Moradia digna: as políticas públicas habitacionais brasileira e chilena atendem às recomendações da ONU?

Abstract

Housing issues have been discussed by international organizations, such as the UN, since the end of World War II. This occurred in view of the inhuman situation in which the surviving population of the war came to live. But before that, the population of countries like Brazil and Chile, already suffered with the State absence regarding housing. For this reason, its also became the discussion subject towards UN, which came to be through international housing conferences, which in turn, promote a mobilization for the practice of housing as a human right in all countries. Studies have been done since then, pointing to Latin America as deserving attention of international organizations, as well as recommendations for improving the condition of their housing, since it is a very populated region and has a significant growth of its cities. Brazil and Chile were two of those Latin American countries that managed to promote similar housing policies that stand out from the others, but also suffer criticism, such as the deviation of their goals and the consequent promotion of the so-called socio-spatial segregation discussed in the present study. Therefore, this research, which uses the literary revision, aims to create a relationship between general UN recommendations on decent housing, with the national norms and housing policies recently implemented in Brazil and Chile. In this way, will be analyzed the most important norms on decent housing of international scope, also, Brazil and Chile national norms in order to verify if they are theoretically in harmony and if the last housing policies are in agreement with UN recommendations.
