Abstract

This chapter presents the case of a historic industrial district in the city of Bologna (Italy): Roveri District. Here a transition process towards a smart sustainable district has been started and a systemic, integrated and bottom-up approach put the basis for the conception of the sustainable model in order to transform the district into Roveri Smart Village. Roveri Industrial District was settled in the early ‘70s as an industrial area in the outskirts. In the last years, the whole district was incorporated into the southern urban area of Bologna. Currently, Roveri Industrial District represents one of the Italian Metropolitan areas with the highest concentration of small and medium-sized enterprises. Nevertheless, district management does not already exist. Recent economic contingencies have induced a general, not coordinated transformation of the past industrial structure. Therefore, the combination of regeneration and sustainability actions is the main challenge to which Roveri Smart Village Project aims. This chapter presents the development of a collaborative and integrated approach to support the Roveri industrial district transformation. Especially, methods and actions supporting the creation of new sustainable industrial practices for the Roveri Smart Village community are described in detail. In this process, governance models, collaborative processes and innovative solutions based on industrial symbiosis scenarios and energy efficiency have enforced the Roveri transformation. The results are connected to steer the innovation towards an industrial Smart Sustainable District (SSD) and to build the district community based on a strong network of enterprises and local stakeholders. In this process, circular economy and energy efficiency applications can act also as strategic tools favouring this collaborative and integrated approach establishment and put the basis for a transferable model that can inspire the transformation of other industrial districts.
