Abstract

Introduction: Through the accelerated growth of Latin American cities in recent decades, civil construction has increased considerably, as has the demand for social housing, especially in medium-sized cities, aimed at improving the quality of life. Objective: This study is to compare the characteristics of social housing projects in Passo Fundo (Brazil) and Tunja (Colombia), highlighting aspects such as their location, areas/cost and materiality. Methodology: The cities were selected as objects of study due to their similarities, specifically the concentration of income and the absence of housing projects that serve the most suffering population, preventing the expansion of their capabilities. This topic is part of the project: Resilient Design Strategies applying clean technologies to social life in Brazil and Colombia (year 3 - phase 4), developed between Atitus Educação and Universidad Católica de Colombia. For this, three methodological steps were proposed: geolocation, area/cost analysis and materiality analysis, which allowed, in addition to identifying relevance and singularities, to discuss its potential for resilience to climate change. Results: it was found that the general panorama of social housing in Latin American intermediate cities is similar; However, there are some differences in terms of costs versus areas. Likewise, it was observed that materials with low environmental impact are not being used for the construction of social housing in the study sites, despite the growing attempt to achieve more sustainable projects in the region. Conclusions: This situation is mainly due to the predominant economic interests of construction companies and, in turn, to the low interest in innovation on the part of these countries.
