What is Rés do Chão?
Rés do Chão (Ground-floor) is an urban rehabilitation and renewal
project. Its main goal is the revitalization and stimulation of cities
through the reoccupation and rehabilitation of vacant groundfloor spaces. The project began in 2013 and won an award by the
Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation under the FAZ – Ideias de Origem
Portuguesa initiative; since 2014, it functions with the support of the
BIP-ZIP program of the Lisbon City Hall.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
What issue does it aim to solve?
Rés do Chão recognized a persistent issue on Portuguese urban
environments: the vacating of commercial ground-floor spaces. This
situation has lead to the degradation of buildings and public space,
as well as to the abandonment of streets and the loss of street life
dynamics.

What is our strategy?
Rés do Chão intends to create a network that comprises the
owners of vacant ground-floor spaces, potential tenants and local
associations, promoting the occupation of these spaces through
models of shared letting agreements and systems of temporary
occupation, thereby creating sustainable rehabilitation alternatives.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Where is the project being implemented?
Rés do Chão is being implemented in the Misericórdia parish, in
Lisbon, an area that encloses a number of streets affected by the
closing of shops and the vacating of ground-floor spaces.
Since 2014, it has worked on Rua do Poço dos Negros, Rua Poiais de
São Bento and Rua de São Bento.
