The present result addresses the experience of a lesson learned in times of Covid 19 for the University in its social responsibility towards development in the management of the precarious habitat, in a distance education modality. It is linked to the research of the International Cooperation Project Habitat 2 (PH2), and takes advantage of the opportunity installed in this municipality to work through a Local Network of Observatory of habitat at risk. Its objective was to propose a sustainable, inclusive and resilient solution for the mitigation management of urban habitat precariousness in the northern region of the city of Remedios. The novelty of the proposal for the achievement of sustainability, focuses on using a systemic vision of the development of the territory in its direct relationship with the heritage village, relying on the effect of urban acupuncture. It used as a way the Vertical Project Workshop of the subject DAU VI, with students of the 4th and 5th year in the course 2020-2021, as a way of teaching and learning of the main integrating discipline of the Architecture Career. Scientific tools such as the "Methodical Procedure for Planning and Special Plan in Urban Habitat Management" and the Participatory Diagnosis developed by the PH2 project were used, together with the challenge and the opportunity that represents the strategic lines of the National Program of the Institute of Physical Planning regarding the mitigation of the precariousness in the habitat. It managed, with the direction of the DMPF Remedios, to define an essential instrument for development which is the Special Plan for the Precarious Region of the North of Remedios as the one with the highest risk for the habitat in the municipality.
