Viabilidade do acesso a moradia para a população de baixa renda: análise do custo envolvido na produção de habitações

Abstract

The housing issue in Brazil has long been a focus of attention, triggering discussions about the problems faced by the growing low-income population, deprived of any resources that allow them access to decent housing. The accelerated urbanization process, which began in the 1960s and 1970s, led to profound changes in the cities' space. The 1980s, with the great economic crisis, saw rising rents and increasing numbers of illegal occupations and land invasions in high-risk areas. At a time when new directions are being sought for housing policy aimed at the low-income layer, this study has a proposal to demonstrate the viability of the home for this population, analyzing the real cost of housing production. In this way, we intend to address here what has been done and what can be done, based on innovative ideas and experiences, in the search for new forms of housing production that are really viable for low-income groups.
