Abstract

Taking as much advantage as possible of the urban land is a basic principle for the sustainable development of the built environment. The urbanisation process carried out during the last decades has consumed a lot of cultivable land, generating extended cities, which need more infrastructure and where transportation distances have been increased. Despite the first ideas about the ecological city, most of the developed countries today are trying to make existing urban areas more densely built. However, the informal city (that seems to be the only possible solution for low income housing areas in developing countries) continues being low density and extensive, because of its managing and production process. Taking advantage of the urban land depends on the urban model and also, on the architectural typologies, but the main conditioning factor relating these two scales is the relationship between indoors and outdoors in order to achieve appropriate environmental conditions in interior spaces. On the other hand, housing building typologies are decisive in land use and densities, since they represent the major part of the buildings in the cities. The paper presents a methodological approach for urban models and architectural typologies (housing buildings) evaluation, taking into account parameters and indicators of their quality and economy, where land use and indoors environment are the main and contradictory variables studied. The research was developed for Havana city, located in a warm humid climatic region, and permitted to establish urban planning and architectural design indicator to get an appropriate use of the urban land, ensuring at the same time, adequate environmental conditions in housing interior spaces.
