The housing problem in vulnerable sectors
A view from the governmentality of "Mi Casa, Mi Vida" program in the City of Córdoba, Argentina
Abstract
(Winner paper: Junior Researchers Award "Joan Prats" 2018)
Public policies have become a privileged set of government tools to satisfy social needs and organize social landscape; they are part of the configuration of the social relations that take place from the advance of "neoliberalism". Neoliberal rationality configures public policy, therefore, to understand what has been produced is to account for the way in which public policies have been defined and populations governed. One of the ways to make this king of rationality understandable is through analyzing public policies from the problematizations that it raises. In particular, this essay focuses on housing policy in a subnational government en Argentina. The case of the public housing policy "Mi Casa, Mi Vida", implemented in the City of Córdoba will be analyzed. This program eradicated precarious settlements and villages by relocating them in different housing complexes, with relatively standard infrastructure and located in fiscal areas of peripheral areas.
