Summary/Abstract: The great economical, social and political problems result in an increasing necessity of residences for families with low income. The resident populations has impoverished greatly worldwide. However, considering the market economical situations which are increasingly harder, these residences are not profitable, the old ones must be renovated in order to meet the new living demands and all these require massive funding, and profitability is out of the question. The strong tradition and the success of occidental countries in the field of social politics are tributary to their extremely judiciary means of application in the economical, political and administrative realities of each. However, the particular financial possibilities that these developed countries dispose of, does not infer the dissipation of public or private money. Rehabilitation and reconversion of industrial buildings represent other resolution possibilities for the residence crisis. The nest scenario is to build or rehabilitate other types of buildings or real estate destined for residence but in which there may coexist social apartments (for young people, unemployed and seniors) and private-property apartments. According to various psycho-sociological studies, this is one of the best solutions against the social segregation phenomenon, which is so frequent in today’s world. Final results are expected to conserve the specificity, cultural and spiritual heritage of the respective community as well as the traditional way of living.
