MARGINALITY AND URBAN TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES. The value of urban scraps to solve urban, social and ecological issues
Authors: Riccardo Amendola
Published: March 2024

Abandoned spaces and territories surrounding both cities and settlement systems of metropolitan areas, can play an important and central role in regeneration processes from the urban, social and ecological points of view. Starting from the recognition of the value and role that urban margins and “scraps” can assume in an both social and environmental key, it is possible to propose alternative approaches and intervention practices to the more established ones in order to reduce the growing social divide in urban field and counteract the phenomena of spatially based social segregation.
In the case study of Lisbon, it was possible to highlight, through empirical social research, a correlation between morphological margins, infrastructural lines and places of urban and social disease. Their capillary diffusion allows to design a lattice of public spaces that, alongside the existing system of squares and parks, is of considerable support for human and ecological connection and integration.
Keywords: Social segregation, marginality, public space, holistic and multi-scalar approach.
CULTURAS E CIDADE: TEORIA E PROJETO. Formas outras de se constituir a ação e o conteúdo projetual
Authors: Villac Maria Isabel , Costa Kato Volia Regina , Rubano Lizete Maria , Batista Ribeiro Edison
Published: March 2024

Between the times of life and the urban spaces (Lefebvre, 2009) emerges the invention of the project as an expression of resistance, claims and other possibilities of appropriation of time, space and desire. The project, thus thought, reaffirms the importance of alterity, of collective subjects and of the event as horizons of imagination. In Brazil, the construction through form - architecture and cities - resides, historically, in the field of representations: what we see in our cities is segregation, inequality, absence of public spaces for life. How to socially build a project culture that considers processes of recognition, appropriation, desires, universalization of rights highlighting its emancipatory power?
We seek an approach to the ways of living the space, through daily life, through the construction of practices, through the experiences of cultural collectives and civil society organizations, considering the multiplicity of actors, domination, oppression and resistance that configure the contemporary world.
 
Keywords: project, daily life, collective subject, urban space

Entre os tempos de vida e os espaços urbanos (Lefebvre, 2009) emerge a invenção do projeto como expressão de resistências, reivindicações e possibilidades outras de apropriação do tempo, do espaço e do desejo. O projeto, assim pensado, reafirma a importância da alteridade, dos sujeitos coletivos e do acontecimento como horizontes da imaginação. No Brasil, a construção pela forma - arquitetura e cidades - reside, historicamente, no campo das representações: o que vemos em nossas cidades é segregação, desigualdade, ausência de espaços públicos para a vida. Como construir socialmente uma cultura de projeto que considere processos de reconhecimento, apropriação, desejos, universalização de direitos destacando sua potência emancipatória? Busca-se uma aproximação às maneiras de viver o espaço, pela vida cotidiana, pela construção das práticas, pelas experiências de coletivos culturais e organização da sociedade civil, considerando-se a multiplicidade de atores, dominações, opressões e resistências que configuram o mundo contemporâneo.

GOVERNANÇA E PARTICIPAÇÃO NO BRASIL: o impacto do Decreto Federal no 9.759/2019 nas políticas urbanas
Authors: Delmonte Calvão Fernanda , Crespo José Luís
Published: March 2024

Collegiate bodies and councils are a way for public management to democratize the elaboration of its policies, making them more representative of segments of the population. A bibliographic review will be carried out on the themes of governance, Brazilian federalism and participation. A review of the Brazilian urban legislation pertinent to these concepts will also be made. This article is structured in four sections. The first deals with the theoretical framework on the subject of governance, conceptually, and its approach in the Brazilian context. The second section, a normative framework after the Federal Constitution, which highlights the outline of governance in relation to social participation. The third section, on the federal decree under analysis and in the fourth section, the impact of that decree on Brazilian urban policies. Therefore, the proposed debate is to what extent the dismantling of instances of popular participation, in the federal government's management from 2019 to 2022, through the publication of Decree No. 9,759 in 2019, affected Brazilian urban public policies.
 
Keywords: Governance, social participation, Brazilian urban policies, Federal Decree 9759/2019.

Este artigo está estruturado em quatro seções. A primeira trata do enquadramento teórico acerca do tema da governança, conceitualmente, e sua abordagem no contexto brasileiro. A segunda seção, um arcabouço normativo pós Constituição Federal que evidencia o recorte da governança em relação à participação social. A terceira seção, sobre o Decreto federal em análise e na quarta seção o impacto do referido decreto nas políticas urbanas brasileiras. Portanto, o debate proposto é em que medida o desmonte das instâncias de participação popular, na gestão do governo federal de 2019 a 2022, por meio da publicação do Decreto no 9.759 no ano de 2019, afetou as políticas públicas urbanas brasileiras.

EXPLORING LOCAL CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLANS INTO SPATIAL PLANNING INDICATORS: TURKEY. Developing a guideline of climate change adaptation for local spatial planning system
Authors: Kazanci Altinok Gamze , Tezer Azime
Published: March 2024

Spatial planning (SP) plays a pivotal role in shaping urban and rural areas, encompassing interventions such as development, conservation, and spatial configuration, all of which significantly influence climate change adaptation (CCA) efforts. The incorporation of CCA policies within municipal SP has gained increasing importance in addressing the challenges posed by climate change impacts. This study aims to examine the interplay between CCA policies and municipal SP in Turkey. It proposes an assessment of selected cities representing diverse climate regions within Turkey at the local scale. The primary objectives encompass evaluating the current state of the CCA-SP relationship through a causal-comparative approach, considering assessment criteria derived from a comprehensive literature review, and formulating region-specific policies. Noteworthy advancements in local-level climate change mitigation policies are underscored, while concurrently identifying significant gaps in climate change adaptation, particularly concerning the built/green environment and governance/participation. The findings will enhance the integration of CCA policies into forthcoming spatial planning endeavors within Turkey.

CALIDAD DEL AIRE Y CIUDAD SALUDABLE. Planes de mejora de la calidad del aire urbano en Lima y Madrid
Authors: Napoli Federico
Published: March 2024

Lima and Madrid present two different urban-territorial realities, however, both capitals have in recent years adopted urban development plans with a focus on improving air quality. The research analyses the plans of both cities (Plan A for Madrid; Plan Met 2040 and the Action Plan for Lima) with the intention of verifying whether both meet the requirements established in 2021 by the WHO Global Guidelines on Air Quality. The difference between the two cities also generates different approaches to air pollution: while Madrid concentrates its measures on improving sustainable roads and reducing the number of private vehicles in some areas of the city, Lima focuses on regulating vehicle emissions and improving fuel quality.
 
Keywords: healthy city, air quality, atmospheric pollution, urban planning.

Lima y Madrid presentan dos realidades urbano-territoriales diferentes, sin embargo, ambas capitales en los últimos años se han dotado de planes de desarrollo urbano con enfoque de mejoramiento de la calidad del aire. La investigación analiza los planes de ambas ciudades (Plan A para Madrid; Plan Met 2040 y el Plan de Acción para Lima) con la intención de verificar si ambos cumplen con los requisitos establecidos en 2021 por las Directrices mundiales de la OMS sobre la calidad del aire. La diferencia entre las dos ciudades genera también enfoques diversos en materia de contaminación del aire: mientras Madrid concentra sus medidas para mejorar la vialidad sostenible y reducir la cantidad de vehículos privados en algunas zonas de la ciudad, Lima se centra en la regulación de las emisiones de los vehículos y la mejora de la calidad del combustible.

TYPOLOGICAL STUDY OF TRADITIONAL HOUSES OF SEMNAN CITY
Authors: Tahmasebiboldaji Nahid , Savary Mehdi , Sazedj Soheyl
Published: March 2024

In Semnan, there are several valuable historic buildings that, despite their diversity and innovative nature, have a standard and unbreakable identity. With their erosion and degradation, their architecture and construction are rapidly being destroyed and forgotten. Therefore, a multifaceted study of these buildings is essential to recognize the patterns of building homes as the primary focus of development, relying on valuable samples mostly dating back to the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties. In this research, forty historic houses in Semnan have been studied and analyzed in terms of climate, culture, geometry, form, spatial communication, structure, and all architectural elements that are the basis of the formation of the patterns of these houses. It was realized that architectural designs and constructions of these houses had undergone fundamental changes over time based on changing social conditions and habits of life. Traditional houses were studied in three specified periods, including before the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, from the power of Naser al-Din Shah to the early reign, and Pahlavi. By reviewing all the details of historical houses and categorizing them we will achieve a guideline for providing conservation and restoration projects in the historical context of Semnan.

The regeneration of Mouraria. An innovative systemic, strategic and participatory approach to the co-working of urban space
Authors: Milito Alessandra
Published: March 2024

Between 2011 and 2014, a process of urban and social regeneration took place in the historic neighborhood of Mouraria in Lisbon. This initiative embraced an interdisciplinary, systemic, participatory, and experimental approach. The regenerative process was guided by strategic choices, such as the centrality of public space, the integration of physical and social dimensions, and the involvement of local communities. Through a widespread, bottom-up, and place-based action, developed upon a few clear and simple strategic lines, extensive results were achieved. This approach overturned the intervention paradigm on existing structures, combining municipal and local interests and including residents in the co-elaboration of the urban and social space. This article aims to provide an overview by examining population engagement strategies, the key actors through which various forms of participation were activated, the new roles adopted by planning and architecture, and the possibilities for preserving sociocultural heritage in urban regeneration.

CONTRASTING THE BANALISATION OF TOURISM. Architectural, landscape and micro-urbanistic design of an accommodation facility in the Azores
Authors: - ,
Published: March 2024

Following the pandemic, tourism dynamics resumed in a compulsive form in response to the physical and social segregation during the covid-19 period. Mass forms of tourism, which stifle and alter local balances, often lead to trivialising outcomes. Following the analysis of these phenomena and the choice of a reference context, a project was drawn up on an urban, landscape and architectural scale as a hypothesis of an alternative model for tourist use. The intention is to see local specificities reworked in a contemporary key, with a view to the inclusion of the local population, with a space that is articulated between public and private, guaranteeing the permeability of the lot. Integration that also takes place from an ecosystem perspective, with agricultural and landscape techniques that attempt to integrate with the territorial dimension of the Azores, on the island of São Miguel.

SEMINARIOS MONTEVIDEO (1998-2017). Interface e innovación en urbanismo
Authors: Schelotto Salvador
Published: March 2024

Since the 1990s, the debate between “planning” and “project” deepened in Uruguay at the same time that a new urban culture was taking shape. Vectors of this process were the Municipality of Montevideo (in decentralization, strategic planning, land planning and heritage), the National Directorate of Land Planning and university contributions. Within this framework, the “Montevideo Seminars-Urban Project Workshops” (1998-2017) constituted a space for liaison and innovation in urban thought and practice, linking the School of Architecture with the Town Hall of Montevideo. They relied on the prestige of guests: global architects, teachers, from workshops, conferences, debates and jurys, who contributed to this innovation, resulting in the experience in an urban project laboratory from an original relationship between academia and state, and generating critical reflection about the large-scale project. This research aims to reveal the keys to this successful experience and its impact on practices.

URBANISMO CONVERGENTE: Vida urbana, paisaje humano
Authors: Hernández Araque Johana
Published: March 2024

The social construction of public space has become important since the mid-20th century. Several interdisciplinary scenarios have been used to argue the physical and social destruction of cities around the world as a result of traditional urbanization models inspired by capitalism. The model is challenged and methods for humanizing the city are suggested. This article presents some reflections that come from the doctoral research project of the same name, which examines new social action-production strategies of public spaces at the microscale, including tactical urbanism, its mode of operation, the socio-spatial variables it produces, and the model's scalability. To reinforce the idealistic foundations of the urban movements that promote these modern collaborative practices, a bibliographic review of several influential classic theorists is performed. Two case studies are presented in the South American context (geographical segment of the research), in which the tools and elements of tactical interventions are evaluated and some of the conclusions that have been defined in the PhD work are acknowledged.
 
Keywords: tactical urbanism, convergent urbanism, human scale, right to the city.

La construcción social de espacios públicos tomó relevancia a partir de la mitad del siglo XX. La desestructuración física y social de las ciudades en el mundo como consecuencia de los modelos tradicionales de urbanización influenciados por el capitalismo, se ha puesto en debate en escenarios interdisciplinarios en los que se crítica el modelo y se proponen estrategias encaminadas a la humanización de la ciudad. Este artículo presenta algunas reflexiones que surgen del trabajo de investigación doctoral, a través del cual se estudian estrategias emergentes de acción-producción social de espacios públicos en la microescala como el urbanismo táctico, su forma de operar, los impactos socioespaciales que genera y la escalabilidad del modelo. Se hace una revisión bibliográfica de algunos teóricos clásicos con el objetivo de sustentar las bases idealistas de los movimientos urbanos que promueven estas prácticas colaborativas contemporáneas. Se presentan dos casos de estudio en el contexto sur americano (recorte geográfico de la investigación) en el que se analizan las herramientas y componentes de las intervenciones tácticas y se anotan algunas de las conclusiones que se han venido definiendo en el trabajo doctoral.

GRAFFITI | DA TRANSGRESSÃO NO ESPAÇO PÚBLICO. Pelos Espaços de Incerteza
Authors: Salema Roby Benedita
Published: March 2024

Through an analysis of the public space in late modernity, this dissertation proposes to think of graffiti as a possible rescue of the place, in the context of a growing homogeneous mass of non places, as argued by Augé. In doing so, other ways of producing the city are suggested, both in effective and meaningful terms, to the extent that the experience of graffiti is proposed as an act of resistance to spatial orthodoxy and exclusion. Since the recognition of this practice should never be regarded in terms of legality — thus running the risk of losing the subversive quality of the phenomenon and of incorporating it into gentrification policies —, tools are given for the un- derstanding of graffiti both within and outside the concepts and methodologies of traditional Art History and Art Criticism, drawing also on the street axioms themselves for a well demarcated distinction between moral (and legal) and aesthetic judgment.

Através de uma análise ao espaço publico na modernidade tardia, este artigo propõe pensar o graffiti como um possível resgate do lugar, no contexto de uma crescente massa homogénea de não-lugares, segundo argumenta Augé. Ao fazê-lo, são sugeridas outras formas de produzir a cidade, tanto em termos efetivos como significativos, na medida em que se propõe a experi- ência do graffiti como acto de resistência à ortodoxia e exclusão espacial. Sendo que o reco- nhecimento desta prática nunca deve ser tido em termos de legalidade — podendo, dessa for- ma, correr o risco de perda da qualidade subversiva do fenómeno e de incorporação do mesmo em políticas de gentrificação —, são dadas ferramentas à compreensão do graffiti tanto dentro como fora dos conceitos e metodologias da História e Critica de Arte tradicionais, recorrendo também aos próprios axiomas de rua para uma distinção bem demarcada entre o juízo moral (e legal) e o juízo estético.

UNA CALLE-MERCADO INFRAESTRUCTURAL. La Féria do Relógio en Lisboa
Authors: Villalonga Munar Pablo , Padrão Fernandes Sérgio
Published: March 2024

Feira do Relógio on Avenida de Santo Condestável in Lisbon, is a "feira de levante" that is set up and dismantled every Sunday on the road. The road for cars becomes pedestrian, and is revealed as a support contrasted with the fabrics, poles and removable tables that house goods on the asphalt. This work investigates the relationship between the specific conditioning factors of the context and the generative operatives of the case from its varied formalizations. The research focuses on the relationship between the detail of the objects and their production of other bodies, at other scales. Feira do Relógio is read as a street-market, in which its ephemeral condition of the program produces a rapid transformation: from fast lane to pedestrian street. This case study has an infrastructural component, capable of absorbing contingencies, the result of the dynamics of its materialization and design.

SHAPED BY WATER: The lexicon of built elements as a cause of changing water in the case of Dharavi and Kanpur
Authors: Goyal Anubhav , Maheshwari Supri
Published: March 2024

Water plays a lead role in shaping urban waterfront territories. They are generally located in the central part of the cities and are burdened with environmental challenges. Climate change is expected to increase extreme weather events with a larger volume of change in water. Sea level rise, high tides, storms, and floods enhance the vulnerability of such areas along the water. Waterfront territories are more vulnerable to changing water as they occupy the low-lying marshy land. How humans respond to flooding is one of the most challenging questions. The response involves using various built elements embedded in the urban morphology of waterfront territories. The objective of the paper is to identify, systematize and categorize the built elements that exist as a cause of changing water in urban waterfront territories, in the case of Kanpur riverine area and Dharavi, Mumbai. The methodology, exploratory and investigative in character, involve assessment by direct observations and interpretation from the sites, collected images and literature review from the previous published research. The cases from two different territories; formal and informal, enable findings and lessons that contribute to research into the lexicon of built elements necessary for addressing floods.

REVIVING AN OLD CPD BY INTRODUCING A MASS RAPID TRANSIT STATION. A CASE FROM DHAKA
Authors: Iqbal Raj Shahriar , Ekram Faruque Fahim Mohammad
Published: March 2024

Bangladesh, once considered the Least Developed Country (LDC), became elevated to lower-middle income status in 2015. Dhaka is the capital of the country and central economic hub, ranked the sixth most populous city in the World, with a density of 23,234 people per square kilometer (Dhaka, Tribune, 2022). An influx of migrant people from different districts makes Dhaka a sprawling urban junction. Traffic congestion, air pollution, fire incidents, and other urban chaos are unbearable daily facts. Studies by Dhaka Urban Transport Project (DUTP) identified that adaptation of Transport Oriented Develop is essential to increase accessibility and to offer redevelopment opportunities around the station node. Mass Rapid Transit, one of the choices of TOD, was first conceived in 2005 in the Strategic Transport Plan for Dhaka, and the construction started in 2012. The initial route, MRT-6, will connect several residential and Central Business Districts areas like Motizeel. However, due to unmanaged traffic and unplanned mixed-used development, once vibrant CBD has lost its potential for commercial activities. This research will investigate the choice of Rail-based MRT for Dhaka and the additional improvement of spatial attributes (density, land use diversity, and pedestrian-friendly design)  that will contribute to reviving the study station at Motizeel.

Authors: Arnaldo Galliano Niccolò
Published: March 2024

The present paper proposes to settle comprehensive understanding about first's statements of architectural modernity established in Macau.
The research line intends to present the historical modern framework of the region and classify a set of inaugural resettlement housing projects designed by Architect Manuel Vicente during the 1960s/1970s. The achievement of such goals is to be developed through a comparative analysis between the urban background of the 20th century, and the chosen case studies, in order to derives, in one hand, an amplitude equation of the theoretical matrix adopted; and in the other hand, to identify the variations between solutions of housing typologies, collective spaces, spatial distributions and technical systems. This classification needs to consider contextual factors, concentrating not only in the understanding of the proposed case studies, but also on problematics and potentialities, in order to recognize their role in the generational urban grow that characterized the Pearl River Delta.

LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA CIUDAD REPUBLICANA. Estudio sobre las primeras formas y adaptaciones de la trama urbana de las ciudades de la Araucanía, Chile. 1880-1900
Authors: Barría Catalán Tirza , Pérez Bustamante Leonel
Published: March 2024

The republican cities of Araucanía, a region located in the south of Chile, emerged after the end of the "pacification of Araucanía" (1862-1883). Following the presidential decrees of 1885 and 1889, which established provisions for the founding of towns, plans were drawn up and executed by the engineers in charge of colonization. These cities were projected according to the checkerboard grid, whose general outlines are defined in their first urban plans. Early on, variations and formal adaptations were generated in the layout of streets and blocks due to the geographical conditions of the location and variations in the distribution of state and civil enclosures. However, buildings such as the Fire Station, the Social Club, the Theater, and the Municipality, together formed a new urban facade of the main square, which contributed to the urban identity through its architecture.

Las ciudades republicanas de la Araucanía, región ubicada al sur de Chile, surgen tras el término de la “pacificación de La Araucanía” (1862-1883). A partir de los decretos presidenciales de 1885 y 1889 que establecieron disposiciones para la fundación de poblaciones, se llevaron a cabo sus planos siendo ejecutados por los ingenieros a cargo de la colonización. Estas ciudades se proyectaron en función de la retícula de damero, cuyos lineamientos generales se definen en sus primeros planos urbanos. Tempranamente se generaron variaciones y adaptaciones formales en el trazado de calles y manzanas por las condiciones geográficas del emplazamiento y variaciones en la distribución de los recintos estatales y civiles. Sin embargo, edificios como el Cuartel del Bomberos, el Club Social, el Teatro, y el Municipio, conformaron en conjunto una nueva fachada urbana de la plaza principal, los cuales contribuyeron a la identidad urbana mediante su arquitectura.

NA BUSCA DE IDENTIDADE. Apropriações realizadas por moradores em quatros bairros municipais do concelho de Loures
Authors: Paes Ana Rita , Stellacci Stefania , Eloy Sara
Published: March 2024

This article provides an analysis and reflection on changes in urban space in municipal housing districts to identify relevant aspects of urban and architectural design that could be rethought, to guarantee more flexibility of use and the quality of life of residents. To achieve this objective, this study focuses on four neighbourhoods in the municipality of Loures, in the district of Lisbon. The main informal appropriations in the external public space and in the building exteriors (e.g. configurational and/or chromatic changes of the facades) were mapped through in situ analyses and debate sessions with inhabitants and representatives of the Municipality of Loures. This comparative study aims to analyse informal urban dynamics as a means for contributing to the requalification of social housing and to the well-being of inhabitants, considering socioeconomic, architectural, and landscape characteristics of each case under analysis.
 
Keywords: Municipal Affordable Neighborhoods, Appropriations, Informal, Loures.

Neste artigo mapeia-se e reflete-se sobre as alterações do espaço urbano realizadas por moradores em bairros municipais. Pretende-se identificar aspetos relevantes do projeto urbano e arquitetónico que poderiam ser repensados no sentido de garantir maior flexibilidade de uso e qualidade de vida aos moradores. Para alcançar este objetivo, este estudo focou-se em quatro bairros municipais do concelho de Loures no distrito de Lisboa. Através de análises in situ e sessões de debate com os moradores e representantes da Câmara Municipal de Loures, foram mapeadas as principais apropriações informais no espaço público exterior e no exterior do edificado (e.g. configuracional e/ou cromática das fachadas). O principal objetivo deste estudo comparativo incide na análise das dinâmicas urbanas de génese informal como ferramenta que contribui para a requalificação dos complexos habitacionais sociais e para o bem-estar dos moradores, tendo em conta as caraterísticas socioeconómicas, arquitetónicas e paisagísticas de cada caso em análise.

AIR QUALITY, HEALTH AND THE CITY: THE CASE OF SKOPJE
Authors: Andonova Elena , Higueras Garcia Ester , García González María Cristina
Published: March 2024

Air pollution is a major global environmental concern that has significant impacts on public health. With increasing urbanization, cities are an appropriate unit for the analysis of this issue. Investigating the correlation between air quality, respiratory diseases, and urban parameters in five micro-locations in the case of Skopje the study finds that air quality is influenced by a variety of factors including urban parameters, land use, types of heating systems, and proximity to the burning of stubble and use of harmful fuels. To address the issue of air pollution in Skopje, the study recommends implementing measures such as promoting the use of open block typologies in urban planning, encouraging the use of sustainable heating systems, implementing stricter regulations on industrial activities, increasing the use of green spaces, and reducing the built footprint. Overall, addressing air pollution in Skopje requires a comprehensive approach that considers individual and structural factors.

APAGAR E ESQUECER Rios e paisagens como memória cultural de Fortaleza, Brasil
Authors: Almeida André Araújo , Alvim Angélica Benatti
Published: March 2024

Territories have been gradually altered during the processes that characterize Brazilian urban development. We are especially concerned about bodies of water that commonly suffers constant aggressions overtime in order to be erased and not recognized as part of the city. Removed from the landscape, they are also lost in collective memories. Therefore, the present work aims to reflect about urban processes that significantly alter cities and endanger the environmental and cultural balance that gives so much meaning to the existence of cities themselves. The research focus on the city of Fortaleza, Brazil, analysing one of the aspects of its urban evolution: the presence of watercourses, from 1945 cartography,correlating it with current satellite photos. The analysis shows the way in which rivers and creeks are considered in the thinking logic of development in recent decades, making observations about the risk of erasing the city's water resources from the local collective memory.
 
Keywords: urban evolution, territorial studies, watercourses, Fortaleza.

Os territórios vêm sendo gradativamente alterados durante os processos que caracterizam o desenvolvimento urbano brasileiro. Preocupa-nos, em especial, as margens de recursos hídricos, pois estes têm sofrido grandes agressões a ponto de muitas vezes não serem reconhecidos como parte da cidade. Apagados da paisagem, perdem-se também no imaginário coletivo. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho pretende refletir sobre processos que alteram significativamente os territórios urbanos e colocam em risco o equilíbrio ambiental e cultural que tanto dão significado à existência das cidades. A pesquisa observa a cidade de Fortaleza, Brasil, analisando um aspecto de sua evolução, a presença dos cursos d’água, partindo-se da cartografia de 1945 comparando-a com fotos de satélite atuais. A análise permitiu a reflexão acerca da forma como os rios e riachos são considerados na lógica de desenvolvimento urbano das últimas décadas, tecendo observações acerca do risco de apagamento, da memória coletiva local, dos recursos hídricos.
