Abstract

The recent process of Ciutat Vella’s regeneration, materialized between 1986 and 2004, is based on a model of historical social residential center, faithful to the historical role of the old part of the city. This process required unprecedented institutional and social consensus, and the creation of specific instruments to manage it. At the end of the 20th century more than 3,000 protected homes are promoted and more than 30 000 private homes are rehabilitated, it is not a frequent case. This public impulse is marked by multiple project experiences that have served to experiment with architectural solutions, have consolidated a model of respect for the historical fabric, and based on the comprehensive urban project on public space. This social residential model has been useful for normalizing and stabilizing the population and the age pyramid. However, the growth of tourism and gentrification highlights the deficit of a public housing rental property that allows a more active involvement in efforts to maintain this residential character in the future.
