This paper analyzes the actions carried out by residents to create and consolidate their habitat, especially when it comes to gaining access to land and housing, and relates these actions to public policies. Through case studies, interviews with key actors and literature review, this contribution reconstructs the production and management of housing by residents over the course of time. This paper shows, on the one hand, that long processes allow residents to acquire the abilities to produce the city. On the other hand, it is also demonstrated the important role of women, young people and children in such processes. Until 1973, these abilities focused on housing and urban production; then, from 1990 onwards, these competences evolved into management-related functions and the role of housing and neighborhood leaders became professionalized. The conclusion is that residents have all the abilities to take part in the framing of public policies along the government. This would enable housing policies to be more approachable, efficient and democratic. En Chile, la política habitacional y urbana se aparta de las aspiraciones de las familias pobres. Este artículo analiza las acciones que los pobladores emprenden para crear y consolidar su hábitat, especialmente para acceder a suelo y vivienda, y relaciona estas acciones con la política pública. Por medio de estudios de casos, entrevistas a actores clave y revisión bibliográfica, se reconstruye la producción y gestión habitacional de los pobladores a lo largo del tiempo y en el período actual. Se muestra que, en un proceso de largo período, los pobladores han adquirido las competencias para producir la ciudad, y que en ese proceso han tenido un importante papel las mujeres y, más tarde, los jóvenes y los niños. Hasta 1973, las competencias se centran en la producción habitacional y urbana; desde 1990 se centran en la gestión y la labor de los dirigentes de vivienda y barrio se profesionaliza. Se concluye que los pobladores cuentan con todas las competencias para incorporarse a la definición de la política pública junto al gobierno, y que, con esa incorporación, la política habitacional tendría más sentido común y sería más eficiente y los objetivos de proporcionar vivienda se cumplirían de manera más democrática.
