This book originated at the Italian national NeHoM (Neighbourhood Housing Model) conference, the main theme being the relationship between State, Market and Third Sector in urban regeneration programmes. A large gap between socially oriented pilot experiences and a prevalently market oriented context was identified, especially in some of the new EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe.
This distance between such diverse backgrounds led the Authors of this book to select common key subjects: private actors, involved in local regeneration programs, and non-profit organisations, seen as a new subject playing a relevant role within the social arena.
The research project offers an overview of the past decade:
- the implementation of integrated policies in most countries following a long tradition of spatially oriented initiatives;
- new projects in those countries that consider the real estate market as the only solution to regenerate deprived neighbourhoods.
The question: can the development of local urban scenarios benefit from a comparative study of national cases?

Daniela Ciaffi, Doctor in Territorial Planning and Local Development and postdoctoral researcher at the Turin Polytechnic. Member of the Italian NeHoM research group. Studies physical projects and social action in urban regeneration processes, with emphasis on community participation.
