Current housing usually have little life, this due to the lack of adequate infrastructure, as well as the little knowledge regarding the social conditions of those who live in cities, especially in Latin America.

Location
Aravena It proposes to improve the location of the land, instead of trying to give more space. That is, we must grant the necessary meters, but in the appropriate areas so that those who access the houses do not have a home at endless costs for distances, location and space. It is much better to have a functional house in easily accessible spaces, than a huge, but segregated home of work spaces, education sites and even entertainment areas.

Urban set design
Let's think about the neighborhood units that have been built in Mexico City, as those called CTM; Or, the Tlatelolco units and their three sections. They are beneficial for the capitalists, to function as habitable spaces according to size and location, in addition, there are common areas that remain forgotten. The design plan proposed Alejandro Aravena It is that the areas in which people live and live, that nobody appropriates them since they are a social catalyst is still created. The truth is that although it is preserved in order and in good condition through a third party, this environment is essential for the Housing Valuation.
