Além do habitar: proposta de habitação social responsiva para a cidade de Barreiras - BA

Abstract

The accelerated and unplanned urbanization process in Brazil has resulted in housing challenges that directly affect the quality of life of low-income populations, especially in medium-sized cities such as Barreiras-BA. This study proposes an architectural solution for social housing (HIS) in the city, considering key aspects such as infrastructure, location, integration with the urban fabric, and the potential for housing expansion. The proposal aims not only to ensure the right to adequate housing but also to promote social inclusion and the improvement of urban conditions in the surrounding area. To support this, existing housing projects, public policies, and the current state of HIS in the city were analyzed. This study seeks to contribute with guidelines for future projects that can effectively meet the needs of the population and promote a better quality of life for low-income communities.
