Las condiciones y características de estos entornos, los usos del suelo, las configuraciones morfológicas, la continuidad y la contigüidad entre los proyectos de Vivienda de Interés Social y las piezas urbanas donde se insertan, son analizadas en esta investigación, a través del estudio de cinco conjuntos residenciales desarrollados en la Gran Área Metropolitana. Los proyectos, construidos entre 2011 y 2018, fueron analizados a partir del estudio de planos, cartografía del ámbito, revisión documental y estudio de datos secundarios. Los resultados alcanzados posibilitaron identificar las principales dificultades desprendidas del encaje morfológico y tipológico que siguieron los conjuntos residenciales, así como las problemáticas contextuales por la locación de los proyectos1.]]></p></abstract>
