Abstract

In the processes of urban regeneration, in a circular transition perspective, a multiscalar, integrated and systemic approach allows intervention scenarios to be defined, based on a renewed conception of environmental-economic-social sustainability characterised by circular flows of material and non-material resources. Research results translate these demands into a methodological model at the district scale, trialled in two public housing neighbourhoods in Rome, to turn them into “circular districts”. It is demonstrated that, by applying a circular model of ecological transition to urban districts, the 2050 goal of climate neutrality may be attained, while at the same time improving ecosystemic quality, environmental performance and bioclimatic adaptivity in a wide vision of green cities.

Strategic framework of reference for deep building renovation in a multiscalar perspective of Circular Transition This paper illustrates a model of deep requalification of the existing structures, trialled and validated1 which, by investigating the design/circular transition relationship and working on the multiscalar dimension of urban districts, aims to redefine environmental, energy and social performance in order to activate a circular district marked by high resource efficiency and closed-loop flows of material and nonmaterial resources, in response to decarbonisation and climate neutrality objectives
The adoption of a perspective extending to the life cycle in the entire framework of intervention phases, from design solutions analysis/assessment to arrangement/conception, is recognised as a key approach which, by taking into account all the impacts along the value chain and, by emphasising potential trade-offs, promotes a sure and effective reliance on secondary resources and makes a decisive contribution towards achieving carbon neutrality in the construction sector (ENEA et al, 2020)
