Sumario: In the search for a conceptual delimitation of the ‘decent housing’ and the ‘adequate housing’, we conduct a literature review on large databases of academic documentation in the world, under these two expressions in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with scientometrics tools and content analysis. This reveals issues and approaches that are being researched, noting a use not differentiated between these notions in various areas of urban policy, the real estate market and the academics; situation considered important so the hypothesis that even when ‘decent housing’, ‘adequate housing’, and other related expressions are equivalent terms, they do not have the same conceptual range. Few authors address this delimitation, others debate the issue of housing rights, as well as exposed that dignity could be observed in the space, as prospects for differentiating the decent and the adequate in housing.
