Abstract

The PolisMaker is a -city manager-, a -facilitator-, a local, global and glocal urban strategist with the task of presiding over the transformation of the city and the territory. His reading of urban phenomena combines technical knowledge with a particular sensitivity for the well-being of man, making use of collaborative design, combining quality of life with economic development at different scales, taking into account existential space and dynamics economic and social that constitute the flow of daily life. 

As a builder of urban strategies, with a marked endogenous development and due to its interdisciplinary nature, it covers from sectors of the Public Administration, transnational organizations and stakeholders, to real estate development companies or entities specialized in the reconstruction of urban settlements haunted by catastrophes or calamities of anthropic or natural origin.
It uses a set of cutting-edge techniques aimed at capturing the social value of public goods, with special reference to the benefits generated by future direct, indirect and potential users through the use of multicriteria analyzes of value and common benefits under systemic innovation.
The objective of this writing offers reflections on the present and the future of this discipline, PolisMaker (Politecnico di Milano), academic training and figure that accompanies, in its twentieth year, decisions in urban transformation.
