The programme involves researchers, local authorities, institutions, professionals and associations. It addresses thermal renovation, bioclimatic solutions, energy efficiency and health risks, with attention to vulnerable populations.

The event is announced as part of the seventh National Sustainable Cities Week. Available information describes its programme and aim of connecting research with territorial action. It does not yet establish adopted conclusions, new funding or works decided during the forum. The association’s announcement therefore does not amount to a record of housing improvements already measured.
