This work aims to analyze the current state of social housing in Bogota to evaluate the quality of the spaces that compose it since there are currently no regulations that regulate or promote good architectural practices in the interior of housing in general. For this reason, the research focuses on this type of housing since it is the one that is most affected by this lack of regulation; since having a smaller budget, the quality and size of its spaces decrease significantly. In addition, most of its location is on the city’s outskirts or has few services around it, a situation that does not facilitate daily life in the neighbourhoods where it is developed. The method chosen to evaluate housing will be based on the gender perspective, taking into account the 2030 agenda, where goals 5 (gender equality) and 11 (sustainable communities and cities) apply to the work of architecture and, in this case, housing, understanding sustainability also as a gender issue. For this, the categories of analysis proposed by David H. Falagán in the book Qüestions d’Habitatge, 2019, will be taken as references, allowing a concrete evaluation of the social housing architecture currently being produced in Bogota. Some projects of eight construction companies will be taken from which analysis sheets will be made to classify, compare and obtain conclusions about the current state of the object of study. Finally, based on the results obtained, the aim is to have a clearer vision of the shortcomings and virtues of social housing in Bogotá and thus propose recommendations and possible starting guidelines for a future regulation applied to housing, which the city does not currently have.
