This study analyzes the relationship between sustainability and the management of civil constructions applied to community housing within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It recognizes the need to incorporate technical, social, and environmental criteria in the planning and execution of housing projects that address inclusion, resilience, and resource efficiency demands. Sustainable management involves a multidimensional approach that integrates community participation, optimization of materials and technologies, and continuous evaluation of environmental and social impacts. The SDGs, especially those related to adequate housing (SDG 11), resilient infrastructure (SDG 9), and climate action (SDG 13), provide a strategic framework to guide policies and practices in constructing sustainable community housing. Planning from this perspective seeks to overcome the limitations of traditional approaches by promoting construction processes that respond to territorial particularities and foster collective well-being. The study highlights the importance of inter-institutional coordination and social participation to achieve effective management adapted to local contexts. It also underscores the need for monitoring tools to measure sustainability and adjust strategies based on results. Ultimately, sustainability and efficient management of civil constructions are fundamental to achieving community housing that contributes to sustainable development and improved quality of life for its inhabitants.
