Social Cost analysis to support Social Housing Upgrading processes

Social Costs (SCs) are costs incurred on society due the impacts of built environment [1][2]. The research project aims to identify SCs associated with Social Housing (SH), develop actions to mitigate them, and also develop a protocol to guide SH upgrading programmes for applications in different contexts of SH. A systematic literature review was applied to identify SCs in SH, and develop actions to upgrading SHs. A case study is developed to evaluate SCs in residential Quilombo, Campinas-SP. Preliminary results evinced that mono-functional neighbourhood [3][4] and poor housing conditions need to be considered to mitigate SCs on SHs in urban, neighbourhood, housing and unit, scales.
