Description
Summary:This paper explores the role of urban regeneration in implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 11 within European contexts, with a particular focus on the Italian case. Starting from a comparative analysis of social and territorial inequalities in Europe, the study highlights how the transformation of the built environment can restore centrality to marginalised territories and contribute to the construction of more inclusive and solidaristic cities. The comparison between European experiences, selected at the building scale, and Italian interventions, developed at the urban scale through the Integrated Urban Projects of the Italian PNRR, reveals different yet complementary approaches to implementing the SDGs. Central to this process is the technological culture of design as an integrated approach to urban transformation. The case of the R5 sector in Tor Bella Monaca (Rome) is presented as an operational paradigm of urban regeneration for territorial equity.   Article info Received: 07/04/2025; Revised: 19/05/2025; Accepted: 21/05/2025
