Evaluation of the economic sustainability of the projects in social housing

With reference to operations of urban regeneration to be realized with the involvement of private investors, in this work a model of Operative Research is developed that allows to define, subject to the constraint of financial feasibility for the private operator, the maximum share of social housing to be borne by the private sector, the administered price of sale and/or lease of social housing and the exchange factor of the area to redevelop. The model is applied to a project of urban regeneration and social housing recently realized in an Italian Region. The research highlights the utility of the model as a tool for decision support in the planning of social housing.
