Quali-quantitative Methods for Analyzing Urban Structure and Supporting Regeneration Policies

This study focuses on a method based on the morphological-typological analysis of urban settlements, where some qualitative-quantitative indicators are identified. These indicators compare the metrics of the buildings with their conservation status, in order to gain useful information concerning the needs and potential strategy of intervention and provide an overall picture of the state of deterioration of urban aggregates (such as architecture, structure, and energy usage). Further, they allow for a first economic estimate of the regeneration of the entire urban space. The study occurred in the district of Villa Adriana in Tivoli (Rome), which due to its almost spontaneous origin, suits well the application and validation of the proposed method. The method has potential to address all the functional, urban, and territorial deficiencies in order to spread space regeneration.
