Since the 1970s, popular movements organized around the struggle for housing have been strong in São Paulo. Based on four central agendas – slums and precarious neighborhoods upgrading; better rental conditions; urban improvements and land tenure in peripheral subdivisions; and public funding for housing production – housing movements have consolidated as an essential political player in São Paulo, intersecting with the struggles for health, education, transportation, and urban infrastructure. With local action and national organization, São Paulo's housing movements are responsible for empowering the community, qualifying their dialogue, preparing for confrontations with the public authorities, and ensuring access to housing through public programs via organized building squatting. This paper analyzes the importance of São Paulo housing movements and its prominent female participants in São Paulo in conquering social rights.

O artigo apresenta uma breve analise da política habitacional brasileira, tendo como estudo de caso específico o Programa de Locação Social instituído no município de São Paulo em 2002. O Programa de Locação Social paulistano é o principal programa habitacional alicerçado na locação implantado no Brasil recentemente. Criado pela Resolução nº 23 do Conselho do Fundo Municipal de Habitação, visava atender à demanda das famílias com renda de até três salários mínimos, excluídas até então dos programas existentes de financiamento habitacional. Após 10 anos de sua implantação, as principais limitações apontadas são a falta de acompanhamento social da demanda atendida e a falta de acompanhamento na gestão das áreas condominiais. Outra questão ainda não resolvida, no âmbito do programa de locação social, é o tempo máximo de permanência das famílias nos empreendimentos, bem como o atendimento a uma demanda muito superior à capacidade do Programa.

HOUSING POLICY IN BRAZIL AND THE SOCIAL RENT PROGRAM IN SÃO PAULO Camila D'Ottaviano This article presents a brief analysis of the Brazilian housing policy, using as a case study the Social Rent Program, which was created in the city of São Paulo in 2002. São Paulo's Social Rent Program is the main rent-based housing program implemented in Brazil recently. Created by Resolution 23 of the Municipal Housing Fund Council, it sought to meet the demand of families whose income was up to three minimum wages, which until then had excluded them from existing housing funding programs. After 10 years of implementation, the main limitations found are a lack of social guidance for the demand covered and a lack of guidance in the management of common areas. Another unsolved social rent issue is the maximum period of permanence of families in the rented properties, as well as managing a demand that is much larger than the program's capacity.

POLITIQUE DE L'HABITAT AU BRÉSIL ET PROGRAMME DES LOGEMENTS SOCIAUX À SÃO PAULO Camila D'Ottaviano L'article présente une brève analyse de la politique de l'habitat brésilienne, avec l'étude de cas spécifique du Programme des Logements Sociaux institué dans la commune de São Paulo en 2002. Ce Programme des Logements Sociaux de São Paulo est le principal programme de l'habitat basé sur la location et implanté récemment au Brésil. Créé à partir de la Résolution nº 23 du Conseil pour les Fonds Municipaux destinés à l'Habitat, il cherchait à répondre aux besoins des familles qui gagnent jusqu'à trois salaires minimums et qui étaient exclues des programmes de crédit immobilier jusqu'alors existants. Après dix ans d'implantation, les principales limites signalisées du programme sont un manque de suivi social auprès des personnes ayant obtenu une réponse positive à cette demande ainsi qu'un manque d'orientation dans la gestion des parties communes d'habitation. D'autres questions encore en suspens dans le cadre de ce programme de logements sociaux sont celle de la durée maximale de permanence des familles dans le projet et le fait d'avoir à répondre à une demande beaucoup plus grande que la capacité du Programme.

Resumo Pensando nas formas de acesso à moradia da população de baixa renda no Brasil, este artigo pretende analisar, especificamente, as condições de moradia da população favelada, procurando, a partir dos dados censitários disponíveis, identificar o que significa morar numa favela no Brasil na primeira década do século XXI, a partir de algumas questões principais: houve aumento da população favelada no Brasil? Onde esse aumento foi mais expressivo? Como se deu esse aumento: a partir do surgimento de novas favelas ou no aumento das favelas existentes? Quais as características dos domicílios favelados? Houve melhora nos indicadores relacionados à infraestrutura? É também um esforço inédito de análise da base de dados "Leitura Territorial" dos domicílios favelados, base única disponibilizada pelo Censo 2010.

With the world becoming increasingly urban, housing poverty in the global south has made the metaphor 'planet of slums' a global reality. This paper revisits the dichotomy of enabler vs. provider debate in housing policy that preoccupied housing scholars in the last few decades. Drawing on the government intervention in Brazil and India, it is argued that the transformative and adaptive capacity of enabling strategy has now come of an age. Among other things, the paper makes a close reading of the historical and geographical (re)constitution of the process of housing delivery in these countries and argues that they have adopted enabling strategies along with closely intertwined strategies of crisis management and show a clear predisposition towards earlier provider approach of state administered, large-scale housing programmes to support the low-income households. Thus, as one policy approach follows another, the discursive space for the government policy doctrine acquires a layered structure, which contains elements of both provider and enabling approaches. Whilst these developments, still evolutionary, challenges remain in the form of conceptual contradictions that continue to obscure our approach towards low-income housing policies in the global South. Arguably on this basis, considerably more, attention should be given to providing housing to the poor in the global South.

Using a broad international comparative perspective spanning multiple countries across South America, Europe and Africa, contributors explore resident-led self-building for low- and middle-income groups in urban areas. Although social, economic and urban prosperity differs across these contexts, there exists a recurring, cross-continental, tension between formal governance and self-regulation. Contributors examine the multifaceted regulation dilemmas of self-building under the conditions of modernisation and consider alternative methods of institutionalisation, place-making and urban design, reconceptualising the moral and managerial ownership of the city. Innovative in scope, this book provides an array of globalised solutions for navigating regulatory tensions in order to optimise sustainable development for the future
