- Abstract
- The renovation of commercial façades is one of the most visible measures taken within the framework of public policies in order to revitalize the city centres. The objective of these public policies is to revive and recover the image of the original centre. This paper focuses on the central perimeter of Bauru, a city located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The main action involved in this process was the renovation of the façades of the retail stores (Municipal Law 4951/02). This project involved approximately 240 establishments between the years of 2003 and 2005. In order to assess the result of this work, the state of a hundred of the renovated façades was analysed at three different stages degree of preservation was classified. It was shown that due to lack of maintenance on the part of the traders and lack of incentive on the part of the public policies, many of the façades that had been renovated as part of the initial program were degrading, counteracting the whole object of the work.
