ARANDA DIOSES, Edith  and  CALDAS TORRES, Patricia. Social interest housing in intermediate cities of Perú. Social representations and social innovation practices. Rev. Cien. Soc. [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.52, pp.135-156.  Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 0797-5538.  https://doi.org/10.26489/rvs.v36i52.6.

In the urban context of the neighborhoods where social interest housing is located in Peru, we reflect on the daily experience of living expressed in social representations and in the social innovation practices of residents. We study representative cases of housing policy located on the periphery of intermediate cities. The construction of these neighborhoods avoids the particular characteristics of the physical, environmental and sociocultural environment. Residents generate social innovation processes to adapt the built to their individual and collective needs. The results reveal the appropriation of expandable housing and collective spaces through the social construction of the habitat to adapt the place to their expectations and ways of living in the city.
