1) Definition

Coordinated repair of multiple buildings’ exteriors, roofs and street surfaces to restore street perspective and pedestrian experience. Existing structures stay; intervention focuses on shells and public space—not maximising FAR like Law 6306 renewal. Bulk heritage applications may treat the whole street as one file set.

2) Façade to Streetscape

Typical works: stone or timber façade repair, roof tiles, gutters, street paving, lighting and signage harmony. Interior work is optional. Reference drawings lock palette and window rhythm along the street so one restored house does not break the silhouette.

3) Process and Board Approval

Street survey, restoration project and protection-board approval for listed fabric. Bulk applications need per-parcel files plus a street map at 1/500 or 1/1000. Owner agreement on scaffolding sequence and cost sharing is social infrastructure.

4) Local Economy: Güdül Example

Historic towns like Güdül show how street rehabilitation boosts tourism and local trade while keeping stone-house character. Plan post-completion maintenance, control ad clutter and link cultural routes to the renewed streetscape.

5) Not Full Urban Renewal

Urban renewal targets risky buildings, demolition and density. Rehabilitation targets conservation and street identity. Hybrid neighbourhoods need height and silhouette coordination between both tracks on adjacent parcels.

6) Grants and Finance

Heritage assistance rules may offer higher ratios for street/doku bulk applications. Municipal and EU grants sometimes co-fund; align budgets with ministry unit prices and owner contribution schedules.

7) Common Mistakes

Restoring one façade in isolation, unapproved materials, demolition thinking in protected streets and skipping owner sequencing protocols undermine the whole street investment.

8) Conclusion

Street rehabilitation is conservation at street scale—distinct from demolish-rebuild renewal. Contact our restoration and design teams for your historic street project.
