Debts and Challenges La política de vivienda en España en el contexto europeo. Deudas y retos Rodríguez Alonso, Raquel Common problems concerning housing in Spain include: overstocked and poorly distributed housing stock, where higher income families monopolize housing leaving groups of people with access problems; generation of good and bad quality urban fabric, including endemic social exclusion processes; or the absence of alternatives for people with little resources to buy a house. In Spain, secure access to housing is still an unresolved matter. Housing policy is conditioned to two objectives: giving access to decent houses to all Spaniards, and boosting the economy by promoting construction; thus creating an overstocked, underused and overvalued housing stock that is available to some groups of people. Through the analysis of the housing stock and housing policies developed in Spain and in the north of Europe since the second half of the XXth century, this paper studies the political strategies that caused this situation, ending with programs that may give guidelines for solving the problem. Un parque sobredimensionado y mal repartido, en el que las familias de mayor renta acaparan varias viviendas mientras existe población con problemas de acceso, la generación de tejidos urbanos de buena y mala calidad, con procesos de exclusión social endémicos, o la ausencia de alternativas para el acceso a la vivienda para los hogares que no tienen recursos para acceder a la compra son problemas comunes en materia de vivienda. En el ejemplo español, la garantía en el acceso a la vivienda sigue siendo una asignatura pendiente. La política de vivienda se ha condicionado al cumplimiento de doble objetivo: procurar una vivienda digna a todos los españoles, e impulsar la economía a través del fomento de la construcción, provocando un parque sobredimensionado, infrautilizado y sobrevalorado, pero en el que no toda la población tiene cabida. A través del análisis del parque de viviendas y de la política pública desarrollada desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX tanto en España como en el norte de Europa, se ahondará en las estrategias políticas que han provocado esta situación, acabando con algunos programas en funcionamiento que pueden dar pautas para avanzar en la solución del problema.
