“…At the Small scale, pioneering attempts at the implementation of Masoveria Urbana stand. They consisted of a proposal from Associació Dret a Sostre to find a solution to both the reuse of empty residential buildings and the housing issue by means of a contract where the owner assigns the right to use and enjoy the property in exchange for certain repairs or renovations to the property in question, which can be complemented with a more affordable rent than the market price [39]. Indeed, this defined a very attractive and innovative regulatory framework, although only a single contract was signed for the reuse and refurbishment of one commercial premise for two years.…”

(English) This research deepens in the knowledge of the processes and changing dynamics of cities from the perspective of their resilience. The thesis proposes as object the processes of regeneration and transformation of former industrial environments of Mataró as a case study. According to its complex and adaptive nature of the urban system, the heuristics of Socio-ecological Resilience, Adaptive Cycle and Panarchy provide a conceptual and analytical framework that allows us to approach the dynamic and changing functioning of built environments. Thus, feedback processes, spatial and temporal interaction of subsystems, non-linearity of events, emergence, innovation and self-organization appear as key factors of urban processes. From the results, we assimilate the transformation process of the old industrial sectors with the Adaptive Cycle identifying, in addition, the traps (Traps) and ailments (Ailments) that appear in each of them and the different response capacity of the urban system at different scales. Thus, in Article 1 the void is the symptom of the friction between the rigidity of urban planning and the changing urban reality. Article 2 shows the capacity of socially based processes to dynamize industrial environments through interaction with the rest of the subsystems of the urban system. In this sense, the social subsystem appears, at the same time, as a sink (Remember) and trigger (Revolt) of urban dynamics, taking advantage of windows of opportunity through innovation and learning. Finally, in article 3 we characterize the (disused) built stock as a reservoir of latent urban resilience at the architectural scale. A pantry of adaptive capacity (potential) that is released from the interaction with social demand (performance) through the formal and functional adaptation of spaces and as a result of the analysis of this process of socio-spatial interpretation. (Español) Esta investigación profundiza en los procesos y dinámicas cambiantes de las ciudades desde la perspectiva de su capacidad resiliente. La tesis plantea como objeto los procesos de regeneración y transformación de antiguos entornos industriales de Mataró como caso de estudio. Según su la naturaleza compleja y adaptativa del sistema urbano, la heurística de la Resiliencia Socio-ecológica, del Ciclo Adaptativo y de la Panarquía proporcionan un marco conceptual y analítico que nos permite aproximarnos al funcionamiento dinámico y cambiante de los entornos construidos. Así, los procesos de retroalimentación, la interacción espacial y temporal de los subsistemas, la no-linealidad de los acontecimientos, la emergencia, la innovación y la autoorganización aparecen como factores clave de los procesos urbanos. A partir de los resultados, asimilamos el proceso de transformación de los antiguos sectores industriales con el Ciclo Adaptativo identificando, además, las trampas (Traps) y dolencias (Ailments) que aparecen en cada una de ellas y la distinta capacidad de respuesta del sistema urbano a distintas escalas. Así, en el Artículo 1 el vacío es el síntoma de la fricción entra la rigidez de la planificación urbanística y la realidad urbana cambiante. El Artículo 2 evidencia la capacidad de los procesos de base social para dinamizar los entornos industriales a partir de la interacción con el resto de los subsistemas del sistema urbano. En este sentido, el subsistema social aparece, a la vez, como receptáculo (Remember) y promotor (Revolt) de las dinámicas urbanas, aprovechando las ventanas de oportunidad (window of opportunity) mediante la innovación y el aprendizaje. Por último, en el artículo 3 caracterizamos a escala arquitectónica el stock edificado (en desuso) como un depósito de resiliencia urbana latente. Una despensa de capacidad adaptativa (potential) que se libera a partir de la interacción con la demanda social (performance) a través de la adaptación formal y funcional de los espacios y como resultado del análisis de este proceso de interpretación socioespacial.

Social housing in Spain has its origin in the first Cheap Houses Law that was promulgated in 1911, trying to provide a solution to a housing need for the working class who flocked to the cities in waves of migration from rural areas. Since then, legislative initiatives have been taking place to mitigate the housing problem. Each one of them was contributing elements that presumably contributed to the hygiene and habitability of the house without forgetting the economic conditions. At the moment, in Spain there is a large real estate park inherited from these initiatives. In many cases, these are neighborhoods that currently show notable energy and social vulnerability. Aware of the need to adapt these homes to the regulatory requirements related to energy efficiency, comfort and the physical and technical characteristics of the construction, the Research Centers are developing multiple investigations aimed at favoring the adaptability of homes and improving the quality of life of its inhabitants. This article takes a tour of the evolution that social housing has had during the 20th century in Spain and the current state of research aimed at adapting it to the new energy, habitability and sustainability requirements.
