Eco-Energy Analysis in Urban Regeneration Plans: Basic Application in the Eastern Area of Rome

Abstract:

The article places the urban regeneration theme in the evolutionary context of the general concept of sustainability. The consideration of the environment in terms of exhaustible resources (sources & sinks), the conception of the urban environment according to EU policies, the vision of sustainability as "efficiency in the transition", are the cornerstones. Then describes the research in progress on the development of an operational methodology to define explicit and replicable bases of the urban environment concept to be considered in plans for urban renewal. Fields of observation and measurement are comfort and anthropogenic load (pollution). In this regard presents the main results of the ongoing experimental application concerning the eco-energy analysis of the Eastern area of Rome. Finally, gives some general lines for the possible development of research on the topic.
