| Summary: | In Argentina housing solutions do not properly meet the needs of low-income households that use social housing both as a dwelling and for the development of informal economic activities necessary for their survival. Households in these conditions transform the public housing into domestic units of production and reproduction of life, with consequent negative effects on living conditions and the quality of life of these homes. This paper analyzes this issue from a comprehensive and complex approach to habitat by investigating a case study in the city of Resistencia (Argentina). The aim of this research is to generate contributions that may influence public housing policies and provide appropriate solutions for the achievement of decent housing. |
