| Sumario: |
Tenement houses are collective rental buildings, located in central areas, subdivided illegally, where the service areas and courtyards are shared. The history of tenements goes parallel with the industrialization of São Paulo and the need for worker’s dwellings near the factories. The phenomenon spread and persisted through the years. Until 1985, tenancy was seen as an issue to be eradicated. Thereafter -when the political environment opened up- housing movements began their struggle to improve conditions. This research shows in what ways the problem was dealt with and which were the solutions proposed by five consecutive administrations between 1985 and 2005. Through literature review, study of documentation, field survey of housing conditions in tenement areas and comparative analysis of the proposed solutions, the conclusion was reached that the actions of housing movements were the most important factor leading to a guarantee of rights of the tenement houses’ inhabitants. |
