As favelas, cortiços, assentamentos precários ainda figuram como um dos grandes problemas urbanos, especialmente nas metrópoles brasileiras. Esse processo de precarização da moradia, que se iniciou concomitantemente à intensificação do processo de urbanização, perdurou durante todo século XX. Nesse sentido, este artigo busca analisar qual o papel das instituições na produção habitacional de baixa renda entre a República Velha e o governo de Fernando Henrique Cardoso. A definição do conceito de instituições e dos seus vários tipos é realizada de modo a identificar quais eram os arranjos institucionais responsáveis pela produção habitacional de baixa renda. Ademais, analisa-se também o contexto desses arranjos e seus resultados. Deste modo, pretende-se esclarecer qual modelo foi o mais efetivo e quais são as suas características de modo a contribuir com a pesquisa acadêmica e sugerir caminhos ao problema habitacional que insiste em persistir nas grandes cidades em pleno século XXI.Palavras–chave: economia institucional, instituições, assentamentos precários, produção habitacional de baixa renda, favelas, cortiços, BNH.Abstract Favelas, slums, precarious settlements still figure as one of the major urban problems, especially in Brazilian cities.

O trabalho discute intervenções do Poder Público em favelas, a partir do caso do Poço da Draga, comunidade existente na Praia de Iracema, em Fortaleza (CE). O projeto de construção de um centro de feiras e eventos no local incluía a realocação dos favelados no bairro, em apartamentos construídos pelo governo estadual. Analisa-se o projeto de realocação do ponto de vista dos moradores, com destaque para a participação popular e o papel das ONGs. Consideram-se os moradores como sujeitos sociais concretos, e não como parte de uma idealizada “comunidade”. Assim, evidencia-se sua grande heterogeneidade em termos de situação familiar, renda, gênero, etc., bem como sua capacidade de formular alternativas que atendam a seus interesses.Palavras-chave: urbanização de favelas; Poço da Draga; Praia de Iracema; habitação popular; participação. Abstract: This paper discusses state intervention in favelas, focusing on the case of Poço da Draga, a squatter settlement located on Iracema beach, in Fortaleza. A project for building a convention center in this locality included the moving of squatters to apartments to be built in the neighborhood by the state government. The moving is analyzed from the squatters viewpoint, emphasizing popular participation and the role of NGOs. Squatters are considered as concrete social subjects, rather then a part of an idealized “community”. Thus, it becomes evident that they are heterogeneous in terms of family situation, income, gender, etc. They also can formulate alternatives that meet their interests. Keywords: urbanization; Poço da Draga; Iracema Beach; low income housing; participation.
