The adaptive reuse of the existing heritage is one of the main dynamics for the transformation of the contemporary city. The course aims to focus on the reuse of existing heritage through projects of case studies implemented or in progress. There are three proposed focuses: the roles of the different actors involved, the mechanisms for identifying and making available economic resources, the availability of public spaces and services, and the contribution to the modernization of essential services (health, education, culture, etc ...).
The impacts evaluation of adaptive reuse in the territorial dimension will constitute a further area of interest of the course as well as the interrelationships with the aspects of mobility and in general the improvement of urban quality.
