The urban question in Brazil - translated as the right to the city and to dignity housing - in the three last decades has passed by intense transformations in its regulatory landmarks and in its forms of involvement of different institutions and citizens located in the society and in state apparatus. Since the debates that had preceded the National Constituent Assembly, in the decade of 1980, the mobilization has been intense and marked by tensions between diverse actors. We aim to demonstrate the incorporations of different citizens by democratic participatory processes, such as councils and conferences, the achievements of the consolidation of specific legislation and current limits of the Urban Policy.
