An analysis of public policy for urban housing in the state of São Paulo

Abstract

Considered important milestones in the housing policy of the state of São Paulo, this article analyzes the implementation processes of the Growth Acceleration Programs: My house, My life (PAC-MCMV) and Urbanization of Precarious Settlements (PAC-UAP). To this end, data are presented on the history of the Brazilian and São Paulo housing programs and on the policy developed by the MCMV and UAP programs, in addition to considerations on how public policies were implemented in this state and in its city-region. As for the methodological procedures, from a descriptive-analytical investigation, for the presentation of the results, the number of completed works and the volume of investments made were observed. The results revealed that, although these public policies have expressive numbers of dwellings and are scattered throughout the state, there is a great concentration of these developments in the Administrative Region of Campinas and in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, both inserted in the city-region.
