Abstract

We analyze the impacts and limitations of the Argentine Bicentennial Credit Program for Single Family Housing (ProCreAr), a countercyclical public policy that sought to combine the revitalization of the economy and the generation of employment with access to housing by the middle sectors. The absence of a clear policy in the production and regulation of urban land explains the existence of decoupling between the macroeconomic and territorial dimensions of the program, which are expressed not only in the deficit of urban land at the time of its implementation but also in the effects of the implementation itself. The challenges and potentialities that habitat - as a multidimensional reality -have for the social and productive development of the country are discussed. As well as the place that science and technology could take in those processes.
