In the digital age, it is crucial to reflect on the role and relevance of urban structuring and decision-support methods.
The overall aim of SUITE research (Decision support in an urban context in the digital age: interactions and uncertainties) is to explore this issue, through a main research question: is the concept of Problem Structuring Methods (PSMs)(Rosenhead and Mingers, 2001; Shaw...
Nowadays effective systems for monitoring, reporting, and evaluation appears to be relevant for governments to enhance urban-level decision-making. Indeed, monitoring the areas, plans and projects implemented in the urban environment and evaluating projects before their implementation turns out to be crucial practices for making informed decisions and supporting sustainable transitions in...
The adoption of innovative technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), is redefining Problem Structuring Methods (PSMs), expanding their capacity to address complex and unstructured problems (Sacco & Poli, 2024). AI, understood as a set of computational techniques capable of analyzing vast amounts of data, simulating scenarios, and constructing multidimensional narratives, enhances...
1.Introduction and Research Gap
The European Unionโs No Net Land Take (NNLT) strategy aims to halt further land consumption by 2050, compelling urban planners to focus on regeneration rather than expansion [1]. This policy shift, set in the framework of the EU Soils strategy for 2030 [2] and Nature Restoration Law [3], necessitates a systematic approach for prevention and restoration of...
Climate risks are becoming increasingly critical as climate change intensifies globally including Italy, where the effects are visible through increase of extreme events such as heatwaves and floods. Addressing climate change requires localized assessments that integrate environmental, socio-economic, and climatic factors to guide targeted adaptation strategies. This study focuses on...
