  abstract: This case study examines the method used in my PhD thesis, which aims to design sustainable housing for slums that meet the social and cultural needs of the residents. Slums are densely populated urban areas characterized by inadequate housing and unsanitary conditions. Traditional approaches to slum improvement have been ineffective, but in situ upgrades offer sustainable housing solutions that involve the community, promote social and cultural well-being, and prevent slum resurgence. This case study focuses on the application of the Empathic Design Method in identifying the sociocultural needs of a slum in Abuja, leading to the development of an acceptable housing design. Previous global approaches to this issue have been unsuccessful, as users were dissatisfied with the housing provided and, in some cases, even returned to the slums. Empathic design, a human-centerd approach, was implemented through immersion, utilizing a single case study. The data collection methods included interviews, focus groups, probe kits, and field surveys. Through content analysis, a prototype design was developed. This case study will provide valuable methodological insights for researchers seeking to provide products that meet the social and cultural needs of the users.
