This article aims to expose the problem of housing in conjunction with the urban space production in the city of Praia. We have tried to demonstrate the access or the elimination of social branch towards the space produced by legal production in the capital of Cape Verde. From the empirical analysis of the intervention of the different performers in the production of space, we made fundamental elements for understanding the logic of production and supply of real estate. On the other hand, understand the role played by the informal sector in the resolution of the housing deficit in the Cape Verdean capital.
