Ines Magalhães da Silva is one of the leading policymakers globally in the area of housing, slum upgrading and urban inclusion. She has served as Brazil’s Minister of Cities until May 2016. Prior to this she served as the National Housing Secretary during the period 2005-2016. She led the formulation and implementation of Brazil’s housing and slum upgrading policies over the past decade, including two of the world’s largest public investment programs – Minha Casa Minha Vida (my house, my life) which delivered over 3 million housing units since 2009 and PAC Urbanização (Growth Acceleration Program’s Slum Upgrading Program) which has improved living conditions for millions of households living in Brazil’s favelas in the past decade. Ms. Magalhães also led the formulation of Brazil’s policy and regulatory framework governing Involuntary Resettlement and social work in the housing and urban development sectors, a path breaking legislation to ensure project-affected persons are not left worse off as a result of development-induced displacement. Prior to this, she was the director of slum upgrading at the Ministry and held senior positions in local government in the State of Sao Paulo. Ms. Magalhães da Silva is a sociologist and urban planner by training and has 30 years’ experience in housing, urban development and institutional capacity building at central and local government level.
