Abstract

RESUMEN: Las casas de vecindad ocupan una parte considerable del tejido urbano en zonas centrales de la ciudad de La Habana. A pesar de las transformaciones realizadas en distintos momentos, dichas
construcciones continúan presentando condiciones de habitabilidad altamente inadecuadas. Este trabajo sirve de base a una investigación que se interesa por las transformaciones a ser realizadas en diferentes
barrios de la ciudad para el mejoramiento de esta tipología edilicia. Su objetivo principal es la definición de aspectos significativos para su solución, a partir de un estudio de publicaciones anteriores que exploran
su desarrollo histórico, las clasificaciones adoptadas, las características tipológicas y las tendencias en los procesos de transformación. Las conclusiones revelan que los estudios para el mejoramiento de las casas
de vecindad deben tener en cuenta aspectos urbanos, socio-culturales y de habitabilidad arquitectónica.

ABSTRACT: Tenement housing occupies a considerable part of the urban matrix in central areas of the city of Havana. Despite transformations carried out at different times, such buildings keep exhibiting highly inadequate living conditions. The present study forms the basis for
an investigation that is concerned with transformations to be undertaken in this type of buildings in different neighborhoods of the city. Our aim is to define significant conditions for proposing solutions, based on a review
of previous publications that explore their historical development, the types of classification adopted, the principal typological characteristics, and the trends in the processes of transformation. We conclude that any
study that aims at improving the conditions of tenement housing must consider essential issues such as urban conditions, socio-cultural context, and architectural habitability.
