Sustainable requalification in restricted area: the case study of Flaminio stadium in Rome

The requalification of neglected areas in urban contexts are considered as one of the main challenges to get the targets of environmental sustainability, energy efficiency and life quality currently required for smart cities. The management of deteriorated urban green areas increases human well-being and biodiversity conservation, facilitating the individuation of natural and anthropic risks as well as territorial vulnerabilities. In this context, the paper focused on the Flaminio Stadium in Rome that despite its central position in the city, is located inside a neglected area that could potentially be requalified offering services and facilities to citizens and tourists. This demonstration starts from a status quo study of chosen building and its surroundings in terms of energy analysis. This latter is, then, implemented by a techno-economic study to support its improvement in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability. The economic cost analysis evidences the difficulties to support a requalification cost of global district for the Municipality of Rome.
