Masterclasses series - First edition 2024

URBAN REGENERATION: INNOVATION IN MODELS AND IMPACT MEASUREMENT

The redevelopment of public and private real estate assets can generate economic, social, and environmental impacts that go beyond individual properties and affect various territorial scales. These impacts involve areas such as land use, mobility, functional and social mix, business opportunities, and overall well-being. Planning, managing, and evaluating urban regeneration processes requires integrating diverse skill sets and considering the contribution of various actors operating within a complex system of relationships.

The masterclass program aims to provide the tools necessary to understand and manage urban regeneration processes, with a focus on innovative development models, value creation mechanisms, and the roles of various public and private stakeholders.

The series comprises five masterclasses, each lasting 6 hours. Classes take place over five Mondays starting from May 27th, 2024. Each masterclass gives an in-depth overview of a specific topic, entailing a combination of lessons, testimonies and case studies analysis, with the active engagement of participants. Participants can attend one or more masterclasses based on their interests. The series ends with a final workshop where key players of urban regeneration discuss the contents and results of the masterclasses.
