Parks and roads build the cities: the M-30 and Madrid-Río project, building landscape
Authors: Hernández-Lamas Patricia , Rubio Gavilán Ana , Bernabeu-Larena Jorge
Published: July 2022

Public works respond to a function and are linked to the territory where they are located. Its use and connection to the place become hallmarks and generating elements of urban processes.
The roads are located close to the rivers where layouts are easier. Its relationship with the city is usually conflictive. River and city are also necessarily linked. The conversion from road to street requires a complex planning process and involves a deep transformation of its environment. Particularly significant is the case of Madrid and the ring road that develops along the Manzanares River, awarded prestigious Harvard prize for best urban design. There is much written about Madrid-River project and the enabling M-30 excavation work. This paper takes technical and architectural references to place them in a political and social process that gave rise and in the urban reality offered today to Madrid citizens. This project is a new landscape for the city where the river becomes a limit to be integrated into the urban area. New uses can be reconciled and linked through multiple paths, and neighborhoods from both sides are connected. Old and new landmarks coexist, viewpoints that overlook new river scenes are created and elements, related to landscape and territory, are incorporated. This corridor seeks ecological rebalance and connects different green spaces in the city.
Public works are not just useful infrastructures in contemporary polis; they have strong influence in social cohesion and urban processes.
The citizenship territories program and the challenges for the rural exodus combat in north plateau catarinense: a case study in municipalities of São Bento do Sul and Rio Negrinho
Authors: Maximo Gabriela Willemann Siviero , Loch Carlos
Published: July 2022

In February 2008, the Brazilian Federal Government created the Citizenship Territories Program, whose purpose is to promote and accelerate the elimination of poverty and social inequality in rural areas, including gender, race and ethnicity, through a sustainable territorial development strategy. The choice of the territories entered in the Citizenship Territories Program results from pre-defined criteria, examples of the low Human Development Index (HDI) and low economic dynamism, in which were chosen 60 territories to be benefited with structuring actions in 2008 and more 60 in 2009, totaling 120, divided into five regions of Brazil, where, within these territories, are being applied three axes to support productive activities, citizenship and access to rights and the qualification of the infrastructure. In this sense, this article aims to demonstrate the challenges of combating rural exodus, since the implementation of this Program in the North Plateau of Santa Catarina State, specifically in the municipalities of São Bento do Sul and Rio Negrinho, Citizenship Territories Program members. The case study is based on bibliographic and documentary research; data analysis provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and; in analysis of thematic maps produced in environment of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). With the found results expected to ratify that despite the efforts and actions taken by the Citizenship Territories Program, in these members municipalities, public policy has not been able to be effective in combating rural exodus, where it is believed that the appeal to such an act are still insufficient.
Analysis of chilean metropolitan areas, the case of Santiago, and Concepcion: location patterns as building licences 2002-2010
Authors: Aguirre Núñez Carlos Andrés

The study seeks to describe the growth of Chile's main cities, especially in the cycle 2002 to 2010. This series presented a growth economy averaged around 7%, with the consequent growth in the residential construction sector. In that sense, there is an increase in housing prices that impact on real estate products offered. This period was characterized by neoliberal policies, in a low-density city center rings in their peri central an impact on the urban fabric of the city.
Communes as Ñuñoa; Providencia and Recoleta, in the metropolitan area of Santiago, Viña del Mar and Con Con, in the metropolitan area of Valparaiso, Chiguallante and San Pedro de la Paz in the great conception, are obvious example of this process as it grew up, estate submitted higher-priced products of past and pointing to families in training, with prices can only pay the highest decile of income each metropolitan reality.
To conclude, it requires new public policies that analyze the problem pericenter ring and also agree on the elements themselves beyond the city economic growth.
Identifying urban heat island: the Barcelona case
Authors: Arellano Ramos Blanca , Roca Cladera Josep
Published: July 2022

There is a large consensus that cities have a special role in the process of climate change. Cities are responsible for 75% of global energy consumption and 80% of GHG emissions, both due to "lifestyle" generated in the last 150 years and changes associated with urbanization process in the era of globalization and urban sprawl. The specialized literature has devoted many efforts to analyze the contribution of urban systems to climate change, occupying the Urban Heat Island (UHI) an important place in studies on urban climate. In this sense, the use of remote sensing technology has allowed detailed mapping of (daytime) land surface temperature (LST) for urban and metropolitan systems. These studies have demonstrated the key role played by vegetation, impervious soil and land uses to explain differences in the spatial distribution of LST. However, the information provided by satellites has important limitations: especially the low resolution of the thermal band of night images. MODIS, for example, provides valuable information on the night LST; however, the spatial resolution of the thermal band is about one km², scale clearly insufficient to identify accurately the spatial structure of the UHI. In the opposite site, Landsat offers a more accepTabla spatial resolution (30 m² / pixel for the visible bands of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as 60 to 100 m² / pixel in the thermal bands), but does not provide information about night soil temperature. In addition, it is at night when the urban heat island becomes more evident. Therefore, to determine the night LST in an appropriate scale (as offered by Landsat) remains a significant challenge in studies aimed at identifying the spatial structure of the UHI.
In Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB, 3,200 km² and 4.8 million inhabitants), the (day) highest temperatures are not in the CBD but in areas that are more peripheral specialized in economic activity such as industrial parks, producing a "donut" in the spatial distribution of the LST. Bare soil also shows a (day) high surface temperature. In contrast, sprawled areas have a less pronounced LST. The spatial structure of the LST, however, changed significantly during the night: compact and sprawl areas maintain high levels of heat, facing the agricultural soil, which cools more sharply as also happens in the industrial land. UHI appears therefore overnight.
This paper aims to show the spatial patterns of Urban Heat Island in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona at medium scale (30 m² / pixel). It develops a new methodology aimed at modeling the night temperature at one km² resolution (MODIS) and then extrapolating this methodology to a most accurate scale of 30 m² / pixel (Landsat). The study allows identifying differences in (night) LST according to the distribution of land use, quantity and quality of the vegetation, intensity of urban sprawl, spatial distribution of economic activity and type of urban morphology (continuous vs. scattered urbanization).
Are consumers willing to pay more for residential energy efficiency in emergent markets?
Authors: Encinas Felipe , Marmolejo Duarte Carlos Ramiro , Sánchez Francisco , Aguirre Carlos
Published: July 2022

In most of the countries, energy efficiency has been delegated to the dynamics of real estate markets, after regulating a minimum legal (although not optimal) efficiency level. So, it is expected that high efficient housing stock receives a market premium that, at least, equals the over-cost invested in improved thermal insulation and more efficient appliances. Theoretically, under such a mechanism developers are fostered to promote sustainable housing schemes. Nonetheless, the question of whether residential users do pay more for more sustainable housing remains to be explored in emergent markets where green labelling is still not legally implemented. This paper explores the impact of energetic efficiency of housing on demand’s willingness to pay in Santiago de Chile. In doing so a contingent valuation approach is used in order to extract the structure of preferences for different levels of energetic efficiency for the residential market of houses. Results reveal that a significant proportion of respondents are willing to pay (WTP) a quantity that surpasses the cost of green investment. The results of a regression model aimed to explain the factors that lay behind WTP suggest that it is positively influenced by: income level (indirectly measured by the price range of the requested house), educational level and demographics, being households with small children who pay the most. These results have important implications on the design of public policies aimed to improve the energetic efficiency of new housing developments.
Geo-position technologies in city use research: accuracy evaluation in the context of university students mobility

Published: July 2022

In the last years the broad potentiality and utility that geo tracking systems can offer have been explored in research fields not only related to geography, but medicine, leisure and tourism as well. Although this technology has been employed in mobility and transportation system analysis, there is still a lack of studies in the urbanism field.
This research seeks to evaluate the accuracy of geo-positioning technology tools in the analysis of peoples’ movement and flows in the city. Therefore, we have performed an experiment using Campus Mobility, an open source application for Android smartphones developed by the Mobility, Transport and Territory Studies Group (GEMOTT) of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) based on SpaceMapper by John Palmer. While activated, the app tracks and records automatically spatiotemporal data from volunteers’ smartphones every two minutes through the GPS. By the end of the experiment, a large dataset with more than 47.000 entries has been generated, including geographical position (latitude and longitude), date and time (timestamp) as well as an anonymous user ID. Additionally to the experiment, a survey has been applied to volunteers in order to contrast and complement results from automatically gathered data and users answers.
From the obtained dataset, we have investigated users’ paths, movement and meeting points analytically and graphically, aiming to recognize patterns in volunteers’ displacement and to detect possible anomalous data. For the graphic analyses we have created data visualizations in addition to dynamic maps that have been developed using ArcGIS and CartoDB tools. Both outcomes were combined in order to gain a deep understanding on the shortcomings and possibilities that geo-positioning technology tools offer to urban investigation field.
Finally we conclude that, despite minor errors, geo-position technology tools provide new great possibilities for city flows and mobility studies, being able to gather automatically a very large amount of detailed data that would be impossible to collect without an automated process. GPS tracking can be considered a powerful resource for urban studies, although those tools are not entirely accurate if applied to a very small scale analysis.
Remote sensing from unmanned aerial vehicles for 3D urban modelling: case study of Loulé, Portugal
Authors: Tenedório José António , Estanqueiro Rossana , Matos Lima Ana , Marques João
Published: July 2022

Data acquisition using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is currently a fast and low-cost Remote Sensing approach. UAVs have become standard platforms for applications in photogrammetric data capture. This capture is still only feasible for small areas, around dozens of hectares. In view of our description, we can say that the data obtained using UAVs are useful for 3D urban modelling, i.e., buildings and urban areas, with a view to support large scale urbanism and urban planning studies.
The data were gathered from RGB UAV imagery at a height of 100 meters covering the city centre of Loulé, Portugal. To conduct the UAV survey the following steps were followed from data acquisition through processing 3D urban models: a) establishing flight plan parameters (height, overlapping, time, focal distance, camera data, spatial resolution) and collecting data survey (regarding preparation aspects such as safety, interferences, and calibration); b) loading photos; inspecting loaded images and removing unnecessary images; c) aligning photos; d) building dense point clouds; e) building a mesh; building a 3D polygonal model; f) texturing the 3D model; g) calculating DEM and DTM; h) creating an orthoimage; and i) exporting results. After processing the data, we arrived at two highly accurate 3D urban models. Taking these results into consideration, we have integrated them into urban plans in order to show their usability in the planning process of a city.
Building the global democracy from urban planning policy to populism in architecture
Authors: Cedroni Anna Rita
Published: July 2022

It is possible to claim that there is an analogy, in terms of management and programming, between the modality of execution in political contents and the formalities of the application of architectural models, or more precisely in the methods of carrying out such proposals.
The choice and the management of planning strategies go along with the choice of political strategies.
The changes occurring in the politics and democracy can be also found in urban planning politics and involve mainly the public space and the design for the related public buildings.
The emptying of social content in most constitutional democracies, together with the spreading of populist “politics” are phenomena that emerge in the architecture of public buildings and in the way in which the architecture relates to the urban form of their surroundings.
Deprived of their contents, (which are related to their functions), public spaces and public building become non-ruled yet “objectified” spaces targeted for a collective use.
The first analysis, which comes out of my background, led me to look at urban planning in Europe, starting from Italy and keeping the focus on the politics of public spaces and on the ways in which their conception, design and relationship to the city, shape the collective social values, attitudes and demands.
These cases provide some opportunities for a reflection about governance and planning, focussing on the relationship between Democracy and Architecture.
The sustainable future of the smaller historical centres, between "modulation of the protection" and new technologies
Authors: Cerasoli Mario , Biere Arenas Rolando Mauricio
Published: July 2022

The smaller historical centres can play an important role in the rebalancing of the territory, reversing the trends (now also historical) to urban concentration and metropolisation.
In an specific time of slowing urban growth, a greater attention to the rehabilitation and expansion of the concept of historicity, also to peripheral areas of the city and at the same time of the rural landscape, always more often the urban policies aim to reconnect the (interrupted) relations between historical city and territory, in order to build new development strategies centred on the complex identity of the historical places.
The possibilities and perspectives aimed to increasing the “attractiveness” of the smaller historical centres requires a “healthy combination” of criteria for urban intervention, starting from the “modulation of protection”, building restoration and use of new technologies, at urban level (in the logic of new “mini-Smart cities”) as building level (energy efficiency, etc.)
The "modulation of protection" is based on a scrupulous historical-critical reading of the historical centre and has as the main objective to prevent its "freezing".
It process consists of a set of rules for "correct behaviour" to provide the maintenance, restoration and conservation of these areas or parts of the historic building heritage, remained essentially unchanged (compared, for example, with the historical land registers) and, at the same time, allows the controlled transformation of the buildings that in the past have been transformed and today retain only the function of “urban footprint”.
The new ICT (digitals), the ability to “move” data and information instead of people, more clean energy due renewable sources, constitute a renewed opportunity to enhance and Re-inhabiting the smaller historical centres. While so it is important to protect these realities within the cultural landscape they are inserted, on the other it is possible rethink them in a smart key, identifying possibilities for a sustainable revitalization and regeneration.
In this framework, we will present some study experiences conducted under the framework of the research seminar on Recovery of the historical centres of the research Master's degree in Land Management and Valuation of the UPC.
In each case we will present methodological and thematic aspects; spatial analysis, strategies and policies for the conservation, maintenance and transformation, determination of assets and their classification, key projects and finally relevant aspects of the proposed Master Plans developed in the minor historical centres studied.

Origem da expansão do Recife: divisão do solo e configuração da trama urbana
Authors: Reynaldo Amélia , Reynaldo Maia Alves Paulo
Published: July 2022

Diversos estudos sobre o Recife abordam a formação do primeiro núcleo urbano a partir do plano urbanístico do arquiteto holandês Pieter Post (1639) e defendem o crescimento urbano espontâneo da cidade, estruturado a partir dos caminhos que articulavam os engenhos ao porto. A Planta da Cidade do Recife e Arredores, de 1932, retrata o traçado urbano da época, enquanto o extenso território restante estava ocupado pelos engenhos. Em menos de um século, o âmbito rural se parcela em loteamentos, cuja evolução pretende-se mostrar na pesquisa ora em desenvolvimento. É no âmbito da carência de estudos que registrem o fenômeno da origem da urbanização do Recife que surge a ideia da elaboração de um projeto de pesquisa capaz de revelar a sua expansão urbana no Século XX, mostrando que ela se realiza por meio da divisão do solo rural, respaldada nas legislações urbanísticas de 1932 e 1936.

The several available studies about the city of Recife, Brazil, consider the urban plan of the Dutch Architect Pieter Post (1639) as the basis of the first urban core, and propose a spontaneous urban sprawl following
the paths that connected the farms to the harbor. The Planta da Cidade do Recife e Arredores, from 1932 (Plan of the City of Recife and Surroundings) pictures the existing urban fabric and a vast territory around it, occupied by the farms.In less than a century, the rural landscape was divided in allotments which evolution is
shown in the research in course.The absence of studies that focus on the origin of Recife’s urbanization has motivated the research to show that the division of the rural land, oriented by the urban legislation of 1932 and 1936, is the essence of its urban growth on the 20th century
Espaços públicos e vida urbana: uma leitura do projeto Cidade Pedra Branca
Authors: Menezes Fernanda Maria
Published: July 2022

O projeto Cidade Pedra Branca está sendo implantado em Palhoça, região metropolitana de Florianópolis, sul do Brasil, inicialmente alavancado pela instalação do Campus da UNISUL (Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina), em 1997. O que seria uma urbanização nos moldes do zoneamento monofuncional transformou-se, a partir de 2005, em um empreendimento alinhado às premissas do Novo Urbanismo. O presente trabalho visa identificar e avaliar a rede de espaços públicos configurada por este projeto, resgatando seu processo histórico e realizando análise morfológica para identificar potencialidades e limitações da proposta no que se refere à criação de um ambiente genuinamente urbano. O que se observa é que, a exemplo de outras propostas efetivamente implementadas por esta corrente, o projeto acaba se estruturando de modo introvertido e autocontido, se firmando mais em termos locais do que em uma efetiva integração com o todo da estrutura urbana em que está inserido.

The Pedra Branca project is being implemented in Palhoça, county of the Florianopolis metropolitan region, in southern Brazil. Its beginning was boosted by the installation of UNISUL Campus (University of Southern
Santa Catarina) in that region in 1996. What would be an urbanization along the lines of monofunctional zoning, became, from 2005, in a urban development aligned with the assumptions of the New Urbanism.
This paper identifies and evaluates the network of public spaces configured for this project, restoring its historic process and performing morphological analysis to identify the strengths and limitations of the
proposal regarding the creation of a genuine urban environment. What is observed is that, like other proposals effectively implemented by this current, the project ends up being structured so introverted and self-contained, establishing urban relations more in local terms than inan effective integration with the entire urban structure context.
Els edificis Mediterrani i Atlàntic, incursions modernes a l'Eixample Cerdà
Authors: Roca Calaf Jofre
Published: July 2022

Els edificis Mediterrani i el Banc Atlàntic són dos dels edificis que afronten de manera més clara la incursió al teixit urbà consolidat de la trama Cerdà. Plantegen unes variables compositives adaptades a les necessitats funcionals i estètiques contemporànies. L'edifici Mediterrani recupera, en part, algunes de les idees del pla embrionari de Cerdà pel que fa a l'orientació i ventilació dels habitatges i a la seva relació amb l’espai públic. També en reinterpreta sensiblement els seus paràmetres normatius d'acord a criteris de relació moderns. Introdueix una nova tipologia d'habitatge a l'Eixample, eliminant els petits patis de ventilació amb una alternativa de blocs de menor fondària, tot mantenint virtualment la cantonada tradicional i ampliant l'escenari de l'espai del vianant en planta baixa. L'edifici Atlàntic, en canvi, tot emergent singularment en altura del conjunt edificat de l'Eixample, planteja un manifest èmfasi d'aquesta cantonada i s'adapta a la seva traça, al mateix temps que estableix un subtil acord amb les edificacions veïnes.

Both the buildings Mediterrani and Banc Atlàntic are two of the construction projects that face in a clearest manner the challenge to become fully integrated into the consolidated urban network of Cerdà. The
proposals provide compositional variations more in line with contemporary functional and aesthetic requirements. On the one hand, the building Mediterrani party recovers some of the ideas in Cerdà’s embryonic plan, such as orientation, ventilation of the dwellings and their relationship with the public space.
It also sensitively responds and reinterprets
the regulation parameters according to modern relationship criteria.
The project introduces a new dwelling typology in the Eixample, by removing the small ventilation patios and proposing blocks of reduced depth as an alternative, virtually maintaining the traditional corner
and broadening the pedestrian space scenario in the ground floor. The building Atlàntic, on the other hand, presents itself as a singular high-rise building within the
Eixample’s network at the same time it emphasizes the corner, placed following the trace of Cerdà’s chamfered blocks, and
establishes a subtle relationship with the neighbouring constructions.
Vacíos en el aglomerado urbano de Brasília: de la Carta de Atenas a la realidad
Authors: de Aragão C. Martins Anamaria , Borin Facó Juliana , Ribeiro Ana Paula
Published: July 2022

Considerando las reflexiones de diferentes autores acerca de que la simple existencia de áreas libres no
determina la vitalidad de un barrio, este artículo analiza diferentes espacios en dos núcleos del aglomerado
urbano de Brasilia, planeados según los principios del movimiento moderno entre 1958 y 1960, donde se
verifican situaciones de degradación y abandono del espacio público. Se estudian los espacios libres
propuestos según las reglas de la Carta de Atenas como condición a la buena forma urbana, tales como las
zonas de vegetación que aíslan las vías de gran circulación del tejido urbano, las áreas verdes entre
edificaciones y los espacios residuales en la inflexión de la trama urbana y del parcelario. La hipótesis de la
investigación es que muchos espacios libres defendidos por el movimiento moderno se convierten en vacíos
urbanos por la ausencia de utilización, como resultado de su situación urbana, en general agregada al vial,
o por la indefinición de dominios y de configuración.

Considering the idea expressed by several authors that the existence of open areas does not determine the vitality of a neighborhood, this article analyzes different spaces in two cities of the metropolitan area of Brasilia, planned according to the principles of International Style between 1958 and 1960, where public
spaces became derelict and abandoned. The study focuses the spaces proposed following the 1933 Athens Charter, such as the vegetation zones isolating main roads from the urban fabric, the open spaces detaching the buildings, and residual areas in the inflexion of the grid. The research works with the hypothesis that the
open spaces proposed by the International Style as the condition of a good urban form are converted into vacant areas because they have no use or value, due to its location near to the road system, as well as due
to the absence of form and limits.
Naturbanización en la Pampa Argentina: urbanización vs. racionalidad ecológica: el caso de Chascomús (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Authors: Giusti Mariana , Prados Velasco María José
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo aborda problemáticas en torno a nuevas dinámicas territoriales, la presión urbana, y las
urbanizaciones cerradas (UC) en territorios no metropolitanos de la Argentina, centrándose en ámbitos
rurales de valor paisajístico y ambiental. Se toma como caso de estudio, la ciudad de Chascomús (Provincia
de Buenos Aires, Argentina), y se utiliza el concepto naturbanización (Prados, 2009) como marco
conceptual y metodológico. Éste explica cómo la presencia de espacios de valor paisajístico y ambiental, o
la existencia de un espacio protegido estimula los procesos de urbanización en las proximidades de los
mismos. Dichos procesos son entendidos en la acepción más amplia del término urbanización, ésta es, la
extensión de usos urbanos y las consecuencias derivadas del cambio de usos por efecto de la urbanización.
Al mismo tiempo, se aborda la contradicción existente entre los debates globales en “desarrollo y urbanismo
sustentable” y la práctica real.

This paper broaches problems related to new territorial dynamics, urban pressure, and gated communities
(UC) in non-metropolitan areas of Argentina with landscape and environmental value, either rural or
protected areas. The city of Chascomús (Buenos Aires, Argentina) is taken as a case of study and the
concept of naturbanization (Prados, 2009) is used as a conceptual framework and methodology for the
analysis. The concept explains how spaces with landscape and environmental value or protected areas,
stimulate urbanization processes in their surroundings. These processes are understood in the widest sense
of the term urbanization, which is the extension of urban land uses and the consequences of land uses
change due to urbanization. At the same time, the contradiction between global debates on "sustainable
urbanism and development" and real practice is approached
Desenvolvimento urbano contemporâneo em cidades médias do interior paulista sob o estatuto da cidade: uma análise comparada de Piracicaba, Bauru e Rio Claro

Published: July 2022

O artigo traça um quadro do desenvolvimento urbano contemporâneo em cidades médias do interior do
estado de São Paulo (Brasil), sob três dimensões complementares: econômica, urbanística e políticoinstitucional.
Para tanto, indica os processos interdependentes que estruturam o desenvolvimento urbano
com base na análise comparativa desses municípios (Piracicaba, Bauru e Rio Claro). Nesses termos,
identifica como essas cidades se inseriram nos processos de transformação da economia nacional nas
décadas de 1970-90, e como essa trajetória impactou suas dinâmicas urbano-regionais. Observa-se de que
maneira as determinantes econômicas – tanto as vinculadas às mudanças no padrão locacional das
indústrias quanto outras associadas à dinâmica imobiliária – impactaram o ordenamento urbanístico e como
ocorreram tais processos decisórios. A análise se faz no contexto institucional da promulgação e vigência
do Estatuto da Cidade, no qual os municípios refizeram seus Planos Diretores e passaram a contar com
novos meios de regular a produção do espaço urbano.

The article focuses on contemporary urban development in medium-sized cities in the state of São Paulo
(Brazil), under three complementary dimensions: economic, urban and political-institutional. Thus, it indicates
the interdependent processes that shape urban development based on comparative analysis of these
municipalities (Piracicaba, Bauru and Rio Claro). In these terms it identifies how these cities were inserted in
the processes of transformation of the national economy in the decades of 1970-90, and how that path
impacted their urban-regional dynamics. We observe how the economic determinants – changes in the
industry standard locational and dynamic real estate – impacted the urban planning and decision-making
processes. The analysis is done in the context of institutional effectiveness and promulgation enactment of
the Statute of the City, when municipalities remade their Master Plans and have acquired new ways to
regulate the production of urban space.

Dos equipos de las universidades Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí, Ecuador, y de Valladolid, España están desarrollando una investigación conjunta con el apoyo financiero de la AECID. La investigación profundiza en el análisis de los mecanismos a través de los cuales las ciudades de tamaño intermedio en dos países, Ecuador y España, se transforman. Se realiza un análisis de ambas ciudades y las vías a través de las cuales se han ido formando, desmenuzando los procesos decisorios que materializan la ciudad. Tras estos análisis podemos señalar la diferente naturaleza de ambos espacios urbanos e identificar los mecanismos comunes y aquellos que son diferentes. En relación a la forma en la que se toman las decisiones se analizan en particular los siguientes apartados:
a) La construcción de las grandes infraestructuras que ordenan el territorio
b) Las políticas de vivienda.
c) Las políticas de equipamientos públicos.
d) La sostenibilidad en cada una de las ciudades.
La utilidad del estudio es grande, pues la comparación de diversos elementos y características de ambas ciudades nos permite valorar el peso y el papel que juegan en la formación de cada ciudad.

Two teams from the University Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí, Ecuador, and the University of Valladolid, Spain
are developing a joint research project with the financial support of the AECID. This research work makes an
in depth analysis of the mechanisms through which intermediate size cities in two different countries,
Ecuador and Spain, are transformed. An analysis of both cities is carried out, including the ways in which
they were formed, breaking down the decision-making processes that lead to the city as it is today. Following
these analyses we can point out the different nature of both urban spaces and identify the common
mechanisms and those that are different. As for the way in which decisions are made, we analyse in
particular the following aspects:
e) The construction of large infrastructures
f) The housing policy.
g) The public services and facilities policy.
h) The sustainability of each of the cities.
This study has a great utility as it compares diverse elements and characteristics of both cities and allows us
to evaluate the weight and the role such characteristics play in the formation of each city.
Ordenação do território e patrimônio: a questão dos itinerários culturais
Authors: Pistorello Daniela
Published: July 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é lançar um olhar aos diferentes itinerários culturais na Europa a fim de perceber as estratégias de uso do patrimônio cultural como possibilidade de desenvolvimento regional. A questão principal que norteia este trabalho é de que forma os itinerários culturais europeus ordenam a paisagem das localidades nas quais se inserem e que narrativas produzem a partir destas intervenções?
Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foram analisados vinte itinerários culturais europeus e, através do método comparativo, procurou-se marcar três aspectos gerais: o contexto do surgimento do itinerário; sua estrutura e seu sistema de gestão. Este artigo aponta algumas reflexões iniciais de uma pesquisa que está em curso.
A hipótese a ser desenvolvida é que a criação de itinerários culturais, quando pensados e geridos a partir de grupos locais, valoriza determinadas identidades regionais e pode ser motor de desenvolvimento para as regiões envolvidas.
Esta pesquisa que desenvolvo na Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha sob a tutoria do professor Joaquín Sabaté pelo período de um ano, é viabilizada pela concessão de uma bolsa de investigação da FAPESP que é uma extensão da bolsa de doutorado que recebo por desenvolver pesquisa na UNICAMP relativo aos Roteiros Nacionais de Imigração que naquela instituição é orientada pela professora Cristina Meneguello.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the different cultural itineraries in Europe in order to realize the strategies of use of cultural heritage as a possibility for regional development. The main question guiding this work is how the European Cultural Routes ordering the landscape of the localities in which they belong?
The methodology provides for the selection of eighteen European Cultural Routes and through the comparative method, sought to score three general aspects: context of the emergence of the itinerary; structure; management system.
The hypothesis to be developed is the creation of cultural itineraries, when designed and managed from local groups, certain regional identities and values can be an engine of development for the regions involved.

I develop this research at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia under the mentorship of Professor Joaquín
Sabaté for one year, is made possible by the grant of a research grant from FAPESP which is an extension
of a PhD scholarship I receive at UNICAMP for developing research concerning National Roadmaps
Immigration that that institution is supervised by Professor Cristina Meneguello.
La construcción del territorio de Ibiza: urbanismo, paisaje, arquitectura
Authors: Cortellaro Stefano
Published: July 2022

La arquitectura rural ibicenca es la construcción del territorio insular, un organismo formado por muros,
bancales, caminos… que cubre toda la isla, y cuya célula es la casa rural, mínima unidad territorial y social
formada por sus espacios agrícolas, entre los que destacan los volúmenes de la vivienda; así, en el espacio
rural de Ibiza, los conceptos de arquitectura de la casa y arquitectura del paisaje se pueden unificar.
Este estudio, basado en un análisis del paisaje rural de Ibiza por capas o elementos de paisaje, y por zooms
progresivos (desde los levantamientos a escala 1:500, 1:1500 y 1:7500 de las viviendas más significativas
desarrolladas alrededor de las fuentes de Morna y Atzaró hasta una lectura a escala global de la isla a
escala 1:175.000), estudia las relaciones que los elementos de la construcción del territorio (paredes de los
bancales, muros de delimitación de parcelas de los valles, trazados marcados por el agua, red viaria,
viviendas rurales...) establecen con la topografía.

Rural architecture of the island of Ibiza is the construction of the island territory, a body formed by walls, land
terraces, paths, etc., covering the entire island, with the rural homestead as its cell. This is the minimum
territorial and social unit, formed by agricultural spaces, among which the dwelling’s volumes are prominent.
So, in the territory of Ibiza, the concepts of local house architecture and landscape architecture can be
unified.
The work is based on an analysis of the rural space by landscape layers or elements, and by progressive
zooms (from the drawings on a scale of 1:500, 1:1500 and 1:7500 of the most significant dwellings built
around the springs of Morna and Atzaró to a global reading of the island on a scale of 1:175.000).
It studies the relations that the territory’s construction elements (terrace walls, valley enclosures, water
courses, road network, rural houses, etc.) establish with the topography.
29 + 1: la ordenación urbanística metropolitana de Gran Valencia (1947-1986)
Authors: Selva Royo Juan Ramón
Published: July 2022

En la presente investigación se analiza la ciudad mediterránea de Valencia desde un punto de vista
territorial, a raíz de la constitución de la Corporación Administrativa Gran Valencia mediante acta de 10 de
febrero de 1947. Desde entonces hasta nuestros días, a través de diferentes figuras administrativas, no se
ha abandonado –con mayor o menor éxito– el enfoque metropolitano en el urbanismo de la ciudad del Turia.
Abordando desde un punto de vista estructurante las vicisitudes del primero de estos organismos (con casi
cuarenta años de vigencia), se analizan su devenir histórico y la manera en que impulsó el desarrollo
morfológico del territorio. Se contribuye así con la difusión de la abundante labor técnica que desarrolló
Gran Valencia, desmontando esa visión unilateral predominante hasta el momento según la cual la labor de
la Corporación se redujo, en la práctica, a un mero trámite administrativo más.

The present research analyses the Mediterranean city of Valencia from a territorial point of view, immediately
following the establishment of the Administrative Corporation Gran Valencia by the Act of 10th February
1947. From then up until our own times –with greater or lesser degrees of success–, and via various different
administrative bodies, the metropolitan approach to urban planning of the city of the Turia has not been
abandoned. Taking the vicissitudes of the first of these institutions (with almost forty years of existence),
from a structural point of view, we analyse its historical transformations and development, and the manner in
which it drove the morphological development of the territory. This contributes to the spread of the abundant
technical labour developed by Gran Valencia, deconstructing this predominant unilateral vision until the
moment in which the work of the Corporation reduced, practically speaking, to just another administrative
procedure.
El inicio de la Cartagena moderna: el eje Serreta-Caridad-Gisbert, una nueva apertura al mar o la traslación del centro
Authors: Martínez Hidalgo Celia
Published: July 2022

Las ciudades mediterráneas como Cartagena muestran un paisaje urbano donde se superponen, complementan o yuxtaponen los tiempos históricos. La apertura de la calle de Gisbert es posiblemente la primera actuación urbanística innovadora sobre la ciudad antigua cambiándola manera de entender lo urbano y redefiniéndolas relaciones geográficas de su emplazamiento. Es proyecto ilustrado de los políticos liberales del siglo XIX y proyección física de la nueva clase social vinculada al desarrollo económico de la minería, la industria y el comercio de los recursos de la Sierra de Cartagena y del Puerto. Esta comunicación expone el estudio sobre el eje Serreta-Caridad-Gisbert, elemento urbano condensador de los cambios comarcales. ¿Puede el éxito de una actuación urbana equilibrar el territorio del que forma parte?

Mediterranean cities as Cartagena superpose, complement or juxtapose the historical times on their urban landscape. The opening of Gisbert's street is possibly the first innovative action to develop the ancient Cartagena, changing the way we understand the urban fact and re-defining the geographical relations within its site. It was a project developed by the liberal politicians of the 19h Century and the physical projection of the new social class linked to the economic development in mining, industry and trade of the resources provided by the surrounding mountains, and its port .This paper exposes the work done on the Serreta-Caridad-Gisbert axis. This urban element is the condenser of the regional changes. Can the success of an urban action balance its territory?
Turismo y proyectos urbanos: la transformación de la vieja estación ferroviaria de Gualeguaychú en el Corsódromo
Authors: Kuper Diego
Published: July 2022

El turismo viene adquiriendo una creciente y notable importancia como fenómeno social en todo el mundo.
Se han venido difundiendo nuevas formas de hacer turismo y han surgido nuevos destinos turísticos
diferentes a los tradicionales de “sol y playa”, entre ellos, las ciudades. Paralelamente, en las últimas
décadas muchas ciudades han implementado métodos novedosos de gestión y planeamiento, presentados
como superadores de los métodos tradicionales, siendo uno de los mayormente difundidos los denominados
proyectos urbanos. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo general analizar estas cuestiones para el caso de
Gualeguaychú (Entre Ríos, Argentina), destino turístico nacional de consolidación reciente cuyo principal
atractivo es el carnaval. Específicamente, se analiza la reconversión con fines turísticos del antiguo predio
de la estación ferroviaria, que ha dado como resultado su transformación en el “corsódromo”, equipamiento
y atractivo turístico fundamental pues en él se realiza el desfile de las comparsas del carnaval.

Tourism is a continuously growing worldwide social phenomenon. Newly arising ways of tourism and new
destinations (for example, cities), different from traditional "sun and beach" seaside destinations, have gain
importance. At the same time, most cities have been implementing new management and planning
approaches in the last decades. One of the most frequently applied is the modality conventionally labeled as
"urban project". This paper addresses the result of this strategy in the case of the city of Gualeguaychú
(Entre Ríos, Argentina), a national touristic destination recently consolidated as an epicenter of summer time
carnival activities. The transformation of the city's main train station into a stadium-like facility for parades is
studied.
Projetos urbanos e sustentabilidade em áreas de risco: o discurso ambiental nos projetos urbanos de habitação social no Brasil
Authors: Sobreira Fabiano , Felix Bruna
Published: July 2022

Observa-se, nos últimos anos, uma aproximação, ora política e retórica, ora técnica e acadêmica, entre os
conceitos de urbanização e de sustentabilidade. Mais especificamente, identifica-se uma relação mais
frequente entre os discursos relacionados à questão habitacional e os debates sobre a preservação do meio
ambiente. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar reflexões preliminares relacionadas à análise do discurso e
da técnica relacionados à sustentabilidade do ambiente urbano em projetos de habitação social no Brasil. A
análise proposta neste artigo é centrada em projetos elaborados em situações de concurso, particularmente
o Concurso Renova São Paulo, realizado no Brasil em 2011.

One can observe, from the last few years, a convergence – sometimes political or rhetorical, sometimes
technical or academic - between the concepts of urbanization and sustainability. More specifically, one can
identify a more frequent relation between discourses regarding housing issues and debates on
environmental preservation. The main purpose of this paper is to present preliminary analysis and reflexions
about discourses and techniques regarding urban environment and social housing projects in Brazil. The
analysis proposed in this paper is centred on projects designed for competitions, more specifically the
“Renova São Paulo” competition, launched in 2011.
