Valuation of the territory: the basis for a correct governance

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a global commitment, backed by most countries, to ensure a sustainable future. These goals are supported by significant economic and human resources, reflecting the hopes of millions of families worldwide. However, achieving these objectives requires more than optimistic declarations, widely publicized agreements, or political commitments. It demands concrete action. For this, reliable evaluation tools are essential to justify the initial societal efforts in promoting these projects. Continuous monitoring and assessment are critical to guarantee that real estate valuation contributes to the socio-economic sustainability that underpins these goals. This article highlights the crucial role of valuation, identifies the challenges and shortcomings within the field, and explores the solutions that this complex discipline offers to professionals and public administrations in addressing both present and future demands.
