Social housing is in such a deep crisis in Budapest that mass constructions would seem to be the best fit answer. Instead, the city and particularly the local authorities of the 14th district, Zuglo, intend to prove that quantity should not be the only aim: sustainable techniques and community building are as important to develop social housing.

The E-Co-housing project in Budapest promises a reconciliation of these seemingly conflicting aims, building affordable housing that can become a model for both community building and sustainable practices.
