The complexity of the initiatives and the limited availability of public and private financial resources require increasingly strong collaboration between the disciplines that contribute to the definition of interventions on the city and the territory.
In this context, the Valuation and Economic Evaluation of projects take on a leading role, contributing to the definition of feasible, effective and sustainable solutions, capable of limiting risks and negative impacts.
The scientific-disciplinary contents of Valuation and Evaluation in fact concern the methodological and operational assumptions for the estimation of properties and intervention costs, for the verification of the feasibility of plans and/or projects at different scales, for the valorization of public and private assets, for the prediction of the effects of interventions on human and natural resources through monetary or quantitative-qualitative approaches.
In the DRACO Estimation and Evaluation Curriculum C these contents are declined, both in training activities and in research, with particular attention to: the financial and multi-criteria evaluation of interventions on built heritage; the analysis of investments in conditions of uncertainty; the development of feasibility studies; to the study of the repercussions that urban redevelopment operations can have on real estate values; to the development and testing of tools to support public and private decisions in conflictual contexts; to the valorization of historical-architectural assets and the landscape.
