Description
Identifying reasonably priced and well-located land parcels has become one of the most crucial challenges for affordable housing development in Latin America. In Brazil, new land management tools were included in national legislation in order to improve the capacity of local governments to make urbanized land available to the poor. This research project aims to assess the use of these new tools in the cities of the State of São Paulo comparing them with the persistent use of exclusionary zoning in the local urban legislation.
Descrição
Encontrar terrenos bem localizados e a preços razoáveis é atualmente o principal desafio para o desenvolvimento de habitação social na América Latina. No Brasil, novos instrumentos de regulação urbanística foram introduzidos na legilaàão nacinal a fim de melhorar a capacidade dos governos locais de dar acesso aos pobre a terrenos urbanizados. Este projeto de pesquisa tem como objetivo principal avalair criticamente e de forma comparativa o impacto da aplicação destes novos instrumentos nas cidades do Estado de São Paulo sobre a produção de habitação social, tomando em conta outros fatores tais como disponibilidade de crédito, inversões imobiliarias e a persistencia (ou não) de zonificaàão restritiva na legislação urbanística local..
