THE RETROFITTING OF REGGIO CALABRIA’S STADIUM AND ITS ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY: THE EVALUATION IN SUPPORT OF THE PERSPECTIVES FOR URBAN REGENERATION

Abstract

The paper shows a study of the economic feasibility of the retrofitting project on the “Oreste Granillo” stadium in Reggio Calabria (Italy), in case of a public-private partnership for the realization of the work and the consequential management. This work, once illustrated the modern strategies on the European and Italian level, leads to expose the case study. After the description of the context in which the stadium is collocated and its main features, it follows the analysis of some best practices that drove the planning choices. Once defined the overall strategy, which provides the retrofitting of the existing stadium rather than the realization of a new stadium out of the city, there’s the explanation of the planned measures. After that, it was possible to define the planning choices and verify the economic feasibility of the entire work, thanks to the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.
