LA VALUTAZIONE DELLA FATTIBILITA’ FINANZIARIA DEGLI INTERVENTI DI TRASFORMAZIONE URBANA: IL CASO DELLA CITTA’ DI PONTEDERA (ITALIA)

Abstract

The sustainable development of cities is ruled by an effective and efficient management of urban renewal interventions at the local scale. With reference to three degraded urban areas in the city of Pontedera (Italy), the aim of the paper is to highlight the usefulness of the Cost-Volume Profit Analysis (CVPA) as a reference for supporting the decisions that public and private operators have to face in order to identify the most suitable initiative for each area. Two different scenarios which respectively refer to the provisions of the General Regulatory Plan (GRP) of the city and the projectual proposal are analyzed for each plot area. The achieved results prove the rigidity of the GRP forecasts can generate unfeasible interventions which, therefore, are not attractive for private entrepreneurs. The proposed methodology is a logical-operational reference that can be easily applied both by public and private subjects in order to i) quickly assess the stability of the financial structure, and ii) to provide the basis for a negotiation for improving the requested works.
