Inrede Notebooks - Urban Centers & Housing/ Cadernos Inrede - Centros Urbanos

Urban regeneration in central areas is familiar, but many challenges remain and are renewed in the 21st-century city planning scenario. It is, therefore, a topic that is still evolving, as the publication itself makes clear, and one that fosters the demand for many more exchanges to advance the urban regeneration of central areas.
The publication Cadernos InREDE is being prepared for launch at the World Urban Forum. It is a collection of experiences from important Brazilian cities. They are starting to address the challenges of urban regeneration in the central area. This publication is organized by the Brazilian Network of Planning Institutes (InREDE), supported and co-created by UN-Habitat, German cooperation and the Ministry of Cities.
The shared perspective presents programs and projects that have been developed and implemented by the municipal public sector, presenting their results and challenges. It is an excellent opportunity to promote exchange on municipal public management in the redevelopment of urban spaces. The common challenge in all the proposals is the desire to strengthen and reactivate housing in central urban areas. To guarantee the mixed use of existing historic buildings and minimize the impact of the climate crisis, consider the importance of reusing existing buildings that have historical and cultural value but can also play a fundamental role in the urban dynamics of central city areas.
The launch of this publication at the World Urban Forum opens up the possibility of an international dialog to exchange experiences between different actors on the most diverse continents on how to deal with the challenge of urban regeneration in central areas.
