Social Housing in São Paulo: Challenges and New Management Tools

In June 2009, the Cities Alliance published the English-language version of Social Housing in São Paulo: Challenges and New Management Tools. This publication highlights the Cities Alliance’s on-going technical cooperation with the São Paulo Municipal Housing Secretariat (SEHAB) on urban projects.    

Social Housing is based largely on the development of HABISP – a central database containing detailed information about São Paulo’s precarious settlements, informal land subdivisions and slum tenements.
