The Pinochet dictatorship radically changed Chile’s public housing policies in the 1980s. Fernanda Rojas-Ampuero examines the characteristics of these policies, focusing on affordable housing and slum clearance. She divided her chapter into two parts. The first documents the changes to affordable housing policies and the characteristics of public housing units built after 1975. The second describes policies targeting slum dwellers and discusses the existing economic evidence on the impact of building public housing in peripheral neighborhoods on families’ and children’s socioeconomic outcomes.
