| Summary: | This article develops an exploratory approach, with descriptive analysis, on different cases of informal settlements in the city of Posadas, Argentina. A city where the emergence of new settlements, and the amount of population residing in them, makes it an empirical case, crucial for these studies. The links between habitat, health and poverty are evident, within the framework of socio-urban conditions. Beyond vulnerability in access to land and housing deficit, residents of settlements face various problems in terms of employment, food, health, education, environmental sanitation, etc. On the other hand, apart from structural constraints, it is interesting to know how they experience the adversities inherent in the environment and what are the individual or collective practices they develop to overcome everyday difficulties. |
