Abstract

Given the large number of irregular and precarious residences in urban spaces, Brazil regulated the right to decent housing and the policy for land regularization, questioning the social function of urban property. By means of qualitative research (a bibliographic and document analysis, complemented by a focus group) this article analyzes the policy for regularization of land in the social interest as a mechanism for assuring the right to housing, highlighting, among the various precarious settlements in Londrina, Paraná, the city’s first urban settlement, União da Vitória, which rose in the 1980s. As a result, it explains that this policy has still not been totally consolidated by the municipal government and remains a great challenge beyond the legal security of possession of an urban lot.
