The Argentine government that took office in 2003 abandoned the neoliberal guidelines of the 90’s and introduced a new line of government intervention in economy and society. In this framework, the government introduced, as one of its main strategies, a large scale investment in public works in order to boost economy and to generate jobs. In order to fulfill this goal, the Executive Power organization was restructured and the Ministry of Federal Planning Public Investment and Services, which is a centralized organization in charge of these actions, was opened. Likewise, changes in housing policies were introduced as one of the main governmental strategies, focusing on the habitat improvement and the reactivation of production. This paper depicts the changes and general continuities that were introduced compared to the ones applied in the 90’s using a comparative analysis methodology.
