Care(4)Housing: Final Presentation

We invite you to the Final Presentation of the Care(4)Housing project – A care through design approach to address housing precarity (“Cuidar d(a) Habitação”), funded by FCT (PTDC/ART-DAQ/0181/2021).

The presentation will be held on 15 December at 16:30, at Iscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Building 4, Avenida das Forças Armadas, 40 Floor 3, Auditorium A302. [Link to Map]

Since 2022, Care(4)Housing has combined interdisciplinary research with in-depth fieldwork to analyse how housing precarity shapes everyday life and to map spatial care practices in vulnerable neighbourhoods across the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. This work was developed in close dialogue with communities, technical teams, researchers, and institutions.

At a time when housing is central to public and political debate—and when greater attention to the real living conditions of vulnerable populations is urgently needed—we believe it is essential to share these results, which aim to support better diagnoses, better policies, and better practices in housing and urban development.

The session will include a presentation of the project’s main outputs, followed by a collective discussion introduced by anthropologist Ana Rita Alves, whose extensive experience in housing has been crucial for deepening these debates.

We look forward to your presence.
