a newmodel neighbourhood of accessible housing, in line with the modern tradition
of investigating and proposing new habitable environments that reflect the social
reality of the time.
The project promotes the construction of housing that responds to the needs of the
new types of family unit (young people, the elderly, single-parent families, etc.), both
owner-occupied and rented, in a quality urban setting in which the landscaped areas,
social amenities and good architecture generate urban excellence.

Sociópolis was presented at the Valencia Biennial in 2003, as a project in which 13
international architecture firms took part. The project put forward a model of new
urban development in which housing and multifunctional amenities were integrated
in an agricultural environment, a continuation and updating of the model constituted
by the Mediterranean hortulus.
