    Merchants, ports and hinterlands. The building of sea-port structures in the Early Modern Porto Amândio Jorge Morais Barros * Working paper (please do not quote without permission) This article will focus on the history of relations between Porto and its hinterland between the end of the Middle Ages and throughout the Early Modern Times, and ex- amine the general conditions from which a jurisdictional kind of process generated an articulated economy. The proposal of analysis consists in demonstrate how, in the long- duration, several actions were directed from the city with the objective of extend and make effective its authority over the surrounding territory, and profiting from that. In these forewords it seems to me important to point-out some a few main ideas that will be developed in the chapters ahead, namely the territorial extension and the jurisdictional level of influence in a diachronic perspective, and the initiatives aiming its consolidation, the motivation of the whole plan and the evolution of the economic ties in the meantime established. The first-one underlines the fact that this was a fast and not by all means erratic process by which Porto achieved to control a vast territory around the city. The interven- tion over the hinterland was not an empirical attempt or a response to momentary neces- sities. It had a sense, a very concrete goal: it was thought and set in motion during me- dieval times in order to guarantee the survival in addition to the growth of city's wealth. After identifying the city's seating conditions – pretty much unfavourable 1 – the Town Hall members assumed a political speech next to the King justifying expansionist projects over the hinterland as a matter of survival 2.

Abstract: Geoengineering multidisciplinary approaches probably offer the best potential for reliable surface and groundwater studies and the assessment of the variability in geospatial parameters, such as, lithological heterogeneity, structural geology features and geomorphology of a specific site. The Porto City was built in the 12th century and has been developed on granitic hill slopes of the Douro riverside, and is one of the oldest cities in Europe. In the urban area of Porto City, the second most important city of the Portuguese mainland, there is a human population of about 1 million. Hydrogeological data acquisition in urban areas, in close connection with geological and geomorphological characteristics, is commonly, the key to predict the possible negative impacts of surface water / groundwater interaction. Most of the region is characterized by Variscan granitic rocks and a substratum of Upper Proterozoic and Palaeozoic metasedimentary rocks.

  • Participatory Democracy in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington Participatory Democracy in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte Terence Wood Participatory Democracy in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte Terence Wood Victoria University of Wellington Wellington, New Zealand Contact: [email protected] Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Master of Development Studies Degree August, 2004 Abstract Participatory budgeting is a form of Participatory Democracy that is being increasingly used in Brazilian cities. This dissertation describes research conducted on the participatory budgets of two Brazilian cities, Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte. The research was undertaken with the overall aim of examining and comparing the participatory budgeting experiences in these two cities and then using this examination to identify the key local variables that can influence the outcomes of participatory budgets. The research made use of both primary and secondary data sources. The primary data used the result of 22 semi- structured interviews that took place in April and May 2004, and the secondary data was the already existing body of literature on participatory budgeting in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte. The key findings of this research are that participatory budgeting has had some significant successes in both Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte. At the same time though the participatory budgets in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte have encountered problems that have limited their abilities to produce results. There are also several areas where the outcomes of participatory budgeting are, at present, unclear. Some of the outcomes of the participatory budgets in Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte are very similar yet there were differences in the processes’ results.
