The SIEV, the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture and the Educational Architecture Structure of Syracuse of the University of Catania promote this conference aimed at analyzing the relationship between the fundamentals of the economic-estimation discipline and the most current issues of the territorial government.
Theoretical and methodological aspects will be addressed, also with respect to the progressive ability of our discipline to capture, with the progress of its operational tools, the external effects of territorial, cultural and environmental policies.
In particular, it will be the occasion for a comparison between systems of knowledge, on the epistemological roots of evaluation and on the validity of the economic-estimative paradigm with respect to the most important challenges to which the social system is called to respond in a climate, the current one, which could be defined as the "age of change".

Radical socio-economic and cultural changes have changed the perception of the past few years of the main issues of life in common - from the environmental to that of social solidarity - and impoverished the scale of shared values by inverting, even on the most important themes, the order of priorities.
A widespread axiological disorder and a general ethical disorientation erode trust in institutions democratic; the sustainability of economic development and the tension towards a more equitable distribution of the resources, do not fill political agendas. One of the scientific assumptions is questioned characterize our discipline for its civil commitment: economic justice as a perspective value judgment regulation.
The many evidences of this drift focus on the debate on the role that evaluation can play in recovery of the harmony between the Earth and the Cities, which our discipline interprets in the synthesis between values and prices, state and market, stocks and flows, present and future, value and wealth.
