“…She found that the close connections between the private sector and the local government privilege the interests of the private sector. 38 She confirmed this by observing how those two generally agree on issues and form a strong voting bloc in the municipal council. She also found that the private sector has always favoured big scale projects rather than the ones that would satisfy demands for affordable housing to the poor.…”

This article examines the patterns of government intervention in social housing in Brazil to analyse the role of the private sector in the elaboration and implementation of social housing policies during the Workers' Party government. It draws on case study research and I examine areas which impact on the way social housing has been implemented since 2003 to study the concentration of decision power private construction sector has on social housing policy-making, which sets the tone of government intervention on social housing. I argue this was part of the Workers' Party's approach to neoliberal policies in a more moderated style, a type of intervention repeated on numerous occasions under previous administrations. This article concludes by noting the prominent role of the private sector in social housing developments.

“…Meanwhile, the main reason for individuals choosing a residential location is often access to employment opportunities. It makes the downtown area more conducive to the availability of decisionmaking centers, service activities, and social infrastructure such as health and education centers (Donaghy, 2013). But once people are wealthy enough to choose where they want to live and which mode of transportation they want, they tend to live far from city centers.…”

Monitoring change detection in urban land use/land use is essential as it pertains to one of the main environmental change drivers, leading to urban pressures impacting cultivated areas. Algiers' eastern area is one of the critical areas of Algiers' state, and it is affected by the growth and development of the composing residential areas. This research aims to analyze the current issues, including aspects of land use, residential patterns, residential development directions, and characteristics of the communities in residential growth areas. We used Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) data as the primary data source, and maps and statistical data as the secondary. The annual growth of urban land has been studied over the past six years in Algiers' eastern area. Descriptive statistics and spatial analysis allowed assessing the data further. Results indicate that there has been a 100% expansion of the residential regions during the decade from 2014 to 2020. Population in the expansion areas increased by 2%. Future studies should understand the impact of rapid urban lands on social, economic, and environmental sustainability. It will also close the gap between currently available data sources, especially regarding the lack of reliable data and environmental and urban planning for Algiers' municipality. This aids directly in developing experimental models to predict future changes of land with great statistical confidence.
