Regeneration: A Long European History With A Multitude Of Approaches And Methods

Urban regeneration processes, in most European countries, are instruments for the comprehensive renovation of neighbourhoods that bring together a series of complex problems that cannot be solved sectorally. Since 1960, the renovation of residential neighbourhoods has progressively evolved thanks to the incorporation of not only physical-spatial policies, but also social, educational and employment policies, from the URBAN programmes of the European Union (URBAN I, URBAN II) (de Gregorio Hurtado, 2015). Indeed, the idea of urban regeneration is closely linked to the idea of transversality and complexity, so that in the 21st century it has fitted in perfectly with the concept of sustainability firstly (Aguado, 2018; Naciones Unidas, 1987; Robert Goodland, 1997) and now with the Sustainable Development Goals (Naciones Unidas, 2015) and those of the New Urban Agenda (Naciones Unidas, 2017).
