This is particularly important when a significant number of dwellings and reurbanisation actions are envisaged to be carried out in extensive areas that would require technically robust urban planning and housing interventions.

Organization and Local Support
CIHEL Congress will be hosted by Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) in conjunction with the Group Habitar (GH) – association with headquarters at the Architecture and Town-Planning Division (NAU) of LNEC, and in co-operation with various public and private bodies, also committed with the organisation of this congress and which will be listed in the 2nd Circular.

Framework
The main goal of this 2nd CIHEL is to develop a comprehensive and multifaceted approach of the theme “Housing, Cities, Territory and Land Use Development”. This theme is seen as extremely opportune, in the light of the significant number of dwellings and reurbanisation actions that are due to be carried out in extensive areas of Lusophone countries affected by serious housing and urban planning deficiencies, the housing approach emphasising an extensive and correct meaning and taking into account the quantitative, qualitative, urban, territorial and environmental aspects and their role as an essential means of socio-economic development of the respective countries.

The awareness of the significant weight of the dynamics of the housing construction/rehabilitation and of the urban expansion in the development of a country is ever-present in this theme, as is the notion that this powerful tool of economic growth must be judiciously organised so that this development can be achieved within socially and culturally valid paths, which are dully adapted to each national, regional and local context.

For instance, as regards the housing promotion, including the one intended for relocation actions, special mention can be made to the fact that there is absolutely no sense in repeating, in certain national and geographic realities, the technically poor solutions that have been previously developed in other countries and regions. In fact, it makes no sense whatsoever in failing to disseminate the good practices adopted in housing and urban actions.

Besides, as mentioned by António Reis Cabrita in the conclusions of the 1st CIHEL congress: “The realities in the different countries are completly different but the ontological and universal dimension of housing and the similarity in many deficiencies fully justify the advantages of a mutual learning. Furthermore, in this particular case, such mutual learning is done by sharing a common language and a certain cultural brotherhood provided by the language”.

The 1st CIHEL has had an informative character and has been focused on a specific set of housing and urban topics, whereas this 2nd CIHEL, with a more comprehensive title “Housing, Cities, Territory and Land Use Development”, points to a wider and more diversified approach to these topics, either as refers to their component elements, or as regards their influence, hopefully positive, on a balanced but meaningful development of the respective countries.

Organisation
The Congress will be promoted and hosted by the Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) in conjunction with the Group Habitar (GH) - non-profit making technical and scientific association with headquarters at the Architecture and Town-Planning Division (NAU) of LNEC -, and in co-operation with various public and private bodies, also committed with the organisation of this congress and which will be soon disclosed.
