Overview

The COVID-19 health emergency after the occurrence of the subprime crisis of 2007 has highlighted the economic, social, and environmental shortcomings of urban systems. The most difficult challenge of the 21st century is the ability to carry out effective interventions in cities to mitigate urban genetic anomalies (urban sprawl, urban sprinkling, etc.) and avoid land consumption. In this context, the active industrial sites that are subject to reclamation interventions, including reconversion and monitoring of the effects, are of national interest and play a crucial role in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by Agenda 2030. Since the ""Stockholm Conference"" of 1972, the European Union has brought to governments' attention the need to plan actions that aim to reduce the negative effects caused by impactful land use. The 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, the recent ""NextGenerationEU"", and the New Green Deal targets represent the current global efforts that aim to improve the future of European urban development. It is, therefore, imperative to pursue the efficient management of existing real estate assets and adequate regulation of new building according to the current relevance of the ESG's criteria (Environmental, Social and Governance). With this Special Issue, we present papers that provide insights into the assessment and evaluation frameworks concerning the risks of economic, financial, social, health, and environmental issues generated by land consumption or industrial and production activities in the urban environment where both public and private subjects are involved.
