“"This request responds to the current situation of the residential market in the city, which leads rental demand in the Valencian Community and which, in recent years, has been experiencing strong demographic growth, with more than 78,000 inhabitants, a population development that increases pressure on housing."
The mayor of Paterna, Juan Antonio Sagredo, highlighted that the declaration as a stressed area not only acknowledges the current situation but also entails the obligation to design a specific action plan with concrete measures aimed at correcting the imbalance between supply and demand, especially in the rental market.
Sagredo noted that Paterna is a dynamic and continuously growing city, and this declaration will allow the implementation of price containment mechanisms and incentives, with special emphasis on large property owners. The goal is to promote lower rental prices and facilitate access to housing, especially for young people and families.
With this declaration, and although housing competence is regional, the City Council seeks to implement concrete solutions through an integral housing plan that reinforces measures being promoted by the council. These include the new Municipal Housing Office and the development of new protected housing promotions, with more than 2,000 Publicly Protected Homes (VPP) projected on the grounds of the former Daoiz y Velarde barracks.
“"From the Paterna City Council, we will continue to promote all necessary initiatives to ensure that our city remains an accessible place to live, work, and be happy."
