A fuzzy multi-criteria decision model for the regeneration of the urban peripheries

The regeneration of the urban peripheral areas is undoubtedly among the most complex issues with which the Public Administrations are currently facing. Different interests, often conflicting, coming from citizens, entrepreneurs and stakeholders, focus on these areas. In the present research a fuzzy multi-criteria decision model is proposed, as support of the Public Administration in the analysis of different scenarios, referred to different temporal moments. The application to four different urban peripheries located in the metropolitan area of Rome (Italy) highlights the potentialities of this model. The representation of the results through a radar diagram and a histogram makes them easily intelligible also by non-expert subjects.
