La favela, cet envers du décor de la « Cité merveilleuse », a beaucoup contribué à faire de Rio de Janeiro - et plus largement du Brésil - la terre de tous les contrastes. En ouvrant ce livre, le lecteur français pourrait donc à bon droit y voir une invitation au voyage dans un monde qui éveille sa curiosité, mais lui demeure en définitive étranger. Pourtant c'est plus encore au mouvement inverse, de l'exotique au familier, du lointain au proche, que cet ouvrage nous invite. Son propos n'est pas tant d'ajouter une nouvelle pierre à l'édifice déjà impressionnant des connaissances sur les favelas, ni d'en faire la synthèse, que d'en expliciter les conditions sociales de production. Car la favela s'« invente » au fil d'une histoire séculaire qui, du mythe d'origine en passant par le discours scientifique, mène contre toute attente à une consécration culturelle et médiatique. Analysant à la fois cette forme particulière d'habitat populaire et les réseaux d'acteurs et d'institutions qui en ont façonné l'image, Licia Valladares nous offre une contribution originale à l'histoire des sciences sociales brésiliennes, de la Première République à nos jours.

Pris dans de multiples réseaux d'appartenances et de relations qui débordent largement le cadre restreint de leur quartier, les citadins mettent en pratique des manières d'habiter qui portent l'empreinte de leur propre histoire, mais s'ajustent aussi à celles de leurs voisins. Au carrefour du devenir des immeubles et du destin de leurs occupants, les quartiers urbains ne cessent de se façonner et de se redéfinir au fil du temps. Si chacun a sa physionomie singulière, il porte aussi témoignage de toutes les lignes de force qui concourent à faire la ville et les manières d'être en ville : trajets et projets individuels, lois du marché, jeu des réseaux locaux, mémoire collective inscrite dans les maisons et les espaces de la cité... Tantôt éphémères, tantôt durables, ces ajustements mutuels entre des personnes et des lieux se révèlent ici à la faveur de l'analyse comparée de trois quartiers résidentiels situés au cœur de la ville de Lyon.

Housing policies of the central and eastern European countries are changing dramatically. Governments as suppliers of housing for the public are being replaced by market mechanisms in the private sector. To facilitate the development of housing markets, establishing well-functioning housing finance systems has emerged as an important policy issue for transition economies. This publication contains selected papers originally submitted to the workshop on housing finance in transition economies organised by the OECD in June 2000. It provides the first in-depth survey of current situations and challenges in the development of housing finance in major transition economies, in particular, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia. It also reviews current trends in housing finance in advanced market countries and their implications for transition economies.
