Ocupar, urbanizar, regularizar el dominio desde la acción colectiva. Indagaciones sobre el barrio Malvinas II de La Plata.

The experiences of social production of habitat in Latin America are countless. In all its corners, families organize themselves and, with the strength and time remaining from working hours, build their homes and neighborhoods. In these practices, organized neighborhood groups tend to develop links with social organizations, professional groups and / or state agencies that accompany the experiences in different ways. This paper aims to review what happened in the Malvinas II neighborhood of La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina), where collective action was the protagonist of the process of occupation, urbanization and ownership regularization of the neighborhood. To develop the work, secondary sources were analyzed that allowed us to know the current housing situation of the neighborhood; the existing bibliography on the case was reviewed; and interviews were conducted with residents of the neighborhood, state workers and members of social organizations participating in these processes. As a result, it was possible to reconstruct the housing process of the neighborhood, distinguish the contributions and difficulties of interactoral participation, and recognize the relevance that collective action (crossed by the temporalities and porosities of the group of actors) has in improving the popular habitat.
