The presented task brings before the public a reflection about the current orientation over the brazilian housing politics concerning the interference in areas of flawy bases, without removal of dwellers, in order to garantee their permanence on restructured places. The axis of the investigation relies on the following question: In what degree does the current orientation of the brazilian housing politics of interference in flawy bases, without removal of the population, may garantee effective permanence of the dwellers in these places, particularly the “Projeto de Urbanização e Habitação da Vila da Barca” (“Vila da Barca” Urbanization and Housing Project). The study relies on theoretical references about the production of the capitalist city and the unbalanced appropriation of urban land, which cause impact on the constitution of flawy bases, as a home space for part of the brazilian working rank, who cannot access the real state private market, due to the mechanisms to form the prices of the urbanized land. The research was developed on the basis of the dialectic method, adopting the bibliographic, documental and field data gathering, having 35 dwellers interviewed, those who were replaced by the urbanistic project of “Vila da Barca”. The results show that flawy forms of popular housing, settled on diseased and inappropriate areas, such as tenement and slum-dwellings, and, concerning Belém, the suburbs were repressively removed by the government along history. It‟s understood that the standardized urbanistc projects develop nowadays towards the fulfilment of housing needs of workers, even if presenting in their configuration the permanence issue, preserve the interests of the production of the capitalist city, and bring to evidence the logic of the social-space segregation, for they don‟t set consistent changes in the families‟ reality. Besides, on the contrary of what‟s spread by the government‟s speech, the accomplished research in “Vila da Barca” shows that such projects don‟t manage to guarantee the permanence of dwellers in places suffering intervention, once they tear the families‟ survival strategies apart, who, without financial conditions and unable to afford new homes (urban services‟ taxes), tend to sell the realty that was meant to be theirs, reproducing the previous life conditions in other flawy bases. This way, the “Projeto Vila da Barca” (“Vila da Barca” Project), concieved to solve the homing situations of the families in the area, generated severe consequences to themselves, specially the wrecking of their occupational activities, showing the limits of governmental intervention, according to the production of the capitalist city.
