Abstract
The article analyzes the policy of intervention in slums in the Municipality of Curitiba in the 1980s, marked by the emergence of another paradigm, with the replacement of eradication by urbanization and land tenure regularization of the settlements. It derives from a larger research, which studies the policy of intervention in favelas in the municipality between 1965 and 2018, for which bibliographic, documentary and survey research procedures were used. The transformation of the intervention model in these spaces in the decade studied was also observed in other Brazilian cities, with pioneering experiences that in the following decades disseminate and improve the slum urbanization programs and projects in Brazil. At the local level, these changes resulted from the protagonism of the social movement in the suburbs, in a context of redemocratization of the country and criticism of urban planning carried out in the 1960s and 1970s. Important changes are recognized in relation to the critical interpretation of the slum process, the incorporation of popular demands in policy design and intervention projects, and in the development of instruments and actions for consolidating settlements. It was found, however, that the most radical proposals remained in an embryonic stage, advancing and qualifying little in the following decades.
