Abstract

This article compares housing projects in Asunción (Paraguay) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), identifying tactics to adapt them to the needs of evicted populations. It argues that standardized housing developments enforce civilizing norms, while informal adaptations by residents resist such controls. Both cases were analyzed through fieldwork at different times, using social research methods and ethnography. The research reveal that authorities aim to keep relocated populations under control, while residents creatively adapt spaces in resistance. This highlights the clash between enforced norms and individual needs, echoing questions about rights in the city space.
