Transformations to Lisbon's Terreiro Do Paço
URBAN TRANSFORMATION: CONTROVERSIES, CONTRASTS and CHALLENGES TRANSFORMATIONS TO LISBON’S TERREIRO DO PAÇO DIANE BRAND Address: School of Architecture Victoria University of Wellington NEW ZEALAND Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT After a devastating earthquake, tsunami and fire in 1755, Lisbon’s Terreiro do Paço, or Palace Square, was transformed by the Marquis of Pombal into a state of the art 18th century urban space called Praça do Comércio This paper looks at the configuration and use of this space from the 16th to the 18th century, tracing customary, ceremonial and institutional events, with particular reference to the role of ephemeral architecture in reconfiguring the space’s relationship to either river or land. An analysis of the paintings in Lisbon’s Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (Navy Archives), Museu da Cidade de Lisboa (City Museum of Lisbon) and the Muesu Nacional dos Coches (National Coach Museum) shows the square transitioned over two centuries from a space fully engaging the Tagus to a condition that captured the space and engaged it with the reconstructed city quarter behin. INTRODUCTION The paper aims to show how, over several centuries, the Terreiro do Paço has transitioned from a space where customary uses have fully engaged the River, to a condition where the space has been reclaimed by the city beyond. This transition had as much to do with various institutional presences as it did with the ephemeral structures which graced the space during state occasions and sought to re-orient the square towards either city or sea. A range of ceremonial and institutional occasions will be examined, including royal and religious processions, autos da fé and commercial exchange. -

Overtourism affects picturesque places, and these areas end up losing their authenticity, submitting themselves to the consumption needs of tourists. Neighborhoods’ traditional residents also see their routine completely changed due to the different habits of tourists, and displacement rates rise. This study aims to understand how local people perceive tourism in Alfama, one of the most unique and tourist-oriented neighborhoods of Lisbon. Our study involves a questionnaire to old long-term residents and content analysis of their responses. We used Leximancer software to create categories of analysis depending on frequency of mentions and the way themes are related.

Recomposições E Representações Sociais Das Avenidas Novas Numa
X Congresso Português de Sociologia Na era da “pós-verdade”? Esfera pública, cidadania e qualidade da democracia no Portugal contemporâneo Covilhã, 10 a 12 de julho de 2018 Secção/Área temática / Thematic Section/Area: Territórios: Cidades e Campos Recomposições e representações sociais das Avenidas Novas numa cidade em transformação Recompositions and social representations of Avenidas Novas in a transforming city PINTO, Fernando; ISCTE-IUL; CIES, CP; Lisboa; Portugal; [email protected] Resumo As Avenidas Novas assinalaram uma viragem decisiva no tempo e no modo da expansão urbana de Lisboa, no começo do século XX, sustentando um movimento de ampliação para norte, a partir das coordenadas do plano urbanístico liderado por Ressano Garcia. Associadas desde cedo a uma forte especulação imobiliária, patente na dissonância de tipologias construtivas e na ausência de um plano arquitetónico de conjunto, ficaram também marcadas pelo facto de se terem constituído num dos eixos estruturantes de dilatação do centro funcional da cidade, sofrendo os impactos da terciarização e do uso generalizado do automóvel sobre as suas acessibilidades fáceis. Apresentam-se aqui os primeiros resultados de uma investigação, relativos à história das Avenidas Novas e suas recomposições espaciais. A pesquisa contempla ainda uma contextualização sociodemográfica e socioeconómica e tem o seu foco nas representações sociais sobre esta área da cidade. Palavras-chave:Avenidas Novas; expansão urbana; reconfiguração espacial; mobilidade espacial. Abstract Avenidas Novas marked a turning point in the time and mode of urban expansion in Lisbon at the beginning of the twentieth century, sustaining a movement of expansion from de coordinates of the urban plan led by Ressano Garcia to the north. -

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA The area is located in the South region of the Tagus river mouth and to the north of Setúbal Peninsula. This coastal zone is distinguished by a great fluvial morphodinamic influence in the river inlet area. The area of study starts in the Cova do Vapor and ends at south of Costa da Caparica village (figure 1). Fig. 1: Location of the groyne field maintenance with artificial sand nourishment study area. Millions of people use Costa da Caparica beach during summer and the urban seafront requalification is included in a major national programme for urban areas requalification called POLIS programme. 2 EUROSION Case Study 1.1 Physical process level 1.1.1 Classification General: sandy beach and fossil cliffs CORINE: beaches Coastal guide: coastal plain, cliffs 1.1.2 Geology Geologically, the area is characterized by an alluvium deposing related with the interaction effects phenomenon of waves/tides/river flow, with refraction/diffraction patterns that provoke a local alluvium transport from south to north, creating a small sand spit, in our days, near to the NATO harbour (figure 1). In the past, this sand spit had significant dimensions, projected in to the Bugio lighthouse direction (figure 5). This way, it was created an extensive alluvium on south side of Tagus river (Cova do Vapor – Espichel Cape and Bugio bar). -

Hygiea Internationalis
Regional Dynamics and Social Diversity – Portugal in the 21st Century Teresa Ferreira Rodrigues Introduction hrough its history Portugal always presented regional differences concerning population distribution, as well as fertility and mortality trends. Local T specificities related to life and death levels reflect diverse socioeconomic conditions and also different health coverage. We will try to diagnose the main concerns and future challenges related to those regional differences, using quantitative and qualitative data on demographic trends, well-being average levels and health services offer. We want to demonstrate that this kind of academic researches can be useful to policy makers, helping them: (1) to implement regional directed policies; (2) to reduce internal diversity; and (3) to improve quality of life in the most excluded areas. Our first issue consists in measuring the link between Portuguese modernization and asymmetries on social well-being levels1. Today Portugal faces some modera- tion on population growth rates, a total dependency on migration rates, both exter- nal and internal, as well as aged structures. But national average numbers are totally different from those at a regional level, mainly if using non demographic indicators, such as average living patterns or purchase power2. The paper begins with a short diagnosis on the huge demographic and socioeco- nomic changes of the last decades. In the second part we analyze the extent of the link between those changes and regional convergence on well-being levels. Finally, we try to determine the extent of regional contrasts, their main causes and the rela- tionship between social change and local average wealth standards, as well as the main problems and challenges that will be under discussion in the years to come, in what concerns to health policies. -
