The present work aims to analyze the relationship between the urban and housing policies studying the relationship between the areas for social housing in the master plans undertaken in the city of Presidente Prudente and the implementation of proper housing. It is intended to compare two periods of production, the production period of the National Housing Bank - BNH, 1964-1986, with deployed sets after its closure, ie 1987 to 2013 Presidente Prudente is a city located in western São Paulo and regional influence, where the production of social housing had physical, economic and social impacts on the entire city. The theme should be the need to research the policies of producing space, urban and social housing; from these structured products and are offered to low-income population.
