A model to prioritise sustainable urban regeneration in vulnerable areas using SWOT and CAME methodologies

This work proposes a model for decision-making support to help Administrations undertake urban regeneration and refurbishment by prioritising vulnerable neighbourhoods buildings. In order suggest measures in areas, the SWOT analysis is proposed identifying determining factors of vulnerability. permits information be arranged into categories obtain multiperspective diagnosis. The complementary CAME methodology completes above Correct Weaknesses, Adapt Threats, Maintain existent Strengths Explore detected Opportunities. combination these methodologies, scarcely used before regeneration, has proven useful suggesting general guidelines complex contexts, which environments are, where physico-social conditions clearly interrelate. Thus specific Challenges can suggested later materialised through Lines Action adapted needs studied area. When considering buildings an area, they present distinct ages, typologies, structural constructive features, so solutions cannot standardised. work’s proposal intervene social housing municipal property that representative results are presented on practical datasheets, summarised economically estimated. replicated different contexts adjusting features areas. city Castellón was selected as empirical case validate model.
