The planning and management of urban regeneration interventions usually depend on the city and regional context. Although these interventions involve multiple issues and stakeholders, common characteristics can be identified, thus appealing for a holistic vision and coordination among the various dimensions of the problem. Based on the above context, and on the experience from a large-scale urban regeneration project, this article introduces an integrated methodology to support the planning and management of urban regeneration interventions. The methodology proposes a flexible baseline that can be adapted to urban regeneration projects of different contexts and dimensions, and defines steps, the corresponding stakeholders, and the teams\u2019 engagement, in an integrated framework to plan and oversee urban regeneration actions towards more sustainable and resilient interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su11154129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,31]],"date-time":"2019-07-31T11:37:07Z","timestamp":1564573027000},"page":"4129","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["A Case Study Driven Integrated Methodology to Support Sustainable Urban Regeneration Planning and Management"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6213-386X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduardo","family":"Natividade-Jesus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, 3030-199 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"INESCC\u2014Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5193-4896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arminda","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"CITTA Research Centre for Territory, Transports and Environment, 4200-465 OPorto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2681-5035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INESCC\u2014Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Sciences and Technologies, Open University, 1269-001 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9311-5584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Coutinho-Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INESCC\u2014Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers of Coimbra, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scs.2011.12.001","article-title":"The case for socially inclusive visioning in the community-based approach to sustainable urban regeneration","volume":"3","author":"Deakin","year":"2012","journal-title":"Sustain.
