Angola currently faces an almost impossible mission of
healing its territory and people from the wounds left
behind by nearly three decades of violent conflict. Since
peace was first installed in 2002, Angola and its entire
population have been under the world’s gaze, a fact
that has highlighted the many issues and obstacles facing this sub-Saharan country. 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.
