Multidimensional evaluation processes to manage creative, resilient and sustainable city

Abstract

Multidimensional evaluation processes are considered as fundamental tools in managing the transition to the eco-city, toward a new ecological, urban and economic base, founded on synergies among three interdependent circuits of value creation: industrial economy, heritage economy and civil economy. The proposed approach can be a theoretical reference for next methodological and operative applications related to the port-city system, as example where the main contemporary contradictions/paradoxes come into being, and also the most suitable site where to reduce conflicts and transform them into synergies among creativity, resilience and sustainability for a human sustainable city.
