Como promover moradia popular nas cidades | Sala de notícias - Canal Futura

This episode shows how the growth model adopted in Brazil left the responsibility for housing to the worker. As a result, they ended up living on any abandoned land and building their own homes. This led to the emergence of favelas and irregular settlements throughout the country. The lack of a comprehensive housing policy further worsened this situation of irregularities. An example is the Paulo Freire Occupation in Belém, Pará. The documentary explains the various situations of irregularity and presents citizens' rights regarding housing. The right to housing is enshrined in the Constitution. Another important issue is urban voids. People without shelter and shelter without people. There are more than five million vacant properties in Brazil. How to solve this problem? The program presents some solutions based on the City Statute, such as the Progressive Property Tax (IPTU). Finally, the episode discusses the "Minha Casa Minha Vida" (My House My Life) and "Minha Casa Minha Vida Entidades" (My House My Life Entities) programs, which, despite being little known, have been successful due to self-management.
