The session proposes to discuss the multiple forms of production and transformation of social housing in popular territories, with a focus on socio-environmental inequalities and the impacts of climate change. Studies will be brought together that analyze both the actions of the State — whose large-scale housing production has often generated unsustainable and vulnerable spaces — and the autonomous initiatives of the population. The proposal includes research on public policies, territorial conflicts, adaptation strategies and social participation, with special attention to the experiences of socially and politically marginalized groups, such as women, the elderly and racialized populations. By promoting the exchange of diverse perspectives, the session seeks to contribute to the critical debate on climate justice and the right to housing, emphasizing the strategic role that the housing fabric plays in the discussion by aggravating or mitigating the climate crisis.
