Abstract
From 2015 to 2016, we were involved in urban and land tenure regularization projects addressed to a housing estate, called Carlos Gomes, and a favela named Hípica, located, respectively, in the neighborhoods of Barretos and Charitas in the city of Niterói, in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro. This article aims to reflect on this experience in order to understand if these projects break or reinforce the paradigm that has marked the relationship between the State and squatter settlements. To carry out this analysis, we look at the Programa Papel Passado and the way how it happened in the locations where we operated.
