A autoprodução de habitação como forma de organização do espaço. A casa de madeira e zinco no bairro de Mafalala, Maputo

Abstract

The issue of decent housing dates back to the era of colonial colonial settlement and was exacerbated by the need for proximity to, having been aggravated by the need for proximity to Xilunguine (urban center). Thus, the dual phenomenon was born, catalyzed by the limits imposed by the current rigid and segregational plans. Urban segregation is a phenomenon that arises with cities and is an intrinsic process due to the constant and rapid permanent stage of transformation, the outskirts of Maputo quickly consolidated themselves as provisional spaces for the possible expansion of the "consolidated city" and developed These fundamentals are used in the way spaces are organized. In this way, there are several processes and forms of appropriation and understanding of space throughout the history of the city of Maputo, which is mainly characterized by the informality of its peripheries. In this work, it is important to scrutinize the thinking that governed and still governs the organization of the urban periphery space of the Mozambican capital, which gave rise to wood and zinc houses in various peripheral areas, but with a focus on the Mafalala neighborhood, being the most immediate case due to its location. Close to the consolidated zone. It is important to understand the various processes from the colonial installation, the colonial era itself, the post- -colonial era which can be interpreted by the immediate post-colonial period that results in the occupation of urban space by the indigenous population and a later period that lasts until the current affairs. It is important to understand the methods of self-pro- duction of the wooden and zinc house since its inception, the transformations it has undergone, the different interpretations it has had and the heritage and identity legacy it has, as well as studying existing challenges and limitations in order to respond to current and future needs.
