Abstract

Ana Maria Almeida:
Executive Director of APOR – Agency for the Modernization of Porto S.A.

Urban redevelopment policies have emerged today as one of the trends in modern urban law, reacting against a model of urban development primarily based on urban expansion and the enlargement of city boundaries.

Urban rehabilitation companies aim to create rehabilitation dynamics—attracting new residents, new businesses, more tourism, and additional services—and lay the foundations for investors to purchase and rehabilitate buildings, thus effectively contributing to reversing the situation of population scarcity, aging, and impoverishment, and attracting young people in a clear effort towards social mixing.

The improvement of the urban environment through an integrated and sustainable rehabilitation process is the result of cross-sectoral intervention.
