Transformation of the Social Housing Question: Main Approaches and Perspectives. The Case of Argentina in the Latin American Context

In this paper we present a revision of the main approaches to study the housing problem as well as the different solutions that have been proposed in the past. We analyze documental sources which allow us to identify the following approaches: The hygienic approach as a response to the degraded housing conditions of the wage-earning class created by the industrial revolution; the central-sectorial approach adopted during a Welfare State period & the alternative & structural approaches which co-existed as a result of the hegemonic viewpoint. Finally, we reflect upon the urban-territorial & inclusive. In particular, we analyze the case of Argentina in the Latin American context. References. Adapted from the source document.
