| Summary |
"Habitações Operarias" by Teixeira Bastos is a socio-political treatise written in the late 19th century. This book examines the dire state of worker housing in urban Portugal, specifically focusing on Lisbon, and discusses broader social issues linked to inadequate living conditions for the working class. As part of the "Bibliotheca Popular de Orientação Socialista" series, it seeks to raise awareness about the need for reform in housing policies and practices. In the text, Bastos presents a thorough analysis of the deplorable housing conditions faced by workers in Lisbon. He describes overcrowded and unsanitary living environments, highlighting the social implications and health risks that arise due to such conditions. The author references various attempts at reform both in Portugal and other countries, advocating for government intervention and the role of society in creating affordable and hygienic accommodations for the lower classes. Ultimately, "Habitações Operarias" serves as a call to action, urging stakeholders—government, employers, and society at large—to prioritize the establishment of decent living conditions for the working population to improve their overall quality of life.
