| Abstract | |
The present dissertation has the purpose of studying the price of the land as a political factor on the public housing production and on the production of space in Curitiba. The social housing figures today as a false problem. False, not because the needs in the housing sector supposedly don\'t exist or don\'t figure as a problem. It is false because its formulation is based only on economistic explanations that ignore the price of the land as a political factor. To reformulate the housing question based on its intrinsic characteristics, we analyzed the production of the Companhia de Habitação Popular de Curitiba - COHAB-CT (popular housing company of Curitiba), considered the period from 1965 to 2010, the year the present research started, demonstrating the relation between the price of the land and the transformation of the typologies and locations of the housing units produced in the period. It is also demonstrated that, after several plans, projects, and laws passed, drafted in many cases by the Instituto de Pesquisa e Planejamento Urbano de Curitiba (Urban planning and research institute of Curitiba) and the Companhia de Habitação Popular de Curitiba (popular housing company of Curitiba), the discourse about the price of the land as a problem, and the description of the nature of the problem that it makes up, differ during the period, as well as the solutions given, which, normally, has the sense of seeking cheaper lands instead of stating their price. The main factors pointed out by COHAB-CT, during its history, as limits to the housing production, are: the lack of land, the property speculation and the high price of the land. These factors fall down and show up as eclipsing policies as far as they naturalize the price of the land and make it up reified, everlasting, and immutable. Immutable not in a sense that it doesn\'t vary, but in the sense that it varies without relation to the processes of production and reproduction of Capital, therefore without possibilities of intervention. The unveiling of the eclipsing policies within the formulation of the price of the land as a problem within the popular housing and, as a consequence, the unveiling of the housing question, end up to demonstrate the interwoven of the Companhia de Habitação Popular de Curitiba (popular housing company of Curitiba) and the movements of real estate market.
