MOREIRA, Maria da Graça. Reviewing the geography of the quarter and the dwelling: several uses in the same space. Finisterra [online]. 2020, n.115, pp.133-138.  Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/finis20360.

The organization of dwelling in cities has undergone major changes in the last 100 years, whether by the introduction of new theories of urbanism that discussed urban structure and morphology, by the form of the implantation of the residential blocks or by the internal organization of the housing. Social and cultural conditions adapted the spaces to their needs, which have now been abruptly called into question by COVID-19. This text reflects briefly on the existing city, its morphology, housing and the needs that were felt when a significant part of the active and student population had to stay at home for several weeks. It also reflects on the characteristics that the house plan must contemplate to adapt to the teleworking of several family members simultaneously.

Keywords : Neighbourhood morphology; housing typologies; block typologies; urban health; Covid-19.
