Community-led housing as an alternative to the advance of militias in Rio de Janeiro

Resumo

This article examines the evolution of militias’ actions in the urban real estate scenario of Rio de Janeiro, highlighting the complex interaction between these groups and the housing market, particularly in popular neighborhoods and projects under the Minha Casa Minha Vida program. Based on the hypothesis that militia domination over space occurs more easily in demobilized territories, alternative housing practices are investigated, characterized by the strengthening of collective land management forms: housing cooperatives, self-governance, and the Community Land Trust. The study’s main objective is to present proposals and draw parallels between these organizationalforms and the phenomenon of militias, identifying their potential and limitations in confronting armed territorial control.
