RT Journal Article T1 Four temptations against urban renewel: an approach to fur current urban processes A1 Rosa-Jiménez, Carlos A1 Márquez-Ballesteros, María José A1 Martin-Bravo, Pedro K1 Rehabilitación urbana AB The new paradigm of urban social and economic rehabilitation is replacing thecurrent sprawl growth model. But four temptations must be considered:1) The high-density. This process is possible in sprawl model, but its quantification does notseem to be clear, because after a certain threshold of occupancy per unit area, the city seems tocollapse and social and environmental benefits disappear, appearing reversal processes city tocountry in search of a minimum quality of life standards. There is not a model for appropriatedensity. It depends on the way of life of population, the traditional city model.2) The replacement. Architectonic and urban rehabilitation must be preferred to replacement,except for certain cases to be legally taxed. But as the city cannot be densified and orderly,without the prior replacement of the building, may fit this temptation. Even replacing thebuilding can be made without considering high building standards3) The gentrification. There is a wide doctrine and experience about this phenomenon withserious social consequences. It is very tempting to replace the building, due to improverequirement of broad levels of quality, entering a game of speculation, so common in our realestate market.4) The eco-city. Comprehensive projects are building spaces with low levels of energyconsumption. Fall into this temptation means to continue the extensive city model we have beendeveloping, creating new cities far from the existing but incorporating saving measures, andcontinuing resource consumption YR 2013 FD 2013 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10630/5631 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10630/5631 LA eng NO Comunicación presentada en 25 European Network housing Research International Conference.
