An Evaluation System to Optimize the Management of Interventions in the Historic Center of Florence World Heritage Site: From Building Preservation to Block Refurbishment

A novel methodology for prioritizing interventions in the Historic Centre of Florence has been developed to optimize both heritage conservation and regeneration. This system integrates degradation analysis with cost optimization parameters, offering a strategic approach that aligns with the site's updated Management Plan (2016) and municipal operational guidelines. By shifting focus from individual building preservation to block-level refurbishment, the methodology aims to enhance urban space utilization while minimizing construction costs. The proposed framework provides actionable insights for city administration, fostering sustainable heritage management in dense historic environments.
