Reabilitação urbana: o estudo de Coimbra na identificação dos fatores de adesão dos atores privados a reabilitação do edificado em Portugal

Abstract

Portugal, as well as other countries in the west, obtained in urban expansion a strong threat to heritage and its historic center, due to its relationship with degradation. This made the country's public authorities look for urban rehabilitation as a way to respond to this problem. However, the process as we know it today in Portugal, with proactive participation by the private actor, is a product of two decades. Several authors and the Portuguese press attribute this movement to the public incentives that have been implemented. This dissertation starts from this idea and carries out an investigation with the private actor seeking to interpret his adhesion to the rehabilitation process. Finally, a discussion is held on the factors that may explain its performance and the weight of public incentives in urban rehabilitation.
