Housing and Ways of Inhabiting
Objectives
This course aims to acquire knowledge about housing in the following dimensions: public policy, real estate market, ways of inhabiting and residential architecture. The contents articulate a theoretical and an empirical reflection focused on the exploration of the national reality, with particular focus on Lisbon and its metropolis, not neglecting the required international framework. The approach to be developed should combine a historical perspective with the exploration of issues that mark the current housing situation, one of the central themes of contemporary public debate.
1. To analyze the housing policies implemented in Portugal and other countries, focusing on social housing and renting;
2. To enable students to understand the cultural and sociological dimensions of the built environment through the exploration of, the one hand, the relations between the transformation of residential architecture and ways of living, and, on the other hand, the transformations of Portuguese society.
3. To provide students with the needed tools to understand the transformations of the contemporary real estate market and the new housing issues.
