Critical state, contexts in urban production and integrated rehabilitation

Abstract

Urban intervention actions destined to reposition cities’ centrality cannot focus only on rehabilitation and revitalization of historic centres – by promoting traditional urban areas or by enjoying exceptional situations of waterfronts, urbanistic or landscape. They require equitable and integrated integration policies and strategic guidelines, able to articulate heterogeneous and fragmented spaces, giving them an urban identity.

Urban space inhabiting quality must take into account both micro and urban scales. A quality of life that promotes equity, identity, good neighborliness and translates into awareness of the collective good, results from the adequacy of living space and urban space.

Keywords: urban policies, integrated rehabilitation, social exclusion, citizenship
