Abstract

The Committee of the Regions, in its report “The role of urban regeneration in the future of urban
development in Europe” makes clear that the new model of sustainable city should be based on an
integrated and innovative approach to urban revitalization, consistent with the Leipzig Charter,
taking into account the environmental, economic and social issues. One might raise the urban
rehabilitation, then, as a strategic policy of the city. Strategic policy against environmental problems,
to promote a more equal, cohesive and attractive city, to stimulate the economy, etc.
The study of the case in the article focuses on the rehabilitation of a housing district, similar to
those built by public initiative between 50 and 70 in many other Spanish cities and in the expectations
and results obtained in different analysis fields: environmental, social and economic development.
Especially focuses in the energy and habitability, main objectives of the intervention. Analyzes the
current shortcomings, but also the enormous potential of this type of neighborhoods and defends
an enhancement of them as generalized urban strategy for the future.
