To foster specific actions for the countryside as part of the overall strategy to repopulate empty areas

Unlike dense urban areas, the countryside has undergone depopulation in recent decades. To achieve greater regional balance and ease the pressures on denser urban areas, it is necessary to promote the construction of social housing units to home families and young people in smaller settlements needing repopulation. This can be done by strategically distributing affordable apartments and introducing tax incentives for the refurbishment and recovery of country house estates. It is hugely important for these local housing plans to be programmed in coordination with the construction and delivery of the necessary public service infrastructure (in terms of education, health, etc.) in order to receive the new community.
