Towards safety and risk assessment in renovation of complex urban heritage

The contribution sets out the approach of a particular study carried out in the framework of a wider ongoing research for the definition of innovative integrated tools for the management, valorisation and transformation of urban complexes of relevant cultural interest. The adaptation to safety requirements must in this case meet the challenge of a coherent integration with the valuable elements of the built heritage. The site of Ivrea, an industrial city of the 20th century, recently inscribed in the UNESCO lists, is an interesting case study, because of the many aspects of its complexity that would require effective guidelines for the planning and coordination of autonomous interventions.
