Abstract

Housing management occurs according to the logic of the public, the commercial, or the need. Since the
1980s, the province of San Luis has exhibited a migratory phenomenon that transformed its population
dynamics. Likewise, it was characterized by developing a policy of mass housing production. In this work, the
historical and spatial evolution of housing production between 1983 and 2020 was investigated, focusing on
the relationship between the logic of public and necessity. The interrelation of institutional data, census and
cartographic information, speeches and surveys carried out was used. State housing production represents
58% of total housing, however this growth has slowed since 2004, while slums, which today represent 8% of
housing, began to experience notable growth. accentuated since 2011.
