This paper analyzes this process by comparing the situation of three cities: Mexico City, Santiago and London. Through the review of Latin American and Global North literature, we analyze the socio-spatial and political-institutional effects derived from the transformation of the access to social housing before and after the implementation of the neoliberal policies that modified the role of the State, funding mechanisms and the social background of beneficiaries and triggered the emergence of tenure issues and new urban geographies within the context of social housing. The experiences of these three countries differ from each other and show unique features; however, they allow us to comparatively understand the current social housing crisis and develop a cosmopolitan theory about neoliberalization processes. La crisis de la vivienda pública se deriva de una serie de acciones de neoliberalización de las políticas habitacionales: creación de mecanismos financieros, políticas excluyentes y privatizadoras que limitan el acceso a la vivienda para las clases sociales más necesitadas. El presente texto explora un análisis de este proceso a través de un método comparativo en tres ciudades: México, Santiago y Londres. Apoyándonos en literatura latinoamericana y anglosajona analizamos los efectos socio espaciales y político institucionales de la transformación del acceso a la vivienda con foco en la vivienda pública, antes y después de la puesta en marcha de políticas neoliberales que transforman radicalmente el rol del estado, los mecanismos de financiamiento, la composición de clase de los beneficiarios de la política, la emergencia de problemas alrededor de la tenencia y las nuevas geografías urbanas de la vivienda social. Las trayectorias analizadas en los tres países son diversos y presentan elementos específicos, sin embargo, permite comprender de forma comparativa la actual crisis global de la vivienda social avanzando en teorizaciones más cosmopolitas sobre los procesos de neoliberalización.
