In Brazilian urban contexts, especially in densely populated cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, adjoining buildings are common due to limited space and high property costs. This term is frequently used in real estate transactions, insurance claims, and urban planning discussions. In the USA, particularly in NYC, this configuration is also typical in Manhattan and other dense urban areas where shared walls between buildings are a defining architectural feature.
