This analysis specially develops, due to the fact that our Latin-American cities show a very unique phenomenon of segregation and division within its cities, exclusion highlighted by the lack of access to adequate housing, especially by the poorest members of the society. This led them to live in expensive, contaminated, unsafe neighborhoods and cities with a clear deterioration process. Analyzing the different constitutions that have given the framework within which somehow the cities have been built, helps to understand the compatibility or incompatibility of human rights; specially the one concerning the right to adequate housing, which not only refers to the actual house acquisition and its legal possession, not only grounded on "individual property", but also refers to renting, collective property that pushes city social network for life. En el marco de aportar en la necesaria reflexión sobre el derecho a la vivienda, especialmente sobre su institucionalidad a través de las cartas o declaraciones constitucionales en nuestra América y en el mundo; como herramienta de exigibilidad de la sociedad civil para el goce de este derecho, se desarrolla este análisis, especialmente cuando nuestras ciudades latinoamericanas presentan fenómenos de fragmentación, segregadas, exclusión marcada por la falta de acceso a una vivienda digna, especialmente por los sectores sociales empobrecidos, que los llevan a vivir en barrios o ciudades con alto costo económico, social, con contaminación, inseguras y en proceso de deterioro. El recorrer analíticamente las diferentes cartas constitucionales que han marcado de alguna manera la construcción de ciudades, ayudan a visibilizar la compatibilidad e incompatibilidad con todos los derechos humanos, especialmente con el goce del derecho a una vivienda adecuada, que no es sólo acceso al objeto vivienda, y la seguridad de su tenencia, no sólo se cimienta en la "la propiedad individual" sino en otras formas, como el arrendamiento, la propiedad colectiva, que potencian la red social de la ciudad para la vida.
