STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
Active population and (active) local stakeholders, and with design, in the area and around the area of Morandi‐Tor Sapienza Local institutions available and collaborative since the project started Sensitivity to the activation of productive activities is innovative in the field of environmental sustainability (short agricultural chain, reuse and recycling chains, and activities related to renewable energies) Within the area of Tor Sapienza there are several abandoned public spaces, green areas are inaccessible, untreated Industrial areas out of use (brownfields).
Structural level:‐ geographical isolation ‐ distance from the main commercial and public services and dependence on Tor Sapienza ‐ poor road connections with the neighborhood and pedestrian Functional level: ‐ poor maintenance of the areas of the yards, gardens and central spine ‐ absence of adequate cleaning ‐ lack of transport ‐ the distance from the center of Tor Sapienza‐ absence of essential services such as emergency room, police station, etc. ‐ lack of redevelopment Social level: ‐ lack of poles of aggregation and cultural centers and public recreation for groups of young people and adults ‐ high level of unemployment and school dropouts ‐ lack of job training centers for young people‐ lack of coordinated operational units, and with adequate financial resources for the rehabilitation and social regeneration of the area ‐ concentration ranges of medium‐low socio‐economic ‐ the presence of a flourishing market of prostitution and drug nearby ‐ the presence of two Roma settlements within the poor conditions of the area ‐ general negative perception of the place by Tor Sapienza. Self’ghetto’isation of residents.
OPPORTUNITIES
THREATS Area of productive vocation although with prospects of intense economic restructuring and real estate speculations Railway network node Strong demand for redevelopment of the residential fabric Presence of abandoned spaces to be retrieved for social gathering activities or for productive fabric Presence of productive experience which have launched urban agriculture projects in green/ farmhouses/abandoned spaces with potential for agricultural production The new Structural Funds programming 2014‐2020
Coexistence of economic and social issues that affect an area such as that of Morandi Difficulty of intervening on the set of marginality in the area Disregarded expectations and consequent loss of confidence in the institutions The period of economic crisis is not conductive to the initiation of new productive activities Lack of space for vocational training Deficiencies within the infrastructure linking effective, underuse of those existing / Train Station, Park & Ride

Ágnes
Böhönyey, the selected Lead Expert of RE‐Block, has significant working experience in the theme of integrated development of deprived areas and areas at risk of deprivation as well as relevant thematic expertise in URBACT projects.Moreover, as the Head of Department of the National Managing Authority for the Regional Development Operational Programme
she was heavily involved in the programming and design of urban rehabilitation programmes
and their implementation, following the URBACT II initiative principles.
LEAD EXPERT
The main objective of the RE‐Block project is to achieve, in the areas of the partners involved, the local action plans. These plans are made through a participatory and inclusive of local actors. Local actors are a ULSG (URBACT Local Support Group: URBACT Local Action Group), in order to carry out this plan of a strategic nature.
A series of international meetings will help the local action groups to come into contact with other partners in Europe where they face similar problems with the same methodology. The comparison with international experts (knowledge ambassadors) from the different partner countries can expand their horizons and perspectives in the design of solutions for local development.
The local action plan, of high strategic value, resulted from this participatory process, will identify a set of projects and define their priority. These projects should have a high degree of maturity, in other words, must be shared by institutions and local actors and to be associated with a clear path to financing funds (EU, national, regional, local).
