El diseño y desarrollo sostenible en complejos residenciales universitarios: un enfoque en el distrito Viikki de Helsinki, Finlandia

Abstract

Residential complexes are comprehensive projects that offer housing with the same finish, style and identity, along with private common areas. These are valued for the tranquility, comfort and security they provide to residents. A fundamental one is security, since these developments usually have advantageous protection measures. Residents of residential complexes contribute a monthly fee for the maintenance of streets, green areas, common areas, amenities and buildings, which contributes to the good condition of the shared facilities. In addition, there are sustainable residential complexes that use materials to regulate internal temperature, have deep water wells, solar panels and automated irrigation systems, which encourage saving resources and money. The opportunity to socialize and establish friendships with neighbors is another advantage, allowing residents to be active members of the community and expand their social circle. These complexes are typically located in built-up areas, making it easier to access shopping, schools, financial institutions, and other essential services. Lastly, most residential complexes are strategically located near bus stations, highways and city access roads, improving connectivity. Internal rules are also established that guarantee order and tranquility in the residential environment. Residential complexes offer benefits that improve the quality of life of their residents.
