Vulnerated Urban Areas under Regeneration
This article explores the negative effects of gentrification, especially in vulnerable areas of contemporary cities, by focusing on five case studies of the city of Barcelona. This relevant question is addressed here following a double strategy (quantitative and qualitative). In an attempt to engage on a debate around the scope and limitations of current urban regeneration interventions, the phenomenon of gentrification is quantified throughout t…
Assessment of Urban Neighbourhoods’ Vulnerability through an Integrated Vulnerability Index (IVI)
Urban inequality, specifically in vulnerable areas, has been a study topic from the earliest days of sociology to the present. This study’s objective is to discuss the scope and limitation of the concept of urban vulnerability, whilst generating an index that detects urban vulnerability in all its dimensions. A factor analysis of the main components was conducted resulting in the formation of four partial indices related to the social class, gent…
Multiscale Integral Assessment of Habitability in the Case of El Raval in Barcelona
The understanding of habitability conditions of existing housing stock plays a central role in the quantification and qualification of sustainability from the architectural field. This research assessed habitability as a fundamental social benefit by means of a multiscale approach to the case study of the Raval neighborhood that can be replicated in other settings. We described a sample of six hundred dwellings located in two urban blocks spatial…
Brechas y oportunidades en el diseño y la gestión de políticas de regeneración urbana. Estudio de 5 barrios vulnerables de Barcelona
En el marco de una investigación sobre políticas de regeneración urbana, este trabajo se propone realizar un análisis crítico de la manera en que ciertos programas “aterrizan” en 5 barrios de alta vulnerabilidad de la ciudad de Barcelona. A través de una estrategia de análisis cualitativo, busca captar posibles brechas entre lo que las políticas se proponen, y las realidades de los territorios en los que las intervenciones tienen lugar. Finalment…
Methodology for the Detection of Residential Vulnerable Areas – the Case of Barcelona
In a context of a shifting environmental, economic and social paradigm, European cities face a situation that is at the same time challenge and opportunity: the need for urban rehabilitation of the vulnerable degraded socio residential fabric. Public administrations in big cities and metropolitan areas are confronted with both the undercurrent need of actualization of the built stock and the rise of urban residential vulnerability. The city of Ba…
