Abstract

This paper deals with the need of integrating housing policies along with urban and territorial development ones, in search of an integral approach for human settlements in Latin America within a context of globalisation and the creation of regional blocks. The housing policy of Mendoza is taken as a case study. This policy is decentralised and participatory and its implications for population territorial settlements are studied. The search is first done around economical, social and demographic macro factors which play a role in modifying the territorial scene in the province and secondly, on the impact which the housing policies could have had on the territory, such policies have moved from a benefactor model with keynesian bases to a neoliberal one characterised by decentralisation and participatory processes.
