The findings, organized into a database, were made available to the artists, who used them as catalysts for their work.

The proposal for the International Lato Sensu Specialization Course in URBAN PLANNING AND PUBLIC POLICY: URBANISM, LANDSCAPE, TERRITORY is structured as a research itinerary with a dual objective.

Second, by establishing relationships with the environment through research, reflection, and action, the course aims to link academic investigation with diverse public policies, based on the production of scientific knowledge systematized in a database that serves as support for Territorial and Urban Planning.

The debate will be moderated by architect, urbanist, and actress Natália Sá (PB). Furthermore, Borges and Ribeiro will launch their respective books, "O que é encarceramento em massa?"

The exhibition showcases social housing complexes in Latin America—specifically in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico—built between the 1950s and 1970s, representing an important legacy of modernity. The extensive collection of photographs, drawings, graphics, and texts regarding the projects and works researched highlights their formal and functional characteristics, construction techniques, open spaces, and social facilities, as well as their integration into the urban fabric of their respective cities. Recognizing these aspects provides a counterpoint to current Brazilian social housing production and encourages a renewal of reflection and discussion on a topic that is undeniably of vital importance to society as a whole.

Given the structural shift in the housing deficit, the rise in shared households, the inability of a large portion of the population to acquire housing through the market, and the preference of families for well-located housing over better living conditions, it is necessary to move toward a complete reformulation of housing policies in Chile.
