This article addresses the role that the local State has had, through urban public policies, in the socio-urban configuration of Bariloche and what the main strategies have been in relation to the problem of access to land and housing in the post convertibility. For this we analyze the main local regulations, planning policies, land management tools and housing policies that have been developed. Through interviews, secondary sources and critical analysis of the aforementioned regulations, it is concluded that despite the fact that the city has a large number of land management tools and that the housing issue has been placed on the public agenda as a consequence Due to the housing emergency officially declared in different years, it has not been possible to structurally address the problem of production and circulation of access to land. The densification and growth of popular neighborhoods, the thousands of lots with service that cannot be completed and the hundreds of turnkey homes that exclude the popular sectors are an example of this.
