In order to address such challenges a general reconstruction strategy, which particularly emphasizes
the need to mitigate the lack of housing and related social problems, has been put in place.
Understanding and rehabilitating the country’s built environment, particularly within urban areas,
represents a paramount but much needed task to rebuild Angola as a whole. The complexity of this
task is further enhanced by the many difficulties currently affecting the poorer fringe of the population
-those who have been failing to sustainably accompany the emerging economic development of
Angola.
