Description
Summary:The popular habitat has evolved greatly over the last few decades. In a new context, of economic growth and liberalization of the real-estate market, we seek to characterize the changes and continuity in the strategies of the founding families of the Lima slums. We argue that the families that guided the initial process of development were guided by a logic of necessity while the the second generation is guided by a logic of accumulation. This was demonstrated based on the example of the self-managing urban community of Huaycán, which has been in the process of urbanization for 33 years.
