Abstract

Urban access has been broadly discussed. The dialogue centers on how individuals are limited mainly because of economic conditions that impact heavily on families with lower income.

However, the less fortunate are even more restricted to social structures. In other words, the inequity conditions exist not only in an uneven income distribution but also in what has been built socially, culturally, and historically as consumption practices.

The objective of this article is to show that hosing choice is not only the result of disbursement of economic resources available, but also that the consumption of housing is also the result of what has been socially and culturally built as ways of living in each of the families and social fields.
