It also analyzes the implementation of a certain set of housing initiatives in successive authoritarian and democratic eras, which ranged from establishment/eradication and inclusion/exclusion. The objective of this research is to provide further insights into the 100-year-old history of policies oriented towards popular sectors who live in illegally occupied villages and dwellings in Buenos Aires and whose prevalent hallmarks are vagrancy, partiality and violence. This study argues that housing policies are constantly displacing vulnerable social groups according to the premise that the “natural” place of residence of these groups can be found outside the capital city. En este trabajo abordamos las características distintivas de las políticas hacia villas y, posteriormente, hacia casas ocupadas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina, entre los años 1950 y 2002. Analizamos el modo en que fueron desplegadas un cierto conjunto de políticas habitacionales en sucesivas etapas autoritarias y democráticas, las cuales oscilaron entre la radicación/erradicación e inclusión/exclusión. Nuestro objetivo es profundizar en la trayectoria de casi un siglo de políticas hacia los sectores populares que habitan en villas y/o casas tomadas de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, cuyos signos prevalecientes han sido la errancia, la parcialidad y la violencia. A lo largo de nuestra exposición sostenemos que los desplazamientos de los sectores sociales más vulnerables parecen haberse constituido como una constante de este conjunto de políticas habitacionales, basados en la concepción, más o menos tácita, de que el lugar “natural” de residencia de los sectores populares es fuera de la ciudad capital.
