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.
This publication provides a general overview of the housing sector in Brazil, presenting the housing deficit and demand, the actors and institutions involved, the legal framework, and the financing conditions for the sector. In addition, it highlights good practices—both national and international—that promote access to quality housing through programs, financing mechanisms, and other systems. The content of this publication serves as a technical basis to support public policy discussions at local and national levels, aimed at improving the housing sector to achieve social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and economic development in the country, in collaboration with the private sector.
