The words about tenements: analysis of municipal reports and academic production in São Paulo between the 1970s and 1980s

Abstract

This article presents and analyzes the terminologies that made reference to tenements in academic researches, and reports produced by municipal public agencies between the 1970s and 1980s in São Paulo. This set of studies had the challenge of defining a tenement, identifying its manifestations and typologies, and analyzing housing conditions. In addition, the article intends to clarify the framework of housing subnormality, elaborated within the scope of the World Health Organization and the American Public Health Association in the 1960s, as it was adopted in the analyzed studies. In these agencies, the tenements came to be understood as precarious subnormal rent housing.
