Scarto vs. risorsa. Proposte per la rigenerazione dei residui urbani

The study deals with the issue of regeneration of disused urban areas, with the aim of orienting the concept of recovery/reuse towards a broader and more circular vision of transformation. The multidisciplinary nature of the working group made il possible 1o develop a methodological proposal, capable of describing a process of "atypical" recovery of urban "residues", seen as a strategic resource 10 generate new economies and to (re] activate material and immaterial relations between Man and the Environment. The proposed process, built starting from the peculiarities of the case study of via Medici del Vascello in Milan, is characterized by an adaptive. flexible and multiscale methodological approach, capable of acting at different levels of intervention for the economic, environmental and social reactivation of the area. The meta-design model is constructed starting from the definition of the macro-orientation regeneration issues (atypical recovery, reticular connection, management/supervision and fluid living), from which target measures for strategic action lines can be obtained. It is an open method that considers the "project" as a "service" for the activation of a replicable urban regeneration model, with particular reference to how the issues of technological innovation, sustainability and environmental comfort, reuse and circular economy, can integrate and dialogue with the renewed typological and social needs of contemporary living.
