SoURCE project - financed by the Executive Programme on Scientific and Technological Cooperation between Italy and Sweden - is focused on sustainable management and reshaping of urban areas, in consideration of new European initiatives like JPI Urban Europe and in perspective of the new framework Directive EU2020. The main aim of this project is to provide practical guidelines and policies in order to re-shape urban areas by identifying a minimum core, the urban cell. Sustainable reshaping of the city that consider urban cell as minimum core of a larger city model, realize a new vision for sustainable planning, and assess and manage energy networks for optimize the energy ratio between production and consumption in any individual cell are the targets of SoURCE research project. This innovative approach on urban planning considers the city as grid made of aggregation of urban cells. Principles of upgrading energy and environment, rethinking the integrated design of building systems and pursuing the goals of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are then applied to the cells. Considering an urban area as cell-model based, allows an easier identification of the input–output flows (i.e. energy flows, water flows, etc.), and consequently it is possible to underlie “weak links” among them. The methodology includes stakeholders’ involvement, in order to test the technical, administrative and economic applicability of the Urban Cell model. The second workshop of the three years project SoURCE aims to reflect on the results reached by Sweden and Italy towards the definition of the urban cell and the application of the urban cell model.

Abstract
SoURCE project - financed by the Executive Programme on Scientific and Technological Cooperation between Italy and Sweden - is focused on sustainable management and reshaping of urban areas, in consideration of new European initiatives like JPI Urban Europe and in perspective of the new framework Directive EU2020. The main aim of this project is to provide practical guidelines and policies in order to re-shape urban areas by identifying a minimum core, the urban cell. Sustainable reshaping of the city that consider urban cell as minimum core of a larger city model, realize a new vision for sustainable planning, and assess and manage energy networks for optimize the energy ratio between production and consumption in any individual cell are the targets of SoURCE research project. This innovative approach on urban planning considers the city as grid made of aggregation of urban cells. Principles of upgrading energy and environment, rethinking the integrated design of building systems and pursuing the goals of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are then applied to the cells. Considering an urban area as cell-model based, allows an easier identification of the input–output flows (i.e. energy flows, water flows, etc.), and consequently it is possible to underlie “weak links” among them. The methodology includes stakeholders’ involvement, in order to test the technical, administrative and economic applicability of the Urban Cell model. The second workshop of the three years project SoURCE aims to reflect on the results reached by Sweden and Italy towards the definition of the urban cell and the application of the urban cell model.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
