|
This report is the product of an international expert group meeting organised by GLTN and UN-HABITAT’s Housing Policy Section, which took place March 19-20, 2010 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The objective of the meeting was to identify, analyse, and provide recommendations for improving existing guidelines and practices related to eviction, acquisition, expropriation and compensation. Relevant guidelines were analysed from three perspectives: economic, environmental and social. During the meeting, organisational staff and issue experts: (1) reviewed and revised a research paper commissioned by GLTN and UN-HABITAT; (2) agreed on next steps for further research, development of guidelines, capacity-building and mediation for enhanced implementation of existing guidelines; (3) and mapped out respective roles and responsibilities for GLTN, UN-HABITAT and Habitat Agenda Partners in quest to address evictions. This research initiative is part of the GLTN tool development agenda and supports the work of the UN Housing Rights Programme. The meeting was co-organised with the Housing Secretariat of the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro and the Institute of Architects of Brazil.

Brazil - Charter of Commitment of Cities for secure tenure and urban governance |
|
Within the City Charter, the enormous challenge presented by the millions of Brazilians who have no access to urban land or housing, except through informal and often illegal means, along with self-help housing, which is often precarious and insecure, is recognized. The “favela” phenomenon is highlighted; and the lack of basic services and social infrastructure is discussed. High tax rates existing in Brazilian cities and the implications for the most excluded segments of the population is confirmed. The environmental implications, regional polarities, small-scale infrastructure investments, are also highlighted
