Características habitacionales en Jujuy, Argentina, en la primera mitad del siglo XX

Abstract

This paper examines the housing situation of the population of the province of Jujuy in the first half of the twentieth century, in light of the changes and continuance in the process of local economic growth. Much is known about the problem of housing in Argentina, especially in the River Plate area, but little has been deepened on its characteristics and implications in other regions such as the Northwest. Thus, the focus of the observation in Jujuy not only is rescued this provincial experience but it has also revealed certain housing traits shared in this region. In this study it is provided new contributions that are articulated with the national knowledge and, when possible, also discussed.
