Abstract

Urban regeneration is a field in which data-driven methods have proven their usefulness both for needs analysis and for the simulation of actions. After summarising the current situation in Spain in this respect, this article presents the methodological approaches of successive works developed in this field in the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León, as well as the fundamentals of a method called "Neighbourhood Information Model" (NIM) aimed at the pre-evaluation of urban regeneration actions, based on the use of open data and its processing through simple procedures using commonly used software in the fields of Geographic Information Systems and Building Information Modelling. Although these premises impose the limitations currently inherent to methods that renounce to complex data treatment processes and to the generation of ad hoc technological or computer tools, its usefulness is noted to characterise the regeneration needs of urban fabrics and to evaluate possible intervention actions in defined areas from a comparative approach.
