STIMA E VALUTAZIONE NEI SISTEMI REALI COMPLESSI: UNA MAPPATURA SINERGICA E UN MODELLO STRATEGICO

This short paper explores methods for valuation and evaluation, which are suitable for complex inter-connected ‘real’ systems. Urban cultural heritage sites, or urban ecosystems, often contain multiple sources of value (economic, social cultural, ecological): such value is often generated by multiple collaborations, social learning and collective intelligence: and there are multiple policy objectives and system inter-connections to be evaluated. In contrast to the normal reductive assumptions of mainstream valuation / evaluation, such highly inter-connected situations call for new methods. This short paper demonstrates the ‘synergistic’ approach to valuation and evaluation, with a practical ‘evaluation template’, and some examples from Greater Manchester, UK.
