          Abstract

          This article revisits the long genealogy of State intervention in informal settlements and poorly built environments throughout the 20th century, in cities such as Lisbon, Porto, Rio de Janeiro, Maputo or Macau, to better frame some socio-technical complexities involved in the current project of slum rehabilitation in Cova da Moura, Lisbon. Then, it draws upon ethnographic research with experts from the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering (LNEC) during a scientific assessment of informal dwellings to show that the “evaluation” of informal dwellings with a view to “reconfigure” them, is a socio-technical operation based on a “laboratorisation” of the dwelling, but one that is crucially dependent on the subjective-objective experience of experts.

          Translated abstract

          Este artigo revisita a longa genealogia de intervenção do Estado em assentamentos informais e outros contextos habitacionais pobres ao longo do século XX, em cidades como Lisboa, Porto, Rio de Janeiro, Maputo ou Macau, para melhor enquadrar alguns elementos sociotécnicos presentes na iniciativa de reabilitação/requalificação do bairro da Cova da Moura, Amadora, Lisboa. Depois, a partir do acompanhamento etnográfico de peritos do LNEC - Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil durante o seu trabalho, mostra como a avaliação das condições de habitabilidade dos alojamentos do bairro, conduzida com vista à sua reabilitação, se baseou numa “laboratorização” do alojamento, mas em que esta dependeu da experiência subjectiva dos peritos.
