Item Co-creation of public open places. Practice - Reflection - Learning(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2020) Costa, Carlos Smaniotto, ed.; Mačiulienė, Monika, ed.; Menezes, Marluci, ed.; Marušić, Barbara Goličnik , ed.The chapters of this book bring science a little closer to the knowledge about the design, production and management of public spaces. 37 authors responded to the Project’s call to share experiences, visions and reflections on how co-creation and participatory processes can create possibilities for a sustainable and equitable future. This book intends to help researchers, governments and community leaders to move from insights to more collaborative actions.Item Enhancing Places through Technology(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2017) Zammit, Antoine, ed.; Kenna,Therese, ed.The Brazilian city of Curitiba, capital of the Southern state of Parana, is well-known globally for a series of interesting planning initiatives and choices promoted through its recent history by some of its administrators, amongst which probably the most prominent has been the architect-planner Jaime Lerner. One of the most notable pieces of innovation in the city, enjoying a global resonance, was the original design of the mass transport system known as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Thanks to various ideas, mainly related to the ‘tube’ design of the bus stops and the consequent affordance of a very fast exchange of alighting and boarding passengers, the operations of the BRT’s long buses could be almost as efficient as that of an underground system. The story of the design and evolution of the BRT presents an interesting – albeit indirect – point of reflection for those involved in efforts of ‘smartening up’ the city through the application of technology. Lerner often tells the story of bus drivers solving through an extremely simple and low-tech idea – the application of two small marks on the bus’s window and the stop’s structure to allow drivers to always stop at exactly the same position – a problem that otherwise would have called for complex and expensive hi-tech solutions [1]. Similarly, when the BRT system was augmented with a new ‘express’ type of bus that would not call at all stops, allowing for quicker longer-haul transfers within the city, the issue of allowing such buses not to be blocked by slower vehicles stationing at facing stops in narrow roads arose. Again, this could have easily called for all sorts of smart, digital ‘solutions’, such as geo-locating the vehicles, sensing their presence and mutual position, maybe automatically controlling their speed through actuators in their engines linked with the centrally managed system. What was done, however, was rather smart indeed, yet involving no high technology. Simply, opposed stops were moved slightly, so that they would be staggered and allow enough space for the express buses to go through even when two slower vehicles were loading passengers at both sides of the road. This points at two key hints that matter in smart – in its wider sense – space design. One is of course the importance of simplicity. The other one, however, is the often underplayed – if not entirely forgotten in contemporary digitally-driven urban visions – importance of physical space and the role and agency it has in the city.Item A framework to grasp socio-territorial relationships : a conceptual path(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Menezes, MarluciThis chapter proposes an introductory conceptual framework to better understand some aspects of everyday relations of people and spaces. From the perspective of anthropology of space, it first provides a reflection on issues that are important for understanding these relationships, to then, in a second step, address the relevance of walking as a method to trigger a sensitive path. This chapter aims to raise the interest for urban planning that is more attentive to the multidimensionality of socio-territorial relations. To explore the sensitiveness of urban space it is important to consider (a) the perspective of users in terms of symbolic dimensions, socio-spatial and cultural practices, and sense of happiness and well-being; (b) the articulation between behavioural dimensions, sociocultural dynamics and the environment; (c) the approximation of concepts and categories to understand space from the perspective of different disciplines. Keywords - Attentiveness, socio-territorial relations, walking, urban planningItem How daily life impacts social science(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Galhardo, JacquesI would like to put forward my point of view as a French researcher on my Portuguese field of research (Mouraria/Lisbon). This reflection is thus the fruit of a back and forth between frequently used social science concepts – gentrification, fragmentation and segregation – and my own field experience. More precisely, I seek to understand why a gap exists between what we observed and these concepts. My hypothesis is that one possible answer lies in a conflict of temporalities: those of institutions and public organisations, those of companies, those of researchers and, finally, those of individuals who fall outside the previous categories. Starting with the latter, I approach the concept of daily life as a relationship between time and space, which is part of a process of remoteness based on the minimisation of risk as envisaged by Heideggerians. This tendency towards spatio-temporal proximity often contradicts our theoretical concepts. Keywords - Temporalities, spatialities, concepts, spatial being, daily life.Item Neighbourhood & City - Between digital and analogue perspectives(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2019) Menezes, Marluci, ed.; Costa, Carlos Smaniotto, ed.The aim of this volume is to promote discussion and critical thinking on the urban environment at the intersection of neighbourhood and the city from an interdisciplinary and multidimensional perspective, encompassing their socio-spatial relations.Item Rios urbanos na Ibero-America: casos, contextos e experiencias(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Costa, Carlos Smaniotto, ed.; Menezes, Marluci, ed.; Pallares-Barbera, Montserrat, ed.; Pastor, Gabriela, ed.; Rocha, Eliana do Pilar, ed.; Villalba Condori, Klinge O., ed.Item Territorial capacity and inclusion: co-creating a public space with teenagers(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Costa, Carlos Smaniotto, ed.; Menezes, Marluci, ed.; Batista, Joana Solipa, ed.This book provides insights regarding the involvement of teenagers in the co-creation of public open spaces. It brings together conceptual reflections and an exploratory case study in Lisbon. It is an attempt to point out the intangible benefits of engaging young people in placemaking to academics, practitioners, policymakers, students, and all parties concerned with urban development. This book aims at inspiring progressive placemaking and co-creation processes. It attempts to reframe the debate on how vulnerable members of the community access public spaces, what their needs are, and what their response would be to a more people-centred urban design. It is with respect to these points that the book Territorial capacity and inclusion: Co-creating a public space with teenagers explores and analyses the engagement of teenagers in the production of public spaces. A group who rarely have opportunities to be heard and for their views to be considered. On these particular matters, the teenagers’ perspective takes central stage by seeking to explore what their engagement means for spatial inclusiveness and responsivenessItem The Making Of The Mediated Public Space Essays on emerging urban phenomena(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2017) Costa, Carlos Smaniotto, ed.; Ioannidis, Konstantinos, ed.The critical role of wireless connectivity and the easy access to fast, automated, databases and information technology during most of our outdoor activities can be hardly disputed. The way the urban fabric is being experienced along with the affects to the phenomenal and experiential dimensions of public open spaces, is nowadays quite different few decades ago, thanks to the hyperactivity and new hybrid realities to which we are constantly exposed (Castells, 2004).Item Understanding and transforming the territory: new approaches and perspectives(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Costa, Carlos Smaniotto, coord.; Aragão, Nagayamma Kaymir Tavares de Sousa, coord.
