ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on the urban growth experienced in the third quarter of the 20th century that was due to the generalized deficit of housing which characterized European cities mainly during the 20th century. This period was a time of greater growth of many cities and, therefore, one of higher architectural and urban production of its recent urban history. However, they are goods that, in most cases, lack generalized heritage recognition and, consequently, do not have comparable levels of protection to other residential types. These urban groups have been exhaustively studied in large cities, and research has found a gap in the analysis of intermediate ones. This work recognises social housing neighbourhoods in medium-sized cities as an asset to be protected and defends the generation of knowledge as a necessary resource for the cultural values assessment. Accordingly, GIS and BIM present as appropriate tools for clearly addressed a multi-scale analysis. They have allowed us to efficiently record and graphically represent the quantitative and qualitative heritage analysis carried out.
