Resumo(s)
Urban degradation in existing neighbourhoods has become a pressing global issue, driven by demographic pressure, environmental degradation, and inefficient urban management practices. This chapter proposes a strategic framework for a sustainable rehabilitation action plan aimed at reversing these trends and promoting urban sustainability in already urbanised contexts. The framework addresses both the physical transformation of the built environment and the social dynamics required to foster long-term community engagement and resilience. Grounded in theories of sustainable urban development and participatory planning, the research employs a mixed-methods approach that integrates spatial analysis, evaluation, and policy review. This methodology supports the identification of key components necessary for effective urban rehabilitation, including diagnostic tools to assess neighbourhood conditions, guidelines for sustainable construction practices, and participatory mechanisms to ensure local ownership of interventions. The chapter’s core contribution lies in outlining a structured rehabilitation process that bridges regulatory planning frameworks with residents’ demands and aspirations. It emphasises the need for local governance to take a proactive role in enabling sustainable change through legislation that is responsive to community needs. Aligning environmental, social, and economic objectives, the proposed action plan aims to not only improve the physical environment but also to enhance social cohesion, mitigate urban desertification, and foster a stronger sense of place and responsibility among residents. Ultimately, this work offers policymakers, urban planners, and researchers a practical and theoretically grounded proposal for urban regeneration that prioritises sustainability and inclusion in the rehabilitation of existing urban neighbourhoods.
