About the Book

A compendium on the history and development of subsidized housing in Europe of the twentieth century.

Social housing has a long tradition in Europe. Since the early twentieth century, these often anonymously built and unappreciated structures have arisen all across the suburbs of Europe's major cities. In the multidisciplinary and international research project Mapping Public Housing, the Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture has been tracing the architectural heritage of social housing. The findings demonstrate that, in many cases, vibrant neighborhoods and entire city districts have emerged from such social housing programs.

This book takes a closer look at exemplary developments in Germany, Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Spain. The case studies cover a wide range of social and historical contexts, from the beginnings of social housing in Portugal sparked by German investment during World War I to the propaganda policies associated with subsidized housing for the working class in the 1940s, and to sustainable concepts and ideas for the future. Hidden in Plain Sight offers a wide-ranging panorama that recognizes the development of subsidized residential construction as a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the important role that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the European welfare state. A contemporary photo essay on a 1960s social housing complex in Lisbon rounds out this volume.

About the Author: Rui Jorge Garcia Ramos and his collaborators Virgílio Borges Pereira, Marta Rocha Moreira, and Sérgio Dias Silva work at the Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism (CEAU), a research unit at University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture. Since 1994, CEAU has been conducting interdisciplinary research projects such as Mapping Public Housing.
