The urbanization process, linked to capitalist movements, caused the distance of the urban and rural population, disconnecting the city from the countryside. The distance between these spaces was often due to public policies, including housing, which turned to housing in cities and the advance of the agricultural frontier and large estates. This work proposes a reflective bibliographical review about the housing policies that occurred in Brazil throughout its historical and urban process, as well as issues that discourage the rural exodus. An investigation on initiatives that connect the countrysidecity spheres and that promote socio-spatial transformation was also sought, such as the modernization of agricultural techniques, autonomous markets (fairs), cooperation, direct partnerships and urban agriculture.
