Spain has made significant strides in addressing the global housing crisis through innovative social housing projects. 

These initiatives focus on rehabilitating obsolete buildings, tackling densification and gentrification, and promoting sustainable, community-focused designs

Key features include energy-efficient, flexible housing that adapts to various family structures and living conditions. Modern apartment blocks with high-quality spaces and integration into local neighbourhoods are central. Notable projects emphasise natural light, cross-ventilation, and shared public spaces for social interaction. 

Additionally, some designs draw inspiration from local architecture, fostering a sense of place while maintaining cost-effective solutions and promoting inclusivity.
