\nThe Design Guidelines for Social Housing developed by PUPA are part of a larger project\u2014the Social and Affordable Housing Policy. It was commissioned by the Mariupol City Council and prepared by Big City Lab, Civitta, and the Mayor of Mariupol's team. The Social Housing Policy defines the strategic framework, while the design guidelines focus on creating attractive, community-oriented neighborhoods and homes for residents. Based on these guidelines, two pilot projects have already been prepared: a neighborhood in Lviv (1600 housing units) and a neighborhood in Bila Tserkva (1200 housing units).<\/p>\n\n
The guidelines are organized according to different design stages, progressing in scale from the smallest level - the room - to the city level. The design guidelines establish minimum standards, quality requirements, and recommendations for: apartment and room layouts, multi-apartment building design, master planning and urban design, selecting suitable locations within the city, and promoting community involvement in the design process.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/pu-pa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PUPA_Social-housing-design-guidelines_06.jpg\")

The Social Housing Design Guidelines help balance three essential elements: quality, affordability, and liveability for everyday life. They prevent future urban challenges by avoiding the creation of low-quality or isolated neighborhoods. The guidelines also adapt homes to diverse needs, offering flexible spaces for families of different sizes. Finally, they establish clear standards for architects and planners at every stage\u2014from furniture layout to the design of the building, neighborhood, and city location.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/pu-pa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PUPA_Social-housing-design-guidelines_09-1920x1358.jpg\")
