Abstract
The crisis on infrastructure systems, mobility and the demands of service provision in increasingly remote areas with less values of urbanity that result from the dispersed city model, leads to reexamining the consolidated and dense tissues. While presenting a more compact land-use, there should be conditions of urban habitability of higher quality than those in the new undifferentiated and diffuse peripheries. In this context, the research analyzes comparatively different residential proposals of collective dwellings as a function of density. The objective of the work is to evaluate, from an architectural design dimension, significant cases of collective housing built in Cordoba city that offer higher levels of densification in relation to the building environment where they are located. It seeks to identify the advantages in terms of residential quality in the different housing proposals that integrate the cases of study and link it with the density adopted in its design. The methodological approach integrates an evaluation matrix that compares housing complexes with different density values. Analytical dimensions related to urban indicators are selected and others with indicators relating to the design of collective housing. Weighting criteria are used to construct a residential quality index (RQI), and to integrate in a simulation model of the concepts: Density and Residential quality. Finally, the results obtained in this first analytical approach of the problem of study are evaluated new interrogations proposed to advance in the analysis of the different levels of densification that are presented in the proposals and their adequacy.
Highlights
Results of research carried out on the urban growth process in the city of Córdoba, in two inter-census periods 1991-2001 and 2001-2010 (Marengo, 2015) confirm the increase in urbanized land consumption per inhabitant and the decrease of the gross density in the urban administrative boundaries

The analysis of data and the systematization of the results allowed us to verify the validity of the densification levels in the residential complexes analyzed in terms of the relationship between the spatial-criteria adopted in their design and the quality of life they offer, the facilities in terms of access to urban mobility, availability of parking space, and open areas for collective use in the housing complexes, among other dimensions considered in a first stage
Summary
Results of research carried out on the urban growth process in the city of Córdoba, in two inter-census periods 1991-2001 and 2001-2010 (Marengo, 2015) confirm the increase in urbanized land consumption per inhabitant and the decrease of the gross density in the urban administrative boundaries. The study of these residential complexes comparatively evaluates the residential quality in the different alternatives of spatial organization proposed It relates the architectural-urban design of the building with densification values. The comparative analysis of the values obtained in each housing complex set shows a great dispersion in each analytical dimension (see Table 2) It shows the absence of common criteria in the urban-architectural design. Prevision of parking per housing unit: values ranging from 0 to 1.1 parking areas per dwelling (the median value is 0.41) This indicator shows a great dispersion over time, with low values being observed in the case of the older complexes (constructed through public housing policies) with respect to the values provided by the privately-built complexes in the last decade. In the survey carried out, it was observed that one of the most significant modifications in the design is the incorporation of parking garages to attend to the lack of forecast of parking lots
