Considering that the vast majority of housing stock existing in 2011 will be used to satisfy residential needs in the year 2020 and beyond, ecological urban regeneration appears clearly as the key issue in relation to global urban sustainability for the most part of this century. Thus, if the 1992 Rio Summit identied the urban environment as the main arena where the global environmental crisis should be fought, 20 years later we must emphasize that it is mainly to the real cities and territories around us now where we should address our attention

This paper explores the urban rehabilitation projects promoted by the Spanish Government between 1992 and 2012 through housing plans. The analysis is based on the comparison of programmes and estimations gathered in these plans with actual housing production within this period in order to find the connection between sectoral housing planning and real estate cycles in these last twenty years. During the period under review, six state housing plans, that were mainly focused on the promotion of newly-constructed state-subsidised housing, were developed, including the Areas of Integrated Rehabilitation programmes (ARI programmes). In spite of the relevance and growing complexity of these programmes, these played a subsidiary role in the government housing policy and were insignificant regarding the whole real estate production in this period.

Resumo Em resposta aos desafios atuais de muitas grandes cidades, o contexto institucional e o planeamento territorial formam dimenses para melhorar a governao metropolitana. No quadro das regies capitais do sudoeste europeu, quais podero ser as inovaes e diferenas nos seus modelos e processos em curso? Este artigo prope uma investigao aplicada para apresentar a anlise da governao metropolitana. Atravs do mtodo de estudos de caso em perspectiva comparada, vrios elementos e entrevistas so ponderados qualitativamente nas regies de Madrid, Barcelona, Paris e Lisboa. As concluses encontram uma tendncia para o equilbrio entre os esforos dessas duas dimenses da governao territorial metropolitana, no impedindo registrar os seus diferentes percursos: por exemplo Ile-de-France desenvolveu boas iniciativas em matria de planeamento, que ento pedem alguns ajustamentos no quadro poltico, enquanto Madrid teve menos actividade nos ltimos anos, em resultado da sua grande estabilidade institucional. A regio de Lisboa permanece talvez numa posio intermdia, com uma dinmica de evoluo pouco previsvel. Mas de acordo com este argumento, admite-se que os seus processos podem levar a melhorias graduais no sistema de governao, com o seu prprio percurso, implementando aces que devem respeitar, em particular, a geografia do territrio. Abstract Addressing the running challenges of several greater cities, the institutional mark and regional planning are dimensions for improving metropolitan governance. Regarding the southwest European capital regions, what can be the innovations and differences in their currently processes and models? This paper proposes an applied framework to present the metropolitan governance analysis. Through a comparative case study methodology, various elements and interviews are qualitatively measured in the regions of Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and Lisbon. The conclusions find a tendency to balance between the efforts on those two regional metropolitan governance dimensions, which does not prevent to register their different paths: for example Ile-de-France has developed good initiatives in terms of planning, which then require some adjustments in the political mark, while Madrid had in recent years less activity, in result of his institutional stability. The Lisbon region maybe stays in an intermediate position with a dynamic evolution that is difficult to predict. But according to that argument, its possible to admit that his processes can gradually lead to small improvements in his governance system, with his own path, implementing actions that must respect, in particularly, the geography of the territory.
