The execution of this project, which includes the rehabilitation of the two phases, will initially focus on urgent accessibility interventions and essential structural improvements in the buildings. Subsequently, the renovation of facilities, pavements and the rehabilitation of common areas will be undertaken. As explained by the Councillor for Housing, Lucía Jiménez, “theThe works will basically consist of rehabilitating the structure of the buildings, the facades, as well as waterproofing the roofs, renovating the sanitation and electricity, changing the lighting and pavements inside the developments, and above all improving accessibility by installing ramps and elevators in all buildings.".
