Possibly, it's going to depend on the insulation you use (and that's it own topic of conversation).
Also the cost effectiveness of using concrete depends on what your building and how your supporting it, a block of flats is one thing, a stand alone house is another.
A lot of this is down to cultural context as well, I live in an almost hundred year old house, even our interior non load bearing walls are double layered bricks and at least an inch of plaster (and other stuff in between brick layers).
Not that I think Edwardian terraced houses are bullet proof or anything!
