True to a vision of “Greater Porto,” Urban Rehabilitation Week debuts in Matosinhos with the support of the municipal councils of Matosinhos (host city), Vila Nova de Gaia, and Porto.
From the Palácio da Bolsa (Porto) to the Caves Ferreira (Vila Nova de Gaia), in 2025 Urban Rehabilitation Week will be held at the Casa da Arquitectura – Portuguese Architecture Center. Located at Av. Menéres 456, in Matosinhos, Casa da Arquitectura was born from the rehabilitation of the former Real Vinícola building, a project designed by architect Guilherme Machado Vaz and awarded the National Urban Rehabilitation Prize in 2018.
An iconic space for art and culture, Casa da Arquitectura will host the largest forum dedicated to the challenges of access to housing. From November 12 to 14, Casa da Arquitectura will be the “home” of Urban Rehabilitation Week.
There will be three days of conferences, debates, seminars, and workshops, spread across two stages, involving more than 100 speakers. From public housing policies to investment and the vision of private agents, Porto's Urban Rehabilitation Week presents financing solutions and models for creating affordable housing. It relaunches housing cooperatives and identifies areas of opportunity. It provides a stage for the construction sector, which is more industrialized and has new construction systems and processes capable of building more and faster.
There are many new features and reasons not to miss the 13th edition of PORTO URBAN REGENERATION WEEK. Check out the SCHEDULE and REGISTER online.
