A mediados del siglo XX, esta ciudad sirvió como una incubadora de ideas en torno a una vivienda asequible y el desarrollo en el Perú. Expertos peruanos y extranjeros pretendieron reconstruir Cusco como una luminaria de modernidad en los Andes; sin embargo, la mayoría de estos diseños globales no se realizaron, y la clase pobre y obrera (indígenas cusqueños mayormente) tuvo que improvisar sus propias soluciones. Este trabajo propone que la experiencia cusqueña contribuyó en la formación de una política de vivienda nacional.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2022-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/historica/article/view/27291Histórica; Vol. 46 Núm. 2 (2022); 39-722223-375X0252-8894reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPenghttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/historica/article/view/27291/25572info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/272912024-05-23T17:22:09Z
