THE METROPOLITAN DIMENSION OF HOUSING POLICY

ABSTRACT The last decade (2000-2010) has been characterized by the resumption of the protagonism of housing policy in Brazil, with the consolidation of instruments and policies that have formed a consistent framework to address the issue in the country. However, despite the concentration of the problem in metropolitan areas, the policy and the national housing plan have essentially adopted municipal strategies. Given this context, how can the obstacles and limits to the regional articulation of municipal housing policies in metropolitan regions be discussed? We start from the assumption that, while regional articulation is inevitable, the planning and management arrangements and instruments available have structural limitations that make the integration of municipal policies unfeasible. To discuss this issue, a previous question must be answered: how to investigate the factors that condition the integration of housing policies in metropolitan regions? This is the question that this article seeks to answer, resulting in the proposition of an analytical investigative structure that underlies future studies in this field.

摘要 2000年至2010年的近十年间，巴西住房政策重新回归核心主导地位，相关政策工具与制度体系逐步完善，构建起适配本国国情的系统性住房问题解决框架。然而，尽管住房问题高度集中于大都市区，当前的住房政策与国家住房计划本质上仍采用市级施政策略。在此背景下，该如何探讨大都市区内市级住房政策实现区域协同衔接的障碍与局限？本文的立论前提为：尽管区域协同衔接是必然趋势，但现有规划管理机制与政策工具存在结构性缺陷，导致市级政策的整合难以落地。为探讨该议题，需先解答一个前置问题：如何调研制约大都市区住房政策整合的各类影响因素？本文正是围绕这一问题展开研究，最终提出一套分析性研究框架，为该领域的后续研究提供基础支撑。
