Resumen

: El presente artículo parte de establecer el origen y uso del término "informalidad", así como la caracterización de los asentamientos urbanos de ese tipo, aportar una mirada histórica y un acercamiento desde la academia, para luego ofrecer una visión multiescalar; estableciendo cómo el reconocimiento de esta situación ha hecho surgir los llamados Programas de Mejoramiento, tanto los de vivienda, como los barriales y los integrales. Una revisión de las diferentes escalas que se presentan en la Producción Social del Hábitat, las fuertes diferencias que aún se mantienen entre la oferta formal y la informal de vivienda, y la clara incidencia de quien hace ciudad, y a su vez hace sociedad, lleva a considerar que la esencia de los Programas de Mejoramiento debería fortalecer los procesos sociales que se dan en los barrios informales para así garantizar su continuidad. Se proponen diversas variables de análisis con el ánimo de lograr intervenciones más integrales y continuas.

Abstract:

The present article start to establish the origin and use of the term "informality", as well as the characterization of urban settlements of this type, to provide a historical vision, and an approach from the academy, then to offer a multiscale vision; establishing how the recognition of this situation has given rise to the so-called Improvement Programs, both housing, neighborhood and integral. A review of the different scales that are presented in the Habitat Social Production, the strong differences that still exist between the formal and informal offer of housing, and the clear incidence of who makes city and in turn makes society, leads to consider that the essence of the Programs of Improvement should be to strengthen the social processes that occur in the informal neighborhoods to guarantee their continuity. Various analysis variables are proposed with the aim of achieving more comprehensive and continuous interventions.
