Social interest housing policy have suffered the limitations imposed by the management of urban soil as a commodity. This entrepreneurial approach is behind Minha Casa Minha Vida Program and has contributed to the peripherization of cities, under the argument of lack of available land in central areas, endowed with urban infrastructure. This article puts in check this argument, with basis on a study taking as reference part of the central area of the municipality of Petrópolis (RJ), where idle estates were identified for building edification, in a number sufficient to attend 60% of the local housing deficit. From this, it is signalized to the municipality, the need of deeply acknowledging its own urban tissue by means of a multi aspect record that supports the planning of housing policy and includes in its database the properties that do not fulfill its social role.
