    Definition of urban and city sociology, mind map, stakeholders mapping, qualitative or quantitative sociological survey, etc. Definition and theories concerning housing, settlement, housing planning, etc. The workshop exercise involves the area surrounding a housing project to be built or rehabilitated. Mapping the area stakeholders, meet them, mind map, carry out a qualitative or quantitative sociological survey, record and transcribe data, content analysis, manage statistical information and conduct a small survey to understand how it works. The results will be integrated into a project with the aim of the sustainable development.
