Abstract

With the Portuguese Revolution of 25 April 1974, there were notable changes in the political system, property, working conditions, health, education, culture and housing. In Porto, one of the main problems affecting the working classes was housing. Crammed into ‘ilhas’, ‘colmeias’ or ‘subalugas’ and lacking hygiene, comfort or privacy, the city's poor residents mobilised and set out to win the right to housing and the city. One of the expressions of this popular organisation was the Revolutionary Council of Porto’s Dwellers, the coordinating body of the city's various residents' committees, whose history we will deal with here.
