50th years of the Portuguese experience of the Saal housing program

Abstract

This article corresponds to the main objective of the SAAL4ALL research proposal, submitted to FCT, in Portugal. At the same time as we remember and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Revolution of April 25, 1974, we propose to explore and discuss knowledge and strategies, and once again highlight the importance of Democracy for the future of these communities. It is expected that the results of SAAL4ALL can help increase knowledge and literacy in four fundamental aspects: Citizenship (social relations); Built Environment (housing and public space); Policies/Practices(participatory actions); Memory.
