Abstract
The feasibility of an urban regeneration project is the result of both intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics. What deserves to be analyzed in this context, it is the role of the reclamation costs and the location of the site in influencing the success of the intervention. Given these premises, the convenience and the feasibility of an urban regeneration project seem to be the result of this formula even if there are other factors able to affect the final outcome. Nowadays the estimation of Ecosystem Services (ESs) is becoming a guide for the landscape design even if quantifying their benefits presents limits and criticalities. In this context the research proposed, presents an ecosystem perspective to estimate reclamation costs. The aim of the paper is to understand how to evaluate the compensation given by the provision of ESs in urban regeneration context when reclamation costs are necessary.
