REG EMILIA-ROMAGNA SOCIAL & AFFORDABLE HOUSING

The project involves the refurbishment of up to approximately 3,500 units—a figure that will be finalised based on the implementation activities carried out by the Emilia-Romagna Region.

The primary objective of the operation is to address the growing demand for affordable housing among individuals who are unable to access adequate accommodation—particularly in urban areas across the Emilia-Romagna Region. In addition to expanding housing availability, the initiative aims to enhance living conditions for local residents, improve the appeal of urban spaces, and elevate the quality of surrounding architecture.
