| Resumo: | The ability of our societies to reach and maintain  housing conditions consistent with the right  to decent habitat is inevitably related to the  integration of the sustainability challenge into  the mechanisms for housing, neighborhood and  city generation, since it directly depends on both  available resources and the production of waste. Based on this relation, the sustainable building  concept is thoroughly explained through the  transposition of the sustainable development  de? nition proposed by the Bruntland report,  which allows the linkage of human needs  satisfaction with the use of resources. In this  way, sustainable housing should address the last phase of material cycles in order to reach  its main goal: provide habitability. Under this perspective, this paper analyzes  the current concept of habitability in relation  to the environmental impact and discusses the  importance of rede? ning it as a social demand  for the precise conditions to meet socially  recognized needs. This new conception of  habitability transcends the domestic domain  to reach out urban spheres, thus generating  variables to satisfy today’s social demands. |
