- Abstract
This research analyses sustainability issues in six social housing projects in the city of Palmira (South-West Colombia) considering three main components: environmental efficiency, sustainability, and comfort. This research has a mixed character, integrating quantitative and qualitative elements with a descriptive component, to establish parameters that allow the proposal of comprehensive urban development projects, based on the concept of habitat. Additionally, three perspectives were determinant for the development of this research: an architectonic, urban and regional perspective, focused on technical and technological parameters; an environmental perspective, focused on biotic elements; and a cultural and social perspective, considering the population and its relationship with particular spaces.
