Enhancement of exisisting assets and methods of economic evaluation. Case studies and aims

More and more territorial policies put the attention on the reuse of existing buildings, in order to preserve the land from further consumption of soil. The attention is oriented to objects as diverse as regards as age, use, allocation and the possibility of transformation and conservation. Brownfield sites, historical centers, social housing built in the second half of the last century, public goods subject to alienation, are the focus and the core of development hypoteses. The feasibility of the exploitation of the bult environment is not a foregone conclusion. Social benefits (in the name of which we work) and indents economic-financial public and private entities are characterized by a complex definition. This complexity has increased the focus on traditional economic valuation methodologies and, at the same time, has spurred new thinking for innovation in the field of real estate appraisal and evaluation of projects in more uncertain contexts of the past. In this regard The paper presents a case on the heritage of city centers and to its enhancement.
