| Abstract | The transformation of decayed semi-peripheral riverside areas and its Tangible Culture Heritage is presented today as a contributing factor in urban regeneration by several public preservation bodies and agendas, as well as privately led investment. These practices demand the economic and symbolic valorization of abandoned Tangible Cultural Heritage, where the social coexistence of residents, workers and visitors is seen as a smoother urban integration of these deprived territories and their communities into the surrounding contemporary cities. We’ll focus our approach on socio-spatial changes occurring in Marvila and Beato, presented today as new urban areas in which to financially invest after the 2011 economic crisis occurred in Portugal, discussing public and private re-appropriation of Old Palaces, Convents and Farms and Reconverted Warehouses (industrial and commercial); towards the creation of a new urban centrality in Lisbon. In this case, public ground-field intervention established a culture led regeneration process, with the creation of a municipal library, a crucial point in the cultural use of this space, community participation and gathering. Dealing with private investors, despite the positive effects, such as a reduction in unemployment, economic diversification and re-use of urban voids, there is always the possibility of undesired consequences. This paper argues, and the research experiments in many European cities show us that the ambition to improve the image of these deprived areas, despite somGonzalex encouraging ground level achievements, has unwanted or unexpected outcomes, starting as urban regeneration practices, often sliding towards gentrification, where local public powers have a determinant role. © 2020, Russian Geographical Society.

Tangible cultural heritage re-appropriation towards a new urban centrality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We started our research in September till present times by collecting statistical information about the H ROCK project area using the maps app from the Portuguese National Statistical Board. This library as a cultural community and gathering space has several activities mostly oriented towards youngsters and their school activities and homework as well as a new technologies area that has computers to promote new learning experiences and capacities and possibly in the future to create a new IT hub with local promotors. As an illustrative case we must highlight the importance of the Abel Pereira da Fonseca warehouse once a sguare where industrial workers gathered today totally reconverted into upper class consumption. This change in the urban function ofTangible Cultural Heritage reproduces some of the initial steps of the traditional process of gentrification when economic promoters some of them from the artistic and cultural social spheres try to find socially meaningful territories with an important symbolic aura next to the city waterfront to locate their businesses.
