Abstract

Over time, the social housing projects completed between the 1940s and early 1960s on
the outskirts of today’s cities have proved to be lacking in a number of physical, conceptual and
social ways, making them extremely vulnerable. This overlapping of difficulties has meant that the
intervention model intended to recover them must include material processes on building
infrastructure as well as non-material ones of a historical, socio-economic or environmental nature,
in order to achieve integrated urban regeneration. As these processes for transforming consolidated
areas are relatively new, a lack of coordination between instruments and policy is noted. Although
this is starting to be addressed via legislation, it is still present and can be noted in the lack of
precision in the terminology used in documents that address and regulate the issue. With a view to
contributing towards setting these processes straight to some extent, this paper begins by
classifying them in order for them to be studied through urban-regeneration operations that have
been carried out to date in Spain, enabling us to identify future challenges for progress.
