| Sumario: | Low-income housing is a large-scale problem in cities in the Global South. Thousands of low-income neighborhoods have emerged there, characterized by precarious housing, deficient infrastructure and services, and unstable land tenure. Their inhabitants drive improvements in their territories on a daily basis, sometimes with state support and sometimes collectively.
This paper analyzes the improvement of low-income neighborhoods in La Plata (Argentina) between 2000 and 2015, highlighting the links with organizational processes in the local labor market. Based on a methodological strategy that articulates qualitative and quantitative techniques, it presents an interactive mapping that systematizes cases and a resulting temporal and actor-based analysis. The proposal seeks to provide tools for rethinking housing improvement actions from collective and participatory paradigms. |
