Resumo
Current analyses of the consequences of projects have frequently concluded that it leads the removal of urban squatters to public housing to family disintegration under the joint pressures of income reduction and payment default as well as to the flight of ex-squatters who are then replaced by families from urban neighborhoods. These hypotheses did not find support in a recent survey of dwellers of a major public housing project in Rio de Janeiro. Vila Kennedy was built some twenty years ago; it has 5,079 housing units located some twenty miles from downtown. Survey results show that most families who were removed from squatter communities some twenty years ago still live at the housing project. The author points to a number of possible reasons. First, the location of Vila Kennedy protected it from market pressures which might have led urban families to try to buy off ex-squatter residents. Second, the public housing project made feasible the physical expansion of housing units and the constitution of extended families. Third, the desire to be a home owner seemingly supplanted the sacrifices imposed by distance and housing costs. The author also discusses the question of urban removal from the standpoint of housing policies and the role of the State in the defense of citizen's rights, inclusive of the right to decent housing.
