This article presents an empirical study of collectives, associations, and institutions that are active in the city of Lisbon and mobilizes theoretical and methodological references of pragmatic sociology. The aim is to analyze how a set of individual complaints of evictions gained collective status, making the struggle for the right to housing in the capital’s historic center a priority on the local and national public agendas. Based on the understanding that the city’s public problems are not an objective reality, but social and political constructions, this research aims to contribute to reflections on urban activism, mapping its dissemination strategies and public awareness campaigns.Downloads
