Abstract

Chilen social housing policy is considered a success. During the last fifteen years the massive housing production has managed to reduce housing deficit, and many Latin American governments are imitating it financing model. However, this succesfull policy has ended up by creating new urban and social problems: segregation, fragmentation, insecurity, overcrowding. Consequently, it is pointed that a proper housing policy must currently include new criteria, mainly related to the quality of the product, the locating of the built neighborhoods and beneficiaries residential mobility.
