Abstract

The article explains the arguments and difficulties identified by the Social Housing, Basic
habitability and Urban Heritage Research Group regarding the heritage preservation of groups of
social houses, supported by experiences in Germany and France, countries in the vanguard of this
movement. These groups do not have a level of property protection in Europe comparable to other
types of housing, such as the residential fabric of the historical quarters or of the traditional nuclei.
However, since the middle of the XX century and more intensely from the end of the 1990s they have
been the objective of a budding process of heritage preservation, which has given rise to the
protection of some outstanding groups, such as the Großsiedlung Britz in Germany, the Cité des
États-Unis and the Grand Ensemble of the Courtillières in France. The imbalances which these
pioneer groups show between the expectations of the rehabilitation and the demands of heritage
protection demonstrate the problems to be addressed by the heritage preservation process of the
groups of social houses. In addition, the solutions attempted by them suppose a testing ground for
strategies on a larger scale which make it possible to reduce the effect of these imbalances.
