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

Keywords : residential spaces; consumption; production of value.
