The norm is contextualized in the framework Next Generation Recovery Fund It will mobilize 750,000 million euros approved by the Council of Europe on 21 July, which will be used to reduce the socioeconomic impact caused by the pandemic.
Currently, the Community of Valencia lacks an adequate legal regime to manage rehabilitation, renewal and urban revitalization processes that go beyond just urban dimensions and include a comprehensive vision for all areas of life.
Therefore, this preliminary draft of the Neighborhood Law is a regulatory structure guaranteeing the right of all people to enjoy a safe, sustainable, inclusive and universally accessible environment that promotes personal advancement, social and gender cohesion, and cultural identity.

Rehabilitation
Consell is aware of the phenomenon of urban deprivation and it is a problem shared by all. public policyconsiders that urban rehabilitation, renewal and revitalization should be priority objectives of the urban strategy for Valencian municipalities in the 21st century.
In particular, where there are processes of abandonment, obsolescence or degradation of the built heritage and urban fabric, or where large segments of the population foreclosure risk due to unemployment, insufficient income, gender, ethnicity, age, disability or other social vulnerability factors.
It should be noted that in the Community of Valencia there are suburban areas experiencing deep social contradictions due to the dominant urban development pattern and inadequate planning in settlements. Therefore, they experience the consequences of overcrowding, symptoms of segregation, marginalization, and developmental dysfunctions.
In the same sense, the health crisis caused by Kovid-19, inefficiency of cities To deal with the problems that exist today.
Likewise, another feature occurring in the Valencian Community is a complex network of medium-sized cities organized around valuable historical centers that are repositories of collective identity. Beginning in 1950, dense residential areas with poor construction quality were built around it.
After a period in which large housing estates were directly promoted, housing boom With official conservation and development projects of the state.
All of this coexisted with its emergence. outskirts Of the subdivisions, often self-built by residents, that have received special attention since 1979 and have been extensively renovated.
Therefore, public intervention cannot be limited to mere intervention. remedial or urbanizing action and global action is needed through the integration of social, economic and environmental strategies and the implementation of real governance in favor of the settled population.
