Tendências recentes de segregação habitacional na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa

Public Strategies for the Promotion of Urban Art: The Lisbon Metropolitan Area Case

“…From the 1990s onward, the status of property owners has become dominant in relation to that of renters. This phenomenon became possible in large measure due to the improvement in family income and to banking loans becoming widely available (Nunes 2005;Seixas and Antunes 2019). However, the status of proprietor remains outside the reach of the more disadvantaged sections of the population who remain dependent on social housing, thus intensifying the residential segregation in the LMA.…”

“…Several studies (Malheiros 2000;Seixas and Antunes 2019) on the dynamics of physical segregation in the LMA show how after an initial moment of substantial urban growth leading to the metropolitanization of Lisbon during the 1960s and 1970s, newer waves of transformation of the LMA were followed (more specifically, the first at the end of the 1990s and the second from 2010 onward), which had a geographical and socioeconomic impact. What the studies make clear is that instead of promoting integration, the urban policies implemented increased the social and physical segregation of the most precarious communities (Alto Comissariado para as Migrações 2019; Malheiros 2002; Taviani 2019).…”

Habitação e dinâmicas sociodemográficas no Portugal contemporâneo : Contributo para uma discussão sobre “Habitação e natalidade : Enquadramento e políticas públicas”

O rácio entre custo de acesso à habitação -isto é, prestação bancária ou renda -e salário mediano do núcleo doméstico em Lisboa, por exemplo, ronda os 60 % (Seixas & Antunes, 2019), ultrapassando para o dobro as referências sobre taxas de esforço aconselhadas pelas organizações a nível internacional, isto é, cerca de 30 %. A habitação, e demais custos associados, é uma das despesas de consumo final que mais pesa nos orçamentos das famílias portuguesas e é também a que evidencia mudanças mais significativas nos últimos anos.…”

The Dysfunctional Rental Market in Portugal: A Policy Review

“…These include the crisis in the welfare state, which is already retarded and with scant provision; the residual weighting of social or public housing compared to other developed countries (2% in total); a very rigid housing market, with little mobility and with high concentration in the homeownership regime; along with a fragile and unreliable rental market, both in terms of supply and demand. Added to these weaknesses, following Portugal's accession to the European Economic Community in 1986, the latter two trends have been strengthened within the scope of the deepening liberalisation and flexibilization of the private rental system and, more recently, the financialization of the housing market in general [30][31][32][33][34].…”
