Spatially and socially progressive state policy and programs : the case of Brazil's National Housing Bank

Auteur :
KLAK, T.

Description :
Three state theories are compared and assessed in the context of an empirical analysis of the performance of the National Housing Bank, which set ambitions goals of spatially and socially progressive resource redistribution. BNH has been able to transfer substantial resources to the urban periphery, fulfilling its spatial objective and demonstrating how the state can spatially disperse resources, but has had far less success with its social objective of providing housing loans to the periphery's poor.
