Summary

During the XIX century, the problem of housing in Europe acquired an unusual character. In an attempt to palliate its incidence, the Spanish state promulgated, between 1911 and 1936, the sp-called Laws on Cheap Housing. Barakaldo, Portugalete, Sabadell and Terrassa, the four towns analysed, participated in the construction of cheap housing with varying intensity, allowing us, finally, to glimpse the disability of that set of laws to restore the natural balance between inhabitants and dwellings.
