Inner-city redevelopment special plan

The inner-city redevelopment special plan remains the standard instrument for renewing urban fabric across much of Spain. In Catalonia its role is taken by the urban improvement plan.

What's included

• Planning and social assessment of the redevelopment area.
• New arrangement of building volumes, alignments, uses and open space.
• Delivery provisions and definition of implementation units.
• Economic and financial appraisal and viability study.
• Rehousing and return of resident population where applicable.
• Processing under the applicable regional planning legislation.

When you need it

• You are working in a municipality outside Catalonia where this is the instrument in force.
• A neighbourhood or run-down area needs renewal with rehousing of residents.
• The general plan defers the area to an inner-city redevelopment plan.

How we work

We first check the regional planning legislation: the instrument and its documentary content vary significantly.
