100 blocks of flats in Sector 3 to be renovated by 2026, with major benefits for seniors

Sector 3 City Hall has announced the completion of thermal rehabilitation and structural consolidation works at approximately 100 residential blocks by 2026 — an investment that will bring significant benefits to elderly residents across the district.

These interventions are particularly important for seniors who spend most of their time at home and are more vulnerable to temperature fluctuations. Given the frequent breakdowns in the district heating system and periods of low temperatures, thermal rehabilitation is becoming essential for maintaining a comfortable and safe living environment.

Experience from projects already completed shows that residents benefit from an approximately 40% reduction in energy bills following rehabilitation. For pensioners on limited incomes, these savings represent a substantial easing of monthly household expenses.

To date, the local authority has rehabilitated over 1,700 residential blocks, with the total set to exceed 1,800 once the current programme is finalised. Sector 3 thus maintains its position as the leading district in investment for improving residential housing stock.

Consolidation works without relocation — a key advantage for older residents

One important aspect of the programme is that structural consolidation works at 9 blocks will be carried out without relocating residents. This approach is particularly beneficial for seniors who would struggle to adapt to temporary accommodation, as well as for those with reduced mobility.

Through these investments, the local authority aims to increase the structural safety of buildings, reduce energy consumption, improve living conditions during extreme weather periods, and modernise the housing stock overall — measures that directly contribute to the quality of life of elderly people in the community.
