【受付終了】Housing Policies in Brazil and Sao Paulo｜比較住宅都市研究会（2019/10/25｜東京）

※詳細は主催団体等にお問い合わせください。

今回は英語で議論します。
Despite major urban developments throughout the decades, both the housing supply and living conditions for low-income people in Brazil remain inadequate. Sprawling slums are endemic in large cities, while most rural dwellers live without amenities such as piped water and electricity. At last estimate (2016), the housing deficit is around 8 million units and such deficit refers to the number of shelters which do not have adequate conditions to be habitable, plus the number of housing units that need to be built to shelter all families who currently lack one and, as a result, share a shelter with another household in overcrowded conditions. Known as favelas, overpopulated units are not built according to any laws or safety regulations, and thus residents are constantly at risk of being killed in landslides or fires. This rapid rate of illegal occupation of urban land has led to serious problems not only for the residents, but also for the entire city at large as well as the city’s landscape and the natural environment of the surrounding areas. Under an attempt to overcome the mentioned problems, the Brazilian government launched in 2009 a programme called “Minha Casa, Minha Vida” (My Home, My Life) that helped ? and still helps – low-income families to build their homes, but such programme has been largely criticized by national and international institutions. This presentation will approach the past and actual conditions of housing and related public policies in Brazil, their positive and negative outcomes, and will focus on the city of Sao Paulo as case study.
