Social Housing and Urban Integration: Recent Approaches through Land Management Instruments

The production of social housing in well-located areas remains a major challenge in Latin America. This blog explores innovative land management approaches that, under public leadership and in partnership with the private sector, promote well-located housing solutions, combat speculative land retention, and implement tools such as inclusive zoning and the strategic use of public assets. Through cases like Brazil and Colombia, the blog highlights policies that align market logic with goals of urban inclusion and sustainability.

These approaches go beyond traditional subsidies and tackle real estate market distortions head-on. By using instruments such as inclusive zoning, the mobilization of public assets, progressive property taxation, and partial development plans, governments can incentivize the private sector to produce social housing in well-connected areas with access to services. The experiences of Brazil and Colombia show how active, regulatory land policies can expand the supply of housing without deepening urban segregation, fostering more equitable and sustainable urban environments.
