This book is a first synthesis of a work that has involved different research groups
in the last four years. The work has involved Universities and research centers
of different countries (Bocconi – Italy, Budapest – Hungary, Leipzig – Germany,
Krakow – Poland, Bath United Kingdom), but also researchers who operate in
research centers of local governments or that have been aggregate from these
institutions.
The original idea of the research model (CoUrbIT – Complex Urban Investment
Tools) has been developed from Bocconi University and an international network
was created around it. The implementation of this research has been made pos-
sible by the use of European Funds (Interreg IIIB CADSES Programme) and with
the involvement of a large number of researchers. The research has also had some
empirical applications in Budapest, Leipzig, Stuttgart, Treviso and Pordenone.
It is very difficult to mention and thank all the colleagues and people that have
collaborated to this research. Great thanks for this book are directed to Elisa Ricciuti
and Veronica Vecchi from Bocconi University, who have contributed with me to make
this book possible. They have carefully worked during the four years of research.
Other thanks are directed to other researchers who have produced information,
notes and data for the case studies (Chap. 4 – Case studies): Prof. Gábor Locsmandi
(Technical University of Budapest – Department of Urban Design) and Eng. PhD
Peter Farkas (City of Budapest – VII District) for Budapest (case study); Prof. Silke
Weidner, Dr. Eng-Arch Jens Gerhardt (University of Leipzig – Faculty of Economics
and Management, Institute of Urban Development and Management Construction),
Dr. Annett Wuensche and Dr. PhD Ute Lenssen (Office for Urban Regeneration and
Residential Development – City of Leipzig) for Berlin and Hamburg – case stud-
ies (some information was taken from Entrust project); Dr. Nicolas Leyva (City
of Stuttgart) for Stuttgart (case study); Dr. Elzbieta Okraska (Institute of Urban
Development, Krakow) for Krakow (case studies).
On the single cases (Chap. 4) they are presented researches by G. Locsmandi
(Sect. 4.1), N. Leyva (Sect. 4.2), E. Okraska (Sect. 4.4), V. Vecchi (Sect. 4.6) and P. Farkas
(Sect. 4.8).
Independent authors of the book are Bryn Jones (University of Bath U.K. –
Dept. of Social and Policy Sciences – Chap. 2), Elisa Ricciuti (with R. Dalla Longa
– Sect. 4.7) and Veronica Vecchi (with R. Dalla Longa).
