This study presents a management proposal for the design of sustainable social housing in Panama, addressing the urgent need to incorporate sustainability criteria into residential development. The research analyzes the historical background of social housing, relevant public policies, and bioclimatic design principles adapted to Panama’s humid tropical climate. Based on a theoretical review and the analysis of Latin American models, the study proposes constructive strategies focused on energy efficiency, rainwater harvesting, cross ventilation, and solar energy use. The main objective is to demonstrate that implementing sustainability principles in social housing enhances quality of life, reduces environmental impact, and contributes to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 11. The results promote an integrated vision of Panamanian social architecture, capable of articulating environmental, technological, and cultural aspects for the benefit of vulnerable communities.
