Like other consumer goods, residential spaces can also be understood as an object which can be valued, consumed and used as an important element in the identification, differentiation and negotiation of social belonging among individuals and groups. Based on a comparative analysis between two residential areas located in Lisbon – Príncipe Real and Parque das Nações –!this article aims to explore the consumption and the valuation of residential space as products socially produced and whose value goes beyond the economic dimension.
