“…A close interaction between science, local governments, and local communities has also been configured as central, in this regard, exactly in the vein of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (https://www.preventionweb.net/files/43291_ sendaiframeworkfordrren.pdf; accessed on 27 March 2024), which promotes the tools and methodologies of the community-based approach, directly involving local communities in identifying and outlining answers and solutions to their needs, problems and requirements [20,21]. In this, the activation of a public function of the social sciences toward that "public sociology" invoked by Michel Burawoy in his inaugural speech as president of the American Sociological Association in 2004 [22] seems inevitable: "making public issues out of private troubles, and thus regenerating sociology's moral fiber.…”

This paper examines the role of social research and communication methodologies in fostering substantive democratic participation and policy co-production within the context of urban regeneration initiatives anchored in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research critically analyzes the “becoming public” of sociology and social research in participatory design processes related to traditional urban planning instruments at the local scale (Regulatory Plans) in the Italian context, specifically through the case study of the Municipality of Appignano. It questions the role of sociology in activating a competent public sphere and promoting deliberative democracy at urban and territorial design levels and whether we can identify the traits of public sociology in facilitating the different stages of these processes. This paper details a participatory process in Appignano that sought to innovate urban regeneration within complex legislative frameworks, emphasizing community engagement and interdisciplinary approaches. The findings reveal a community actively participating in the regeneration process, demonstrating a high level of agreement on various urban development strategies aimed at sustainability. This study underscores the capacity of public sociology to facilitate public debate and democratic dialogue and suggests that such participatory approaches can significantly contribute to sustainable and resilient urban development, highlighting the potential of sociology as a moral and political force in urban planning.

“…The planning subsystem in the urban renewal process emphasizes the appropriate usage of these urban areas and synchronization with overall urban development, which can be reflected in rigid planning control from the local authority, as well as project design from the decision-making of multi-stakeholder (Stenner et al, 2002;Yang, 2014;Hou et al, 2018;Figueiredo et al, 2022). In this sense, planning entails spatial and physical arrangements to balance the profit relationship and urban function pattern, supervised by the urban planning department and assessed by multi-methods (Radulescu et al, 2016;Bottero et al, 2017;Crescenzo et al, 2018). Specifically, to rebuild a more efficient urban space, plot ratio, building density, and investment intensity of land redevelopment should be rationally regulated in urban regeneration (Wang et al, 2021).…”

Urban renewal involves a wide range of stakeholders with diverse expectations and interests. Conflicts in urban renewal projects arise from intricate relationships among multiple stakeholders, hindering the urban renewal process. With a large amount of current literature examining the barriers, difficulties, and solutions in urban regeneration, a critical review is required to holistically summarize these main concerns and challenges from the stakeholder perspective. Based on 347 journal papers collected from the Web of Science core database, this study investigates the development, trajectory, and tendency of prior studies through a bibliometric analysis. Then, a critical review is documented with eight critical barriers in the economic and social aspects from the stakeholder perspective. To address these issues, this study proposes a strategic framework for value creation, collaborative governance, and benefit sharing. Accordingly, future research agendas are also presented. This study could provide researchers with a systematic understanding of the critical barriers and potential strategies in urban regeneration fields.

“…Assessment can be used as an effective tool for working towards sustainable urban development (Wong 2000). A multi-criteria analysis, therefore, enables the urban regeneration process to be better managed and serves as an effective communication tool among a diverse range of public users (Crescenzo et al 2018;Qu, Leng, and Ma 2019). Therefore, when defining urban attributes, which in this article work as a sort of indicator, we draw on phenomenon proven in the literature, adapting them to the specific context of our chosen place of study (Wei Zheng, Qiping Shen, and Wang 2014;Franceschini, Galetto, and Maisano 2019).…”

Walking should be one of the primary modes of transportation in sustainable cities, being more environmentally friendly, sociable, and health conscious. The principles of New Urbanism (NU) promote walkability, creating urban patterns that support the needs of pedestrians. With that in mind, this study aims to define the relationship between walkability and NU in the context of urban regeneration, establishing the urban attributes that influence walkability in the revival of post-industrial areas. The research comes from a statistical analysis of the flow of people in Księży Młyn (Poland) and a field study from Carré de Soie (France) where urban attributes potentially determining walkability were evaluated. The study confirms that pedestrian traffic and urban form can be optimised through a holistic approach. It sets out the relationship between walkability and various phenomena, including i) social-how users behave in public spaces (the role of pedestrians and cars), and to whom the space is dedicated; ii) economic-how the attractiveness of the service and commercial offer are improving, and how real estate prices are changing; and iii) environmental-how the visual attractiveness of the place and the convenience of the space for pedestrians has improved (shop frontage and accessibility).
