After analysing city problems, best practise and European programmes (just like Urban, Smart City,..), we created a tool which incorporates the key aspects needed to create efficient urban regeneration: the Matrix. The matrix has six main qualities: City planning, Built, Social, Urban Politics, Energy and Environment. Each quality has several guide lines/actions That we researched. Each guidelines has a lot of connection with the other one and this “connection network” is the dynamic matrix.
The matrix will outline main problems and will also show the overlapping ones and will always give different results whenever used. MATRIX APPLICATION RESULTS ON TORINO’S DISTRICT
