Given this, we propose the establishment of an innovative Master's program focused on housing.

The proposed master's program will be based on high-quality, multidisciplinary and cutting-edge research. It will provide students with the opportunity to learn about research projects that address the complex interaction of housing as a human right and an investment product. Drawing on knowledge from diverse disciplines, students can address the most challenging housing issues with a holistic approach.

The success of any academic program depends on the quality and experience of its teaching staff. Our master's program in housing will have a team of distinguished professors and scholars from law, architecture, economics, sociology and anthropology, among others. This diversity will offer students the unique opportunity to learn from multiple perspectives, fostering a comprehensive understanding of housing as a multifaceted concept.

The residential problem is constantly evolving, influenced by demographic changes, technological advances and political changes. To stay updated, it is essential to provide students with innovative research and praxis methodologies and tools. This program will integrate new methodologies such as data analysis, mapping and advanced statistical techniques to analyze and address housing issues effectively.
