Urban Renewal: Transforming Spaces into Modern, Functional Environments
Urban renewal transforms deteriorated areas into modern, functional spaces, improving the quality of life for residents.
In this blog, we’ll discuss the features of VIS (Vivienda de Interés Social) Urban Renewal housing, its benefits, and how it differs from traditional Social Interest Housing.
