Evolución de la vivienda progresiva en Montería: caso La Granja y P5

This article arises from the research project “Cohabitar” which examines housing constructed by the Instituto de Crédito Territorial (ICT) in the Colombian Caribbean region. The study aims to graphically represent the stages of physical-spatial transformation and analyze the housing growth process based on the progressive housing model proposed for the La Granja and P5 neighborhoods in Montería. Content analysis is used to examine, identify, and extract information from available documentary archives, and scientific surveying is employed to visually restore the model implemented by the ICT. This reveals the existence of a pre-designed open progressive housing system that offers flexibility in space distribution and land occupancy, with the core-base highlighted as a key element to adapt to environmental dynamics and housing usage needs. Nevertheless, the need for citizen participation in progressive housing design is emphasized as an innovative element in the social design approach and provides valuable experiences for future sustainable housing models
