The growth of different spaces of middle-classness in Greater Maputo
In Sub-Saharan Africa, following recent macro-economic expansion, the growth of what was a relatively small middle-class has had a significant effect on urban development. In Mozambique, middle-class growth is still difficult to evaluate, since quantitative data and related research in this domain are limited. However, there have been considerable changes in urban discourse and development praxis in the country: measures directed to middle-class …
Peri-Urban Expansion in the Maputo City Region
Urbanisation in sub-Saharan Africa has been marked by high socio-economic inequality, which continued after independence. The growth of a still ill-defined middle class has introduced new dynamics in urban space in the region, with different effects on lower-income groups, who form the vast majority of city dwellers. Access to urban land is central to these new dynamics and plays an important role in the reduction of pre-existing inequalities. In…
The Production of Urban Peripheries For and By Low-Income Populations at the Turn of the Millennium
The dynamics of rapid urbanisation and urban trends in the present neoliberal context, which arise from the production of space in the capitalist mode of production, are evident in the peripheries recently produced for and by low-income populations. This article examines these peripheries in representative southern African cities, with Maputo as the main case study, analysed in relation to Luanda and Johannesburg. Basing my argument on the overar…
Habitação de iniciativa pública em Luanda e Maputo
In the beginning of the new millennium, in a globalized neoliberal context, Luanda and Maputo witness the consolidation of different paradigms of urban intervention, associated with certain housing models of public initiative, in which vertical condominiums and single-story housing of extensive growth stand out. Taking into account the contextual specificities of these two Lusophone capitals and their great socio-territorial disparities, we resor…
Urbanismo português na cidade de Maputo
O urbanismo português caracteriza-se por um conjunto de princípios urbanísticos e processos de concepção e implementação que se foram moldando ao longo de diversos contextos e geografias, veiculando um consórcio de ideias urbanas sob o qual se construiu a identidade comum da "cidade portuguesa". Por meio da análise histórica do desenvolvimento da capital moçambicana, Maputo, e do urbanismo português nela patente desde a sua génese, procura-se ent…
Luanda e Maputo
Luanda e Maputo, duas capitais africanas da lusofonia, são marcadas por crescentes desigualdades socioespaciais. Os centros urbanizados dessas urbes, traçados pela e para a sociedade colonial e onde hoje reside a maioria da população de maiores recursos, distinguem-se dos densos e extensos subúrbios habitacionais suburbanizados, onde outrora residia a sociedade colonizada e hoje se acantona a população de menores recursos. Nos primeiros anos de i…
