PRACTICES AND PUBLIC POLICIES OF TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT AND HABITAT PRODUCTION

This project aims to contribute to the development of knowledge on informal development processes and the practices that drive them, from geographically contextualized readings of the phenomenon and the analysis of its relationship with Public Land Use and Habitat Policies. Among the expected results is that it may constitute a new step in the process of exploring the modalities of informal urban development, as a scaffolding from which to observe and deepen the understanding of the modes of operation and agency mechanisms of the various actors that drive informal land markets. It is hoped that this new knowledge will fill significant gaps that persist in the knowledge of public policy makers and analysts about a phenomenon on which they seek to influence, but which they understand only superficially. Part of the results of a research process previously undertaken to identify and develop a typology of informal development management schemes in the Colombian context, and the initial study of several of them in the light of a case study in two fast-growing intermediate cities, serves as a platform for the methodological development of a systematic analysis of the practices used by the actors that drive them.

Territorial Planning, Territorial Planning Plans, Affordable housing, priority housing, habitat, Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement

This project aims to contribute to the development of knowledge about informal development processes and the practices that drive them, from geographically contextualized readings of the phenomenon and the analysis of its relationship with local and national PPs. Among the expected results of the initial phase of the project is the modular structuring of the configuration of a medium-term research agenda. Thus, establish the way to develop its components progressively, to advance to the extent that resources are leveraged to have support for it. Therefore, a key milestone will be to achieve the structuring of the work axes in such a way that there are robust bases for the application of components to obtain financing.
