| Abstract | |
The housing production is an important activity for capitalist accumulation and is one of the sources of conflict surrounding the appropriation of space. Such characteristic historically requires state regulation by different means, including, housing policies. While it is present in all social formations, the manner in which production and regulation of the sector is configured in distinguished spaces depends on the current pattern of accumulation. While present in all social formations, the manner in which production and regulation of the sector is configured in distinguished spaces depends on the current pattern of accumulation. Facing variety in ongoing experiences, the discussion will be focused on the policies adopted in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela as paradigmatic models in the production of the city. Despite institutional similarities, the survey results point out that the main differences regarding the programs are: the subsidy schemes and the means of financing; land policy; and state in relation to the fractions of capital that at various levels determine the pattern of these policies in the countries. Thus, Venezuelan politics as it features a strong state action on production and land issue differs from the others. Thus, the policy shows more consistent attention to the low income population and in the provision of urban infrastructure. In Brazil, despite the role of national private capital, the policy has a greater coordination in subsidy and financing mechanisms, allowing a wider attention to the population that historically has been excluded from the main government programs. In the Mexican and Colombian case, policies and their various instruments are closer to the neoliberal guidelines of multilateral organizations. Based on market mechanisms to solve the problem, Mexico and Colombia demonstrate a restricted access of the poor to subsidies and financing. Thus, the space outcomes in these countries are troublesome, with increasing periphery, lack of access to urban infrastructure and poor quality of housing (AU) | |
