Abstract

A sustainable living environment should be shaped in an ecological, economic and pro-social way. The aim of this work is to draw attention to this last, often overlooked aspect in the context of designing sustainable residential architecture, what can be achieved by taking care to maintain social relations at the appropriate level. The article reviewed the existing theories of sociologists, psychologists and architects on the features of architecture and residential spaces. The analysis of literature sources showed that there are architectural elements that can support the formation of social contacts. On their basis, a set of ten evaluation criteria was developed, which can be used for further research, e.g. in the context of evaluating pro-social solutions in selected architectural and urban projects.
