Abstract: Even if the city of Cagliari may not be considered an archetypical example of \n“neoliberal city”, in recent years it has been interested by significant urban \nprojects and investments that seem to reproduce a common neoliberal \nlogic and footprint and that necessarily interact with previous and \nrecent practices and forms of urbanity. Moving from these premises, the \npaper introduces the case of the district of Villanova, once a degraded \narea within the city-center, recently subjected to a process of urban \nrequalification and partial gentrification. The main aim of the paper is to \ndetail the logics of the project, the role of the different actors involved \nwithin it and the most evident socio-economic impacts of Villanova’s regeneration, \nfocusing on the most visible contradictions and ambiguities \nof the urban capitalism “made in Cagliari”.
