The paper, considering the difficulties encountered in the application of the reward-based mechanisms by local governments, intends to reformulate the problem of urban retrofit by applying a planning approach based on property rights, in particular according to the Property Rights Theory. The article traces the theoretical discussion about the development rights as a policy tool, discussing possible ways of regulating and structuring the market, the mix of urban governance and the conditions necessary for the operation of a system aimed at refurbishing the city without the use of public resources.

Keywords: Development rights; existing buildings; energy efficiency.
