The Program Minha Casa Minha Vida in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Campinas: socio-spatial aspects and segregation

Launched in 2009, the Program Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV – My House My Life), the current housing policy of the Federal Government, has promoted significant territorial impacts on Brazilian cities. Although the program has increased the importance of the housing issue within the Federal Government’s agenda, including large amounts of subsidies, the urban integration pattern of its enterprises reaffirms the predominance of an exclusionary and precarious urbanization model in most cities of the country, especially in the main metropolitan areas. This is what this article aims to demonstrate, based on an analysis of the urban integration patterns of the enterprises produced under the PMCMV between 2009 and 2012 in the metropolitan regions of São Paulo and Campinas.
