摘要：Abstract
«Clandestine urbanization and contemporary socio-spatial urban fragmentation: Cova da Moura’s neighbourhood in Lisbon´s periphery» It is of general consensus in urban studies that when dealing with urban segregation, this term is used to qualify the most evident forms of social division in the urban space. The city is the social and spatial con?guration that corresponds to the most evident forms of this differentiation of activities and individuals. Numerous studies have focused on the analysis of urban differentiation phenomena from a particular point of view: that of the location of domiciles. We will focus on how this residential geography and the informal housing market is interesting to the theory of socio-spatial fragmentation of the contemporary metropolis. The high demographic increase in Lisbon since the 1950s was provoked by the simultaneous development of different types of migratory movements: internal migrations with origin in rural areas of inland Portugal, the return of emigrants from African ex-colonies in 1975-76, as well as, since the mid1980s, a higher number of immigrants from African countries whose of?cial language is Portuguese (PALOP). This has resulted in the growth of housing demand, unable to be satis?ed by the formal market of private and social housing. As a consequence of this process, there has been a growth in the needs of this sector and a parallel market has developed to absorb the demand segments insolvent to the formal market: sub-letting of rooms and household divisions in lodgements of the city’s historical quarters and diffusion of shads’ neighbourhoods and clandestine housing in Lisbon’s outskirts. The case study in this text is concerned with the functioning of informal housing market in Cova da Moura’s neighbourhood, located in Amadora (?rst suburban periphery of Lisbon), as factor and condition of reproduction and capital accumulation, but also production of a increasingly splintered social division in the urban space.
