Abstract

Rehabilitation of existing building stocks is nowadays recognized as a necessary response to the issues of sustainable development, because not only land is a finite resource and cities should undergo regeneration processes, but to control energy and resources depletion. In the italian context an apparently unassailable barrier towards this transformation are “condominiums” built from the Fifties to the late Seventies. Still this huge heritage, more than 10 million homes where about 36% of Italian families live, which strongly characterizes urban landscapes, is obsolete due to insufficient building envelope and services performances, and is now inadequate to meet the diverse demands in terms of multi-ethnicity, family composition, and, in general, to respond to the complexity of contemporary living styles. The ownership fragmentation, a distinctive feature of these assets, which immobilises management and maintenance, together with the current economic situation and the crisis of the welfare policies, make the potential transformation, requiring physical as well as functional upgrading measures, an almost impossible challenge. However, the evolution of the current social and cultural context towards new models of shared living, related to new forms of coexistence and to rapidly changing lifestyles, in combination with innovative incentives policies to encourage the redevelopment, appear to provide the basis for opening up new opportunities for action on this stock and to incorporate potential rebalancing and positive effects on the urban scale. This paper presents the results of an ongoing research which aims to outline possible scenarios and models for the governance of the condominiums rehabilitation processes, stemming from the collection and analysis of ongoing initiatives which seem to undermine the perverse and solipsistic dynamics characterizing the management of these complexes, and offering a new significance to the concept of “con-dominium” through the reinforcement of the shared use of space and the creation of consensus and social participation. Awareness campaigns operating a renewal of the concept of shared living and of the meaning of public space, innovative forms of public-private partnership or between different private subjects, responding to the needs of new ways of living together, present different interpretations of a systemic approach involving different types of operators and situations, balancing social utility with individual benefits.
