To foster specific actions for high density urban areas guaranteeing affordable housing within a city model of integrated mixed uses

Dense urban areas carry huge scope for regeneration, densification and re-planning of disused land; however, in these locations the challenge of affordability is even greater. Steering away from the segregated mass housing models of former times, it is appropriate to commit to the implementation of innovative measures which, for instance, favour changes of use of empty ground floor premises and apartments to create new homes, while ensuring a balance of a mixed, walkable city with local shops. Moreover, is it essential to lay out a new clear and efficient regulation for the classification of apartments for tourist use in legal, tax and urban development terms.
