Regeneration, Port-cities, Sustainability, ParticipationAbstract
The scope of this document is to develop a methodological approach, and at the same time providing design applications, in terms of urban regeneration. An increasingly emerging topic in our urban realities. In particular, a systematic analysis of practices and models is reported, in the current context of urban planning, in the regeneration of port-cities.
The paper reports a research developed in the university field starting from a public competition. The research starts from the definition of urban regeneration to arrive at the identification of an circular approach and key issues applicable to the Genoa Pra’-Palmaro case study. According to the “learning-by-doing” approach, the Pra’-Palmaro case study is analyzed here to highlight the strategies implemented for a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder urban regeneration project.
The research output is a methodological approach that supports the realization of an urban regeneration process thus opening a scientific debate on the topic. Particular attention is paid to current policies and strategies related to concepts such as: sustainability, circular economy, resilience and new technologies. The research can therefore help other port-cities in the world to realize sustainable urban regeneration, also attentive to the participation and involvement of stakeholders.
