This paper analyzes old approaches to poverty and contrasts them with a comprehensive theoretical perspective that includes a series of variables used in the improvement and development of low-income human settlements. Such an analysis understands housing as an inclusive and segregating object, as a source of income and as a mandatory variable in the perception of the environment that turns inhabitants into poor individuals in terms of their quality of life.
