The present masters dissertation is dedicated to the urban study of the affordable neighbourhoods in order to understand the policies released by the Affordable Houses Programme, which promoted the habitation in Lisbon, in the thirties. The guiding lines of this work are the interpretation and analysis of the circumstances and ideals of that period. Therefore, I present, as a case of study, the 'Bairro da Encarnação', which was ordered to build by Duarte Pacheco in 1938. Its construction started two years later, in 1940. I have chosen this case of study because of the complexity of its work, with regard to its composition and the diversity of inherent themes on its design. Thereupon, the main purpose of this thesis are the reading and comprehension of its urban characteristics. The formal aspect of its composition was an innovation for the time, and it made this case of study a singular object in a set of neighbourhoods because of its foreign influences. With the reinterpretation of its concepts, it was constituted, with a new shape in the city, the biggest neighbourhood of those times in terms of area in Lisbon. The reference to the internacional models emphasises the importance of reuniting new urban concepts which were starting to show up all around the world, with the comprehension of new perspectives and approaches to habitation problems caused by industrialisation.
