This fact demands infrastructure works that, sometimes, fail because they are in the periphery of the cities. Social housing projects are facing this reality, which in the case of Buenaventura (Colombia), which although they are responding to cover the quantitative housing deficit, have not incorporated social aspects related to the impact on comfort and convenience. of the beneficiaries of these projects. Objective: this article invites reflection on the occupational work of the architect and the engineer towards the management of projects that demonstrate that the articulation of these disciplines can significantly benefit the execution of the works, provided that the planning process is contemplated it involves flexible and participative dynamics in a multi and transdisciplinary way with the community of users. Materials and methods: the technical-administrative review was carried out on three projects delivered in 2015 by the Housing Technical Directorate (DTV) of Buenaventura. Results: the study shows that, although these projects were due to a multidisciplinary planning work between architecture and engineering, they did not offer total welfare to the beneficiary population because the location of these is affecting the owners’ economy due to the increase in travel times and costs in the search for adequate and timely solutions for mobility. Conclusions: participatory work should be maintained between professionals and the community that receives the project to obtain greater benefits.esAcceso abiertoCorporación Universitaria LasallistaPlanificación urbanaViviendainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAcces
