“…The first applications of this policy have produced very limited effects on direct building renovation [49]. Following the analysis of the results in the main Italian cities (Rome and Milan), it has emerged that renovation interventions have been carried out mostly in qualified urban areas [50,51]. In fact, density bonus can be evaluated as the discounting of property incomes: in these areas, their value is sufficiently high to motivate the execution of renovation interventions; in other areas, where market appeal is lower, the entity of the bonus does not constitute a sufficient driving force, as it does not guarantee suitable incomes in relation to the risk.…”

The European Green Deal indicates the renovation of both public and private buildings as a key element for the improvement of energy efficiency in the building stock, in order to reach the goals of the document itself. New incentives, also including density bonus, can significantly contribute to foster diffuse actions. In Italy, the density bonus is under testing: the current framework has produced profitability for regeneration in some areas and unprofitability in others. This has led to a non-diffuse renewal, widening differences in richness and quality throughout territories subjected to the same reward measure. A territory is characterized by a high degree of typological and qualitative fragmentation and dissimilarity. Thus, the aim of the present work is the construction of a model that allows for identifying the entity of the reward measure in terms of density bonus. Density bonus can determine the feasibility of renovation interventions—in economic-financial terms and in relation to urban impact—taking into account the characteristics of the context (or micro-context) where they are performed. The research model is based on a Balance Sheet Model and is applied to the city of Florence. The model suggests an innovative approach where urban, landscape and environmental impacts produced by the density bonus are evaluated according to the economic amount needed for their mitigation. The expected results in the application of the model consist in the definition of an iso-bonus map organized by areas.

“…Advocates of such collaborative approaches point to positive impacts from governance mechanisms: that are: inclusive, tapping the assets and knowhow of stakeholders from diverse communities (Cepiku, 2017); sufficiently open to encourage the joint development and testing of new solutions and support the diffusion of successful innovations (Lopes and Farias, 2020); and consensual but creative, to support and nurture a constructive management of difference through conflict mediation and mutual learning (Sorensen and Torfing, 2015). Sorensen and Torfing (2018) and Torfing et al (2020: 597) also see leadership roles as central to 'producing' collaborative innovation, arguing that the evidence points to a need for 'leadership… to be re-conceptualised as adaptive activities to bring actors together, create trust, enhance information-sharing, facilitate collaboration, spur mutual learning, manage risks, and track results'.…”

“…For example, the gradual process and pace of partnership formation was a source of frustration among some stakeholders keen to get services operating on the ground. Another challenge to collaborative governance lies in perceived power inequalities between actors, and especially the danger that public sector bodies dominate resource allocation (Cepiku, 2017). In both cases, the keyworkers who played a central role in delivering MIW were employed by arm's-length organisations core-funded by local government, and there was some concern that MIW could become 'municipalised' (i.e.…”

Policymakers in the UK, having long supported centralised and marketised models of governance and delivery in the field of labour market activation, have recently begun to acknowledge the benefits of more localised, collaborative approaches to organising public services. Evidence from other European welfare states suggests that the case in favour of localised innovation may be particularly compelling in urban labour markets, where there can be pockets of severe disadvantage, but also networks of community stakeholders better able to support collaboration and innovation through user engagement. Drawing on the conceptual and empirical literature on ‘collaborative innovation’, this article discusses an example of good practice in innovative localised activation in city labour markets (‘Making It Work’ services targeting unemployed single parents in Scotland’s two largest cities). Our analysis is based on 92 in-depth interviews with single parents and key stakeholders involved in service design and delivery. We identify benefits associated with multi-stakeholder collaborative governance, distributive leadership in programme management, and practices promoting the co-production of innovative services with single parents at the frontline. However, we also note tensions between localised services committed to innovation and empowerment, and an increasingly less interventionist but more punitive liberal welfare state. We conclude by identifying potential lessons for the governance, management and delivery of activation services in urban areas.
