Abstract
This article provides an analysis and reflection on changes in urban space in
municipal housing districts to identify relevant aspects of urban and architectural
design that could be rethought, to guarantee more flexibility of
use and the quality of life of residents. To achieve this objective, this study
focuses on four neighbourhoods in the municipality of Loures, in the district
of Lisbon. The main informal appropriations in the external public space and
in the building exteriors (e.g., configurational and/or chromatic changes of
the facades) were mapped through in situ analyses and debate sessions with inhabitants and representatives of the Municipality of Loures.
This comparative study aims to analyse informal urban dynamics as a means
for contributing to the requalification of social housing and to the well-being
of inhabitants, considering socioeconomic, architectural, and landscape
characteristics of each case under analysis.
