L'osservatorio immobiliare della città di Torino: un patrimonio informativo per la conoscenza e l'analisi delle dinamiche urbane e di mercato.

Understanding the trends, the rules and the behaviour of the real estate market is useful to orientate - following equity, efficiency and efficacy principles - the public decision making processes focused on the urban planning and the public projects scheduling and management, as well as it is useful to generally support the people that work in the real estate sector. Following these aims, since 2000, the Turin Municipality and the "House and City" Department of the Politecnico di Torino started to monitor and periodically analyze the real estate market of the city of Turin. Considering the cadastral survey review, the Real Estate Observatory of the city of Turin empowered its analysis with new research fields, taking in consideration the needs expressed by the different stakeholders.
