The pavilion at the Venice Biennale exhibited four notable works by Álvaro Siza on Social Housing – Campo di Marte (Venice); Schilderswijk (The Hague); Schlesisches Tor (Berlin); and Bairro da Bouça (Porto) – revealing his participatory experience with the local inhabitants, and his peculiar understanding of the European city and citizenship. Those projects have created true places of neighbourhood, an important subject of the current European political agenda, towards a more tolerant and multicultural society. This book also reveals the major social and urban changes which took place in these neighbourhoods: processes triggered by immigration, ghettoization, gentrification and “touristification” of cities.
