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).

  • From Iron to the Industrial Cloud: Memory and (De)Industrialization at the Lisnave and Setenave Shipyards
    Preliminary communication Submitted: 3. 1. 2020. FROM IRON TO THE Accepted: 6. 3. 2020. DOI: 10.15176/vol57no105 INDUSTRIAL CLOUD: UDK 338.45:629.5.081(469)»196/198» MEMORY AND (DE)INDUSTRIALIZATION AT THE LISNAVE AND SETENAVE SHIPYARDS JOÃO PEDRO SANTOS Institute of Contemporary History – NOVA FCSH, Lisbon In the 1960s, Portugal lived through a period of rapid industrialization in what became known as the golden cycle of Portuguese industry. This late industrialization makes Por- tugal one of the countries ruled by a peripheral Fordism, which is particularly relevant in the region of Setúbal, since several heavy industry companies settled there, among them Setenave and Lisnave. These shipyards are described by workers as being “a city within the city” mostly given their dimension and labour contingent. However, this industrial “city” was more than a place of economic production; it was also a place for sociability. Informed by semi-structured in-depth interviews with former shipyard work- ers, and focused on the meaning they attribute to the changes experienced between the 1970s and the deindustrialization period of the 1980s, this article analyses the transition from a working culture based on solidarity to a culture dominated by competition and individualism. Keywords: deindustrialization, Setúbal, working-class, shipyards, memory INTRODUCTION When I started this research in 20151 in the region where I was born – Setúbal (Portugal)2 – my main objective was to uncover the bottom-up version of events that were presented 1 This paper is the result of my Master’s research (completed in 2017) as well as work in progress on my PhD thesis, funded by a scholarship from the Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/133510/2017).

This allowed the growth of leisure and other activities related to free time and culture into the night period. Night gained an increasing importance among urban policies and therefore required to be framed within these complex urban contexts as well as other planning processes. This article addresses the Polis Program and its contribution to the improvement of Costa de Caparica’s nightlife.

  • Sustainable Urban Mobility Policies As a Path to Healthy Cities—The Case Study of LMA, Portugal
    sustainability Article Sustainable Urban Mobility Policies as a Path to Healthy Cities—The Case Study of LMA, Portugal Ana Louro *, Nuno Marques da Costa and Eduarda Marques da Costa Centre for Geographical Studies, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, Universidade de Lisboa, Rua Branca Edmée Marques, 1600-276 Lisboa, Portugal; [email protected] (N.M.d.C.); [email protected] (E.M.d.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351-210-443-000 Received: 6 February 2019; Accepted: 17 May 2019; Published: 23 May 2019 Abstract: Sustainable development has become the basis of several worldwide policies over the last few decades, and its role will continue to shape policies for decades to come, especially those that are focused on urban mobility. At the same time, urban mobility is included in the framework of the Healthy Cities movement. In this context, using the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA), Portugal, as the study area, this article intends to answer the following research question: are sustainable urban mobility policies contributing to healthy cities? Urban mobility planning and public health instruments were compared with the discourses and practices of those responsible for the implementation of urban mobility policies and Healthy Cities projects. The results reveal that a large number of responses proposed in the mobility planning instruments are, to some extent, related to the principles of healthy cities. Also, while municipal agents tend not to consider the inclusion of those principles, they instead incorporate the concepts of sustainable development. Nevertheless, we found that both approaches overlap the policy directions of healthy cities.
