Abstract

ELORZA, Ana Laura. Public Housing Policy and Socioeconomic Residential Segregation in the City Of Córdoba (Argentina). Cuad. urbano [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.20. ISSN 1853-3655.

In recent years the study of residential segregation has been renewed, because segregation is increasing with a consequent increase of its negative consequences on the quality of material and symbolic life of the segregated poor. The city of Cordoba (Argentina) has maintained the structure of unequal appropriation of residential areas by social groups according to their socioeconomic status, in which most of the low-income population is living in outlying areas with fewer opportunities for the development of activities and access to social services and facilities. The impact of public policies on social housing in the dynamics of the phenomenon of socioeconomic residential segregation in this city is analyzed for the period 2001-2008, emphasizing the location of housing projects in the periphery, the social homogeneity of the target population and the stigmatizing designation of these new neighborhoods.

Keywords : Socioeconomic residential segregation, social housing policy, poverty.
