CONFLICTS OF USABILITY AND THE INCREASE IN AVAILABILITY OF COMPACT APARTMENTS IN THE INSULAR AREA OF FLORIANOPOLIS-SC

Abstract

This article pertains only to buildings with permanent residence within apartments, in other words, vertical structures designed for multifamily residential use. The increase in the availability of compact apartments with an ever smaller living area than that of the current restriction for minimum dwelling sizes has become a trend in the real estate market of large Brazilian capitals. This residential category can contribute to the reduction of the housing shortage as it accommodates different social classes.
