It aims to address issues related to habitat, housing, and urban planning for the generation and development of public policies. “Having this information is of great importance to us because people are not numbers, they are stories, they are families, who are going through diverse situations and we must address them with great seriousness,” remarked Mayor Azcué.
This morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué, accompanied by the Secretary of Cabinet Coordination and Treasury Pablo Ferreyra and the President of the Municipal Autonomous Housing and Land Institute (InVyTAM) Giuliano Rossi, received members of the National University of San Martín (UNSAM), led by coordinator Máximo Badaró.
Representatives of the social organization TECHO, who have been carrying out the construction of 130 emergency housing solutions in 3 neighborhoods of the city, took part in the meeting.
The meeting aimed to celebrate the signing of a Framework Cooperation Agreement between the parties, with the purpose of carrying out actions related to planning, identifying solutions, and developing policies for the improvement of habitat, housing, and urban planning in the city.
Thus, the agreement establishes the articulation between the Municipal Autonomous Housing and Land Institute and the Interdisciplinary School of Advanced Social Studies of the UNSAM. “Its purpose is to promote academic training, research, technical advice, and assistance in the development of public policies,” the document highlights.
FAMILIES, NOT NUMBERS
After the signing of the agreement, Mayor Francisco Azcué stated that “it is an honor to receive the prestigious University of San Martín with which we are working. This agreement will allow us to measure the impact that these houses that the TECHO organization has been building will have.”
Likewise, Azcué added: “Having all this information is of great importance to us because people are not a number, they are stories, they are families who are going through a lot of situations and we must address them with great seriousness.
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
Máximo Badaró, UNSAM-Conicet Coordinator, expressed the importance of working together with the Municipality with the purpose of making the University's services available.
“The professional technical knowledge of our University can contribute to generating information, data, and interpretations that serve the design and implementation of public policies. We hope this is the first step of a longer-term bond,” he confessed.
Finally, Rossi highlighted that in addition to the fact that “we are carrying out the construction of 130 housing modules and management plans, we must continue to articulate with different organizations: the private sector, foundations, and universities, with the aim of planning, designing, and evaluating public policies that, in this case, are reflected in this Framework Agreement.”
HABITAT OBSERVATORY
A key aspect of the agreement is the creation of a Habitat Observatory in Concordia. This body will collect, analyze, and disseminate strategic information on the housing conditions of the city, with an emphasis on neighborhood dynamics. It will also address the production of knowledge on urban poverty and develop instruments that facilitate reflection and the design of public policies.
SINGLE TENANT REGISTRY
Among the specific initiatives, the implementation of a Single Tenant Registry (RUI) is included to generate statistical evidence on renting in Concordia and guide municipal actions. Likewise, spaces for community dialogue will be established, databases will be consolidated, and the design of diagnoses and evaluations for the improvement of housing programs will be promoted.
