“…The calculation methodology applied to the Casa Azul Label evaluation process has allowed an objective reading of the degree of importance of the environmental indicators identified in Laura Molina SH, in addition to giving flexibility to the certification. [34] presents adaptability as the most important primary characteristic regarding the application of sustainability assessment methods. Thus, regarding the weights, it is possible to understand that they are associated with the reading of impacts in an equivalent manner to the degree of identified relevance in the project, with the category "water management", which is the least collaborative for the sustainability potential of the weighted neighborhood 3.8%.…”

The sustainability potential of Brazilian social housing (SH) needs to be assessed, considering the impacts on the population’s quality of life and urban systems. One of the main weaknesses of Casa Azul Label refers to the absence of a procedure that quantifies the measures for assessing urban sustainability. Based on the post-occupation analysis of an SH project implemented in Araraquara, São Paulo state, Brazil, evaluation of urban sustainability was developed, using a multi-method approach combining the Casa Azul Label and Sustainable Building Tool (SBTool) Urban certification tools. It was proposed to apply the calculations established in SBTool Urban according to the Casa Azul Label certification requirements, as well as insert a national benchmark as a reference for the analysis and normalizing results. These procedures made it possible to base an improvement framework on a Brazilian environmental certification system, including a quantification system to evaluate the efficiency of the applied measures regarding urban sustainability. The multi-method approach, associated with the SBTool Urban procedures, could significantly help to improve the application of a sustainable assessment system in social housing in developing countries. The high number of residential units produced in recent years could be qualitatively evaluated, improving both the construction procedures and the criteria for the urban insertion of human settlements.

“…The growing attention to the sustainability of cities influenced the policies and practice of their renewal. The search for new methods to revitalize degraded urban areas in a sustainable way has led to the creation of the concept of a sustainable revival of cities (Korkmaz, Balaban, 2020). After all, it is mistaken to think that while revitalizing a city one can neglect the balancing of economic, social and environmental interests, focusing solely on the achievement of short-term results.…”

The article substantiates the essence and necessity of the use of innovative approaches to the formation and implementation of public policies of urban revitalization in the context of the latest concepts of urban development, namely: Compact City, Green City, Smart City, Creative City, Inclusive City, Cittaslow, Happy City, Learning City. The relevant proposals on the innovation policy of revitalizing cities are brought forward based on the analysis of the provisions of each of the chosen concepts. It is determined that there does not exist a single city where only one of the latest concepts of city development was implemented. In practice, we observe the multi-vectorness and combination of urban policies, which came to replace traditional sectoral views. Regarding the policy of urban revitalization, innovative approaches focus on the transformation of degraded areas into urban environments favourable for human life and activities in line with the needs and interests of their inhabitants. Revitalization should be considered both in terms of its impact on a specific degraded area and as having long-term synergetic effects on the city as a whole. It was found that the basis for innovative policies of urban revitalization is laid by human-oriented programmes of sustainable renewal of areas. The programmes are premised on taking into account a variety of concepts and combining a number of activities, specifically: organization of a compact multifunctional environment (Compact City); formation of an ecologically friendly environment for human life and activities (Green City); arrangement of urban space taking advantage of modern technologies and innovations (Smart City); creating conditions for life, activities and cooperation of creative people (Creative City); ensuring a full-fledged multidimensional inclusion of all the inhabitants (Inclusive City); realization of the internal potential of an area depending on local identity (Cittaslow); raising the level of public and individual happiness (Happy City); promotion of the culture of lifelong learning of all the inhabitants (Learning City). It is noted that innovative solutions for overcoming the crisis phenomena of degraded urban areas should be individualized depending on the local specificity and potential, the state of economic, physical, human and other capital of a particular city. In this case, the development of human capital of an area is increasingly becoming the key factor of its renewal, which presupposes organization of the inhabitants’ training, improving their qualifications and skills. It was substantiated that the revitalization policy is expedient to develop from the perspective of ensuring multiplicative impact on the development of a city as a whole. The efficiency of the policy implementation depends on the leveraging of resources (financial, intellectual, etc.) from different sources through partnerships. The main criterion of policy effectiveness is the ability of a revitalized urban area to develop sustainably, satisfying the needs of all stakeholders. Indicators of the policy success is not only the living standards and quality of life of the inhabitants, but also the condition of the natural environment, levels of tolerance, trust, empathy, social cohesion, education, happiness, etc.

The concepts of "sustainability" and "resilience" have become current issues with the emergence of problems such as industrialization, population growth, rapid consumption of resources, and the climate crisis in recent years. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic experience all over the world has also revealed that urban areas where people live extremely together must be planned and transformed in a sustainable and resilient manner. Urban regeneration projects are among the most frequently used tools in the reorganization of urban areas, renewal of aging urban structures. Also, urban regeneration projects are expected to make a significant contribution to designing more sustainable and resilient urban areas. However, in Turkey, it is observed that private property and urban rent issues can be a pressure factor in the re-planning of public and non-public areas in urban regeneration projects. For this reason, private property rights and limits should be determined accurately in urban regeneration projects and new urbanization models. In this paper, it is discussed how private property and urban rent can be handled in urban regeneration according to housing and population densities, what their limitations can be, and how they should be included in legal regulations.
