Trip to the Pink Panther
Guided tour of the Pink Panther
With Joana Pestana Lages
Chelas is no longer Chelas. Is it? The visit to the Lóios neighbourhood, [formerly ‘Zone N2’ of the Chelas Urbanisation Plan], will begin at the Pink Panther, a nickname already registered with SIPA (Information System for Architectural Heritage) and continue through old farms, new vegetable gardens and housing cooperatives, a territory designed to respond to a city ideal that we can question today. Streets, galleries and bridges make up the colossal complex designed and built between 1972 and 1979 by Gonçalo Byrne and António Reis Cabrita, influenced by other megastructures such as the Gallaratese by Aldo Rossi / Carlo Aymonino (1967 -1974) or Park Hill designed by Jack Lynn / Ivor Smith (1957 -1961). The appropriation of the inhabitants and the negotiation implicit in the use of collective spaces, along with the (re)qualification of the facilities, inform the visit to this system of blocks centred on a public square. According to Gonçalo Byrne, the Pink Panther rethinks ‘city making’, comprising an alternative to the urban solutions adopted in Chela’s plan, having welcomed many of the inhabitants of the shanty town known as Quinta do Narigão. By questioning the current ‘housing crisis’, the visit serves to understand the role of architecture in the service of societal issues that have spatial implications.

Social Housing Policies in Lisbon: A 50-Year Overview
Gonçalo Antunes, NOVA FCSH
This conference aims to explore social housing policies in Lisbon from 1974 to the present day. The primary focus will be on housing policies that facilitated the slum clearance and the subsequent replacement with new public housing ensembles. On this matter, some questions arise. How significant was the housing problem in the 1970s and 1980s? What were the positive and negative aspects of this social and urban renewal? These are just a few topics that will be discussed at the conference titled “Social Housing Policies in Lisbon: A 50-Year Overview.

The housing problem trajectory in Portugal: specificities and common aspects in the international context
Sandra Marques Pereira, DINÂMIA’CET Iscte
In the second half of the 20th century, a time dominated by the welfare state model of society, comparative analyses of Portugal were always based on its negative divergence from most other countries. Today, Portugal’s situation is often compared with the international context, often frozen in time, as if the welfare state, particularly in terms of housing, remained as intact in these “more developed” countries as it was in the post-war years or even in the 1970s. But that’s not the case: the welfare state began to retreat progressively from the 1980s until the “final blow”, the financial crisis of 2008. The divergence that previously characterized the analysis should be replaced by an approach that, while not neglecting an understanding of the specificities (inherited from the past or more recent) of Portugal and Lisbon in particular, focuses on the points of convergence, namely: 1. The growing revisualization of public housing provision systems; 2. The increase in homeownership to the detriment of renting and the reversal of this trend in the post-crisis period (2008/ 2011-2014); 3. the re-emergence of housing as a central issue in the social, political and academic debate since 2016/2017; 4.the recent recovery of the role of the state (central and local) in the attempt to address (more or less urgently) the so-called global urban housing affordability crisis (Wetzstein, 2017). This presentation will begin with a brief discussion of the national housing trajectory. This will be followed by a characterization of the global housing crisis, without neglecting its national and local specificities. And it will end with a reflection on the social and political reactions to this crisis (essentially in the Portuguese context).
