LAND REGULARIZATION AND THE RIGHT TO HOUSING: PATHS TO DIGNITY AND SOCIAL INCLUSION IN BRAZIL

Abstract

The Urban Land Regularization - or also called REURB - was developed to implement environmental and social measures aimed at legal protection for real estate and the reduction of conflicts related to housing in the urban environment. Land Regularization, protected by Federal Law No. 13,465 of 2017, transforms irregular properties into legalized properties, guaranteeing not only the social right to housing, but also access to public services. This article aims to analyze REURB as a tool for the realization of this right, highlighting the illegal guidelines, the challenges of implementation and the social and urban impacts of this public policy. Through a qualitative approach, the research analyzes the pertinent legislation and practical implementation experiences. The results point to advances in the improvement of living conditions, but also highlight barriers such as bureaucracy and the lack of resources to ensure the full effectiveness of the policy. the article proposes, at the end, strategies to improve the implementation of REURB, aiming at inclusion and access to citizenship.
