Abstract

The work that we present brings the record of a winning proposal of the Contest of Ideas and Practices: City, Housing, and Health promoted by the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Rio de Janeiro in 2020, in which we highlight activities developed in the sphere of Housing Technical Assistance in two slum communities in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, aiming to promote better health conditions in local housing. It is often observed in upgraded slums the permanence of scenery of unhealthy conditions, despite the construction of public networks of water supply and sanitary sewage, since many local dwellings do not have adequate residential hydro-sanitary installations. We believe, therefore, that carrying out technical assistance projects for the promotion of housing improvements associated with upgrading actions in public spaces plays a vital role in improving the built environment – and in this context, the relationship with water plays an important role.
