After ten years of housing policies in the periurban area of Buenos Aires: ¿What is left of federal planning?
Abstract
This article focuses on the impacts of changes in government management of the implementation of housing policy in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area during the first quarter of the current century. The Federal Housing Plans are analyzed in order to track the institutional swings and bureaucratic changes during the implementation of the policy and their impacts on what was produced. For this purpose, a qualitative methodological strategy was used, based on a triangulation of data provided by interviews with public managers and documentation of the programs. We conclude that either through actions or omissions each government administration fixed a particular directionality to the implementation of housing policy with institutional repercussions, in the programmatic framework and in the territorial outcomes of what was produced.
