Resumen de European programmes as a driving force for the transformationof cities: Study on their application in the Region of Murcia(Spain)
Over last thirty years, cities have become the main centres of population. Recent researchestimates that the concentration of population in cities accounts for 70% of the total European population, reaching 80% in some countries, including Spain. However, this increase in population density has led to associated environmental degradation. The Region of Murcia, in Spain, has specialcharacteristics in terms of climatology and orography that are generating increasingly extreme climates, causing serious deterioration for the territory and for the population. Throughout this work, a review will be made of the different European programmes that support with funding projects forthe transformation and regeneration of these urban environments, mainly considering aspects suchas sustainability and adaptation to climate change in order to achieve greater resilience.
