Abstract(s)
In the early s, the uncontrolled growth of the suburban areas of Lisbon invading peripheral territory, was destroying the definition of its urban limits. At that moment, a new generation of Portuguese modern architecture, identifies two key-problems in the growth of the city. First, the uncontrolled expansion of its periphery, transformed into a suburb, and second, the permanent destruction of the integrity of the centre, caused by the unTualified
replacement of old buildings by new ones. But this debate had two different dimensions ± a dimension of urban design and a social one. 2n the urban design dimension, it was urgent to
review some of the principles of modern planning and to recover the permanent urban values of the historic city. But on the social dimension, the architects of the new generation unconditionally adopted the modern principles expressed in the Athens Charter, and demanded the right of the population to housing and to inhabit the city.
