Objective:

To carry out a systematic descriptive exploratory analysis of the National Housing and Urban Policy and the Sustainable Urban Development Law, with the purpose of identifying the most relevant categories and subcategories of both documents.

Method:

The method used was constant comparative, which is a way of interpreting texts through coding and comparing them.

Results:

The result of the constant comparative analysis left four systematic networks, the first two were on the National Housing and Urban Policy and the remaining two on the Sustainable Urban Development Law. For the National Housing and Urban Policy, the most recurring subcategory was habitability, while in the Sustainable Urban Development Law the main subcategories found were urban planning and territorial conditioning.

Conclusion:

The norms and urban plans such as the Sustainable Urban Development Law and the National Housing and Urban Policy, through their adoption and supported by the set of subcategories that compose them, will increase economic and, above all, urban development, where the main goal is to achieve sustainable urban development.
