In recent years, changes in the real estate market have allowed the rise of adaptive reuse, that is, the reuse of existing buildings or infrastructure to give a new use to historic properties. Today on the CREA blog we will talk about this trend and the value it can bring to cities in the long term.<\/p>\n
