Sumario:Public access to housing for the popular sectors has set up, in the last years, as one of the most pressing problems due to the segregating effects that it brings. This paper compares and evaluates the results of the new social housing production policy (key- in-hand and self-managed) carried out in the city of Buenos Aires between the years 2003 to 2013. It also analyzes the socio-urban and territorial effects of insertion of one or other housing project on a neighborhood scale, the location, its effects on displacements, and assesses whether there are differences in terms of housing ownership and city’s integration or segregation. A qualitative methodology based on primary and secondary sources was used for this analysis. Such sources were methodically triangulated in order to achieve an approach that allows the recovering of the voice and perspective of the people living in the social housing projects.
