Obtainment of voids

The third step in the strategy is to make sure that there is a temporary or permanent change in the plot that is going to be filled. This requires the conjugation of two simultaneous procedures.

We must take full advantage of all the legal instruments currently available in the City Council to obtain plot in consolidated tissues.

At the same time, it will be necessary to promote legal and planning changes to expand the current capacity of the consistory.

In the case of publicly owned urban voids - for example, municipal lots or installations and infrastructures - which is probably the most operative, it will be necessary to make compatible its urbanistic qualification with the insertion of units of inclusive repopulation, as well as to negotiate the transfer of occupancy rights if the land belongs to other administrations. In the case of private owned urban voids, the instruments of obtaining the land will have to conjugate a double attitude with respect to the owners, based on the restriction and the incentivation.

Through punitive measures - in case of bad practices - and compensatory ones - in the case of good will - it will be necessary to appeal to the owners of estates with voids available about the inherent social responsibility of the private property so that empty lots and buildings which do not exhaust their buildability, cede the available space in the centric and consolidated neighborhoods.
