This work aims to give a critical look at the process taking place in the first half of the 90s in Argentina. Where, in the context of a radical transformation of the state and economic adjustment, current housing policies have undergone changes and heightened contradictions, where the replacement of the previous incomplete ‘provisioning system’ is evident, but the roles of the various actors are not yet in place. Meanwhile, the housing problems of the population (and the urban crisis) are aggravated by the injustices of the exclusionary economic model, the lobby of the sector’s powerful economic interests and the lack of proper perception of the problem by technicians and politicians.
