Donceles: Community Regeneration Project encompasses a series of interventions in a neighborhood marked by significant socioeconomic contrasts. Through new housing schemes and the revitalization of public spaces, the project aims to increase housing density and repurpose underutilized land in a degradation process. The main goal is to construct sustainable buildings that foster integration, emphasize social engagement, and have a positive impact both locally and globally. This approach also aims to prevent the displacement of the original residents in order to dispel the specter of gentrification, which has affected other central areas in our cities. Additionally, it seeks to increase urban density and compactness by regenerating a neighborhood heavily affected by urban sprawl through the provision of high-quality domestic, commercial, urban, and social spaces.

The project aligns with the vision of creating a more inclusive city for all, stressing the importance of equitable access to urban amenities and services. By focusing on creating well-designed and accessible spaces, it aims to enhance residents’ overall quality of life, fostering a sense of community and belonging. It also aims to create a model for sustainable urban development that will be replicable in other areas, thus contributing to the broader goal of creating cities that are not only livable, but also socially and environmentally sustainable.
