Abstract

Higher education has been becoming increasingly globalized as a business. Currently, there are approximately 200 million University students worldwide, which is more than double the number from twenty years ago. According to several studies, this number will reach 263 million by 2025. In Italy, the structural shortage of beds barely covers 12% of the total, and there is a lack of around 100,000 beds to reach the European average. To face this emergency, the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) has allocated 960 million Euros for new facilities for student housing, also through the enhancement of property assets in disuse. The present research addresses the issue outlined, by analyzing a case study on the economic feasibility of an investment in the recovery of a disused building for student housing. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
