Abstract
In this article, we sought to discuss the daily changes and psychosocial implications caused by the implementation of the Vila Viva Program in the Aglomerado da Serra, Belo Horizonte, MG. Using interviews, documents elaborated by the public authority and dérives in the locality, we observed the existence of contradictions between the official discourse and the reality lived by the residents. Although the enterprise has guaranteed several rights to the population, the same falls under the anti-favela logic, failing to observe residents’ ways of life, which leads to their little appropriation of intervention products. It is pointed out to the need of the public power to explore other possibilities and to broaden the dialogue in order to guarantee interventions in which the residents are agents of the transformations of their physical-social world, surpassing the technicist discourse on urbanity and housing, comprising them as significant daily exchange spaces.Downloads
