and cultural capital, environmental sustainability, urban regeneration, and, most importantly, economic benefits to the surrounding community. In this sense, understanding the value of heritage is particularly important in light of the new European urban environmental policy movement based on the circular economy, which aims to change the way Member States consume and produce materials and energy. After a review of the externalities generated by the adaptive reuse of disused industrial heritage, the paper will concentrate on the estimation of economic benefits given by a transformation process that affected Turin’s Aurora district (Northern Italy) during the last years. The hedonic pricing method (HPM) was used to investigate the effects of the construction of new headquarters and the redevelopment of an old power plant converted into a museum and conference center. This study used econometric models to identify a significant increase in market prices within 800 m of the site and calculated a EUR 16,650,445 capitalized benefit from the transformation on the surrounding residential building stock. The study thus contributed to the awareness that reused heritage not only improves the lives of residents, but it also has a positive impact on the real estate market, in terms of transactions, as well as market values.
