Social Housing, Upgrading, Requalification, Social cost, RetrofitAbstract
Social Housing (SH) upgrading is globally recommended, primarily through mandatory upgrading programmes. Most upgrading programmes address energy efficiency and measures to mitigate climate change through deep invasive processes. However, upgrading programmes should expand beyond energy efficiency, particularly in developing countries, as a way to mitigate social cost linked to the SHs. Our study seeks to identify opportunities concerning the execution of upgrading. Improvements through a non-mandatory upgrading process for a specific SH example, the “Residential Quilombo” in the city of Campinas, are presented. The study uses an exploratory-descriptive approach. Results highlight the importance of requalifying SH through upgrading with practical implications, especially in Brazil. Participatory processes are indicated to empower users with information and to define priorities to improve the quality of life and well-being of people.
