Abstract

This dissertation makes a reflection on the new Brazilian housing policy characterized as a moment of organizational changes made by the Brazilian state with the historical problem attention to housing or social housing and the gap created in the last three decades on this vital aspect of working-class life: access to home own. In this intention, we tried to analyze the process of production of space in the metropolitan region of Belém from the perspective of the capitalist mode of production and the attempt to regulate the incorporation of space for new instruments, which so inculcated, would be able to alleviate the problem of housing shortage in the region with the inclusion of the right to the city intrinsically present in programs of social housing, arising after the creation of the National System for Social Housing in 2005, which at that time brought claims of social organizations within it, after the enactment of the Statute of the City, which implicitly encompassed elements discussed by the National Forum of Urban Reform in the previous decades. The work bases sat on critical geography, literature review and its confrontation with the lines of the main promoters of this policy subject in recent years (technical social organizations, institutional agents, Caixa Economica Federal, activists, trade unionists and private sector developers) in RMB, evidences the gap between the development and execution of social housing and intentional forgetting the possibilities of implementing the proposed organic, stemming from the SNHIS/FNHIS and the adoption of marketing strategies instrumental typically designed to focus on the reproduction of capital, with the advent of and the adoption of marketing strategies instrumental typically designed to focus on the reproduction of capital, with the advent of “Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida” (2009). The results point to diffuse visions of agents and actors on the housing problem and addressing them, but converge in understanding the rupture created in a specific historical moment, to support the growing economy in the context of the threat of global economic crisis (2008) and freezing of government intentions suppression greater portion of the housing deficit in the “social interest”, what we call the opposite of the right to the city, that is, political and economic reorientation in favor of not cooling the market and permanence conditions governance to political groups currently dominating.
