  • 1 According to Available Records, Oliveira Do Bairro Appeared Before
    According to available records, Oliveira do Bairro appeared before the formation of Portugal. There are indications of Celts and pre-Celts in the parish of Mamarrosa. While parishes like Palhaça and Bustos 1 have signs of Roman presence. There is a document dated 922 d.c. (tenth century) which refers to the donation of land to the Monastery of Crestuma and where the land is said to be "Ulveira" (Oliveira). In a document dated 957, some villages of the municipality, such as "Barriolo", "Aqualada" or "Sancta Eolália" are mentioned. However, it was only granted Charter to Oliveira do Bairro (become a town) on April 6, 1514, by King Manuel I. The grantees were the Counts of Miranda do Corvo and Marquises of Arronches and at a later stage, the Dukes of Lafões. In the sixteenth century Oliveira do Bairro had settlements that still exist today, such as Póvoa do Cercal and Póvoa do Repolão. The name "Oliveira" comes from several centuries ago as a tribute to the culture of the olive trees and olive oil production, but "do Bairro” was added much later. It comes from the word "clay" which evolved into "barro" as it comes from the Latin root "barrium". Thus, "the District" eventually becomes determinative of the type of ground on which the olive trees get along. In 1836 the county “Oliveira do Bairro “ is formed and due to its great location, was highly coveted by its neighbours “Águeda “ and “Anadia”, which led to its extinction in 1895 and its annexation by the municipalities mentioned. However, this annexation was short-lived - in 1898 the municipality of Oliveira do Bairro was restored, with the exception of the parish of Bustos which was only attached to Oliveira do Bairro in 1919.

  • Housing Development: Housing Policy, Slums, and Squatter Settlements in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1948-1973
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HOUSING DEVELOPMENT: HOUSING POLICY, SLUMS, AND SQUATTER SETTLEMENTS IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL AND BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA, 1948-1973 Leandro Daniel Benmergui, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Daryle Williams Department of History University of Maryland This dissertation explores the role of low-income housing in the development of two major Latin American societies that underwent demographic explosion, rural-to- urban migration, and growing urban poverty in the postwar era. The central argument treats popular housing as a constitutive element of urban development, interamerican relations, and citizenship, interrogating the historical processes through which the modern Latin American city became a built environment of contrasts. I argue that local and national governments, social scientists, and technical elites of the postwar Americas sought to modernize Latin American societies by deepening the mechanisms for capitalist accumulation and by creating built environments designed to generate modern sociabilities and behaviors. Elite discourse and policy understood the urban home to be owner-occupied and built with a rationalized domestic layout. The modern home for the poor would rely upon a functioning local government capable of guaranteeing a reliable supply of electricity and clean water, as well as sewage and trash removal. Rational transportation planning would allow the city resident access between the home and workplaces, schools, medical centers, and police posts. As interamerican Cold War relations intensified in response to the Cuban Revolution, policymakers, urban scholars, planners, defined in transnational encounters an acute ―housing problem,‖ a term that condensed the myriad aspects involved in urban dwellings for low-income populations.

  • Bairro Do Padre Cruz, Lisbon, Portugal
    Bairro do Padre Cruz, Lisbon, Portugal 1. Introduction Bairro do Padre Cruz is a neighbourhood located in the northeast side of Lisbon; in the parish of Carnide. It is the biggest low-income residential neighbourhood in Portugal and one of the biggest of the Iberian Peninsula. This neighbourhood has its roots in the late 50’s, when its first construction phase occurred to give a quick response to re-housing needs. The newly constructed neighbourhood had a temporary nature and as such relied on simple construction methods and rustic materials seldom used in vernacular residential architecture. Also, the social housing being provided was expected to be short lived. Nonetheless, that premise did not hold up true and the neighbourhood continued expanding in addition to this initial urbanisation, suffering still three more phases of urbanization. Actual state of the urban edification in Bairro do Location of Bairro do Padre Cruz Padre Cruz in the parish of Carnide, Lisbon The rehabilitation plan of the Bairro do Padre Cruz neighbourhood was coordinated by the Municipality of Lisbon by following a priority action plan to be undertaken due to the state of the area. The plan took into consideration several assumptions, namely the need to eliminate the negative image of re-housing neighbourhoods and revitalize the urban tissue; create reallocation and youth-oriented housing with urban coherence and constructive quality; and, within this line create endogenous living spaces in the neighbourhood. The plan also introduces the valorisation of the blocks’ inner-halls with leisure spaces and the introduction of equipments and commercial spaces. Mobility is an issue taken into account.

  • The Evolution of Urban Spatial Structure in Brasília: Focusing on the Role of Urban Development Policies
    sustainability Article The Evolution of Urban Spatial Structure in Brasília: Focusing on the Role of Urban Development Policies Cayo Costa and Sugie Lee * Department of Urban Planning and Engineering, Hanyang University, 222 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-2220-0417 Received: 16 November 2018; Accepted: 17 January 2019; Published: 21 January 2019 Abstract: Many cities evolve over time, but some are designed from scratch. Brasília is presented as a unique case on urban planning for having been built from figuratively nothing, based on a design concept that was the brainchild of Brazilian urbanist Lucio Costa. The present study aimed to analyze the interrelation between urban planning and spatial structure change over time to understand the role of urban development policies on the spatial organization of Brasília. The study was conducted based on three interrelated aspects: (1) The intentions of the plans, (2) territorial governance, and (3) external conditions. The results showed that the circumstances of territory occupation—characterized by a polycentric development system with dispersed satellite cities economically dependent on Brasília—have been gradually replaced by strategic development policies, mainly influenced by social and political driving forces. Accordingly, this research suggests a reconsideration of the scale of development instrumentations based on a better understanding of the metropolitan area of Brasília as a unique structure by strengthening its interrelations and seeking better coordination of interests and adaptability of governance processes. Keywords: urban development policy; urban form; spatial inequality; spatial structure; Brasília 1. Introduction In the last century, certain countries have planned to transfer or even established new capital cities, following the steps of Washington and Canberra, or developing a town which already exists.

  • Mimesis of the State’ Positions Them in a Momentarily Powerful Position in Relation to State Agencies That Are Threatening Them with Forced Resettlement
    MIMESIS OF THE STATE From Natural Disaster to Urban Citizenship on the Outskirts of Maputo, Mozambique Morten Nielsen Abstract: This article explores the generative effects of the flooding that hit Mozambique in 2000. Flood victims from the country’s capital, Maputo, were resettled in Mulwene on the outskirts of the city. Although initially envisaged as a ‘model neighborhood’ based on a set of ‘fixed urban norms’, it soon became apparent that the Mozambican state was incapable of realizing the project. These failures notwithstanding, resi- dents occupying land informally in the neighborhood have parceled out plots and built houses by imitating those norms. Based on a Deleuzian reading of ‘situational analysis’, introduced by the Manchester School, the article argues that the flooding constituted a generative moment that gave rise to new and potentially accessible futures in which hith- erto illegal squatters were reconfigured as legitimate citizens. Keywords: event, Mozambique, parcelamento, potentialities, situational analysis, urban planning, temporal rupture, virtual In her analysis of ‘temporal ruptures’, Ann Game (1997: 117) describes the effects of catastrophes on everyday understandings of time: “The movement of living involves ruptures and disruptions to the future which thus disrupt time as we commonly understand it as consisting of a past-present-future.” Rather than seeing time as a constant linear progression, in moments of temporal rupture we are brought “face to face with contingency.” In other words, temporal ruptures open toward a world of possible futures that co-exist in the brief moments when linear time is dissolved (ibid.). In this article, I explore the effects of a particular temporal rupture with a special emphasis on the potential production of ‘possible futures’, indicating novel temporal trajectories toward hitherto uncharted terrains.

  • Urban Issues and Challenges
    Paper 2 Challenges in the human environment Section A: Urban issues and challenges Small Things – Quick Wins! • 1 mark = 1 minute • Check the command word and the marks available • Describe (4 marks) = give 4 points • Explain (4 marks) = give 2 points and explain each (P E E) • 6 mark questions – These will often require you to argue both sides of an issue. Start with a bold statement that answers the question. Then explain (P E E). Then use a good connective (e.g. ‘However…’) to give the opposing view. • 9 mark questions – There will be 2 of these on each exam. Some will have 3 SPAG marks attached. Plan them carefully. • If it’s about a specific place/event make sure your refer to this in your opening sentence (e.g.. Rio de Janeiro, a city on the East coast of Brazil…) • Then think about writing 3 paragraphs 1. Arguments for one side 2. Arguments for the other side 3. A conclusion where you answer the question – make sure you substantiate it with a key piece of evidence that you are basing it on (E.g.. I think the challenges in Rio de Janeiro outweigh the opportunities. A key reason is that 25% of people live in favelas.
