Summary

The object of our research is the study as well as the interpretation of the social housing in the city of Chania, its integration in the urban environment, starting with the Asia Minor destruction and during the Venizelism until the Post-war period. The relations of interaction with the existing typologies of urban housing are also investigated, as well as its synchronization with the corresponding European standards of the period between 1920-1950.The mixed urban system of the city of Chania, constituting a single spatial unit that is of great interest as it unites the historic Venetian center with a Hippodameian system of radial connection integrates the social housing. The key questions that need to be answered are:• What is the functional, typological, morphological and structural relationship of the social dwellings we research with the historical past of the place where they are created?• How do they express the cultural, economic and social status of their period?• Does the evolution of social housing in Chania follow the evolution of the Urban Villa in the same area?• How do we perceive the relationship of the corresponding social structures in France, Austria & the Netherlands, based on Europeanization and what is the process of their absorption by the Greek architecture and local society?
