Abstract

This thesis discusses the landscape created by Latin American social housing policies, specifically cases related to the Metropolitan Region of Santiago de Chile (MRS) and the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo-SP (MRSP). The analysis focuses on social practices in open spaces of social housing projects, considering results from 2009 to 2016 of the first data compilation of the federal government\'s housing program Minha Casa Minha Vida in the MRSP and from 2006 to 2016 of the Neighborhood Programs in the MRS. Social practices in the public and private open spaces are observed, in light of the view of the landscape, which allows expanding the analysis to the everyday social relations that occur in these spaces. Therefore, the formation of both Metropolitan Areas is observed, as well as the history of housing policies, the modus operandi of social housing production which concentrated developments in fringe areas without a city, analyzing the impact of urban and architectural models applied in situations of social and economic vulnerability for the daily life of social practices. The intramural daily life, a result of the gated community social housing model and widely applied in both countries, is compared with Chilean neighborhood programs which focus on social practices in public spaces. The analysis evidenced that, despite a number of changes in the political programs, the practices of constructing housing projects based on quantitative aspects, a neoliberal inspired model, or based on mitigating the impacts of the model with neighborhood rehabilitation programs continue, notwithstanding the difficulties they face due to the location\'s vulnerable context and which result in spaces that are not really representative of social practices. It is necessary to create actions aimed at social practices, with the possibility of overcoming the alienated day-to-day reality, and identify the qualities and weaknesses in the policies of both countries for the daily practices which are practiced or un-practiced.
