Technical and Economic Evaluation of a Building Recovery in Public-Private Partnership in Rome

The purpose of this article is to present the assessment procedure developed and operatively applied to verify the technical, regulatory, and financial conditions for implementing an intervention for the recovery/repurposing of a publicly-owned building through a public/private/partnership operation. The proposed procedure aims to represent a methodological approach to support a public administration in: i) defining the compatibility and sustainability of repurposing publicly owned buildings; ii) proposing actual sustainable projects for private co-financing; iii) assessing the soundness of the potential offers by private parties. Operatively speaking, the procedure was applied to the possibility of transforming a school building (owned by the Province of Rome), located in Rome’s Testaccio neigh-borhood, planned for closing.
