ABSTRACT

The urban regeneration lies on closed loops of energy, materials, information. The aim of case study is to evaluate and support policies of urban regeneration. The topic of the study is the control of waste flow made by the C&D (construction & demolition) activities involving the urban district. Each building produces a continuous flow of wastes during its predicted service life. This flow is mainly due to small building sites that generate small amount of wastes. In this way the collection, recycle and reuse material can be less accurate. In a regeneration perspective the reused and/or recycled part must be maximized. The study develops a GIS (geographic information system) based model for the assessment of the maintenance workloads of wastes produced. Coming from the data available by the public authorities and the survey on sites, the research group has carried out evaluation of the amount of wastes for building envelope, interior refurbishment of apartments, roads and parking lots. The output is a raw estimation of the C&D wastes by the maintenance and refurbishment of an urban district in Turin based on real evaluation of works needed.

KEYWORDS
