title: Beyond the freedom to build: Long-term outcomes of Elemental’s incremental housing in Quinta Monroy

description: Abstract In 2003, the Chilean architecture firm Elemental began to revisit the idea of partially completed housing harnessing the productive capacities of the informal process within a more formal framework. The Quinta Monroy project in the northern Chilean city of Iquique was the first such project and involved the in-situ replacement of an informal settlement. The desire of residents was for a middle-class house that was beyond the scope of their budget or the subsidy. The Elemental project at Quinta Monroy comprised 93 expandable houses designed in parallel buildings and organized in four courtyards aiming to promote community interaction and maintain neighbors’ affinities. This paper investigates the process of housing adaptation through self-construction twelve years after the residents received their homes in 2005. The strategy to promote resident-driven expansions has been successful as 92 out of 93 households expanded their homes. The most significant concerns focused on the deterioration of living standards due to progressive and uncontrollable extensions which might have significant impacts on the settlement development. The findings from this paper focus on the neighbors’ negotiations for housing extensions and the risk of the re-creation of precarious living environments evidencing limitations for unassisted or spontaneous incremental schemes of housing development.

title: System Dynamics for Sustainable Transportation Policies: A Systematic Literature Review

description: Abstract Systems Dynamics (SD) is an efficient method that allows to analyze systems with dynamic complexity and policy resistance. The holistic approach of SD is suitable to analyze the current transportation problems. Among the applications of SD in the transportation sector, the use of this tool in the development and implementation of sustainable transport policies stands out. In this context, this paper aims to conduct a systematic literature review to assess the use of SD in the development and implementation of urban policies focused on sustainable transportation. The results show that most studies analyze policies focused on reducing the negative externalities of transportation, highlighting the efforts to reduce air pollutant emissions and traffic congestion. However, we did not find a study that analyzes non-motorized and motorized modes by economic, environmental, social, spatial and traffic variables. At the end of this study, the gaps found in the literature are pointed out, being available to further exploration in future studies.

title: The Diagonal-Poble Nou Special Plan: from the importance of public leadership in the management and production of urban space to the emergence of liberal urbanism (I)

description: Abstract A walk through the last section of Diagonal Avenue in Barcelona, reviewing some of the major projects developed for it in recent years, allows us to evaluate the city's urban policies as a history of lights and shadows, of remarkable interventions, but also important social debts. One of such projects, the Diagonal Poble Nou Special Plan, led to the completion of the city's main avenue, which runs through the old tissue of Poble Nou, a downtown district with a rich and significant industrial heritage. The opening of Diagonal Avenue, respecting the historical plan of Cerdà, allowed a new configuration of the urban fabric and brought a new order in all its surroundings. The aim of this paper is to analyse how the elaboration of the Diagonal Poble Nou Special Plan is faced, as a representative of the urban planning practised in Barcelona in the 1980s. At the same time, it shows how the changes introduced at the Plan’s approval; imply a paradigm’s change and a turn towards a more liberal urbanism, reducing public responsibility in the management and production of urban space. The methodology involved a literature review and in-depth analysis of the planning documents at their historical context.

title: Spatiotemporal variability of urban heat island: Influence of urbanization on seasonal pattern of land surface temperature in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, Brazil

description: Abstract Cities experience the extensive urban heat island effect (UHI), which continue to pose challenges for humanity's increasingly urban population, where tropical cities have experienced a continued and rapid urbanization process in the past few decades. We present the evolution of surface UHI and its controlling factors in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, over the last 16 years (2003-2018), which has experienced unique consolidated economic growth and urban transformation under wet equatorial climate. We incorporate MODIS and Landsat satellite data and evaluate statistical techniques for estimates the variation in the land surface temperature (LST) during two seasons: wet season and dry season. Our result revealed that the regions of fast urbanization resulted in a decrease of normalized difference vegetation index and increase of LST. In addition, annual maps showed the spatial pattern of surface UHI intensities were produced based on daytime and nighttime temperature, and the analysis result indicated that the spatial distribution of high heat capacity was closely related with the densely built-up areas. These findings are helpful for understanding the urbanization process as well as urban ecology, which both have significant implications for urban planning and minimize the potential environmental impacts of urbanization in Metropolitan Region of Belém.

title: Mobility controversies: The case of the Chacao Bridge, Chiloé archipelago southern Chile

description: Abstract In recent decades, the mobility practices of the inhabitants of Chiloé have been influenced by the installation of various types of infrastructure, which has an impact on the socio-economic, cultural and political spheres, making island daily life a field in tension between the traditional and the modern. The discussion presented in this article is based on the controversy regarding the construction of a bridge connecting the continent with the Chiloé archipelago in the south of Chile, under the assumption that the infrastructure will grant more “mobility”, connectivity and better access to the world. In the last few decades, the mobility practices of Chiloé inhabitants have been influenced by the complex situation caused by the construction of the bridge. This influences different socioeconomic, cultural and political areas, creating tension between traditional and modern daily life. Methodologically, a press analysis was carried out, including the main events involving the construction of the bridge. For this reason, the category of controversies is used when thinking about mobility. Among the main results, the role of the bridge as a trigger for narratives that place mobility in the middle of modern life, the sense of hypermobility as an activity that must be followed by the majority of the population, the discursive divergence regarding the understanding of mobility among the diverse social actors that are involved in the problem, and the importance of controversies in the understanding of social conflicts in the cities.

title: Violence in Public Transport: An Analysis of Resilience and Vulnerability in the City of Rio de Janeiro

description: Abstract Indicators of violence involving public transportation have reached alarming levels in most Brazilian states, hampering mobility. This article aims to identify the level of vulnerability and resilience of public transportation in 21 administrative regions of the city of Rio de Janeiro, in light of criminal occurrences. Variables related to population, employment, intervening opportunities, travel time, criminal occurrences associated with public transportation and police coverage of each evaluated region were used. The results indicated that the five most vulnerable regions are Campo Grande, Méier, Barra da Tijuca, Rio Comprido and Irajá, and the most resilient are Lagoa, Copacabana, Botafogo, Vila Isabel and Tijuca. The contribution of this work is the proposal to analyze the level of vulnerability and resilience based on public security data, with emphasis on the spatial dependence relation among the regions.

title: Building form and energy efficiency in tropical climates: A case study of Penang, Malaysia

description: Abstract Malaysia is a nation that has undergone a massive development based on its abundance of fuel supply. The imbalance ratio between gross domestic products and energy demand clearly indicates the need to promote energy-efficiency strategies in the country. This study investigates the relationship between building shape and energy consumption by considering the control of excessive solar radiation in a tropical climate. In the first step, four basic plan geometries, namely, square, rectangle, triangle and circle shapes, are studied to determine the optimal building shape in terms of energy consumption in Penang, Malaysia. Results of simulation analysis using DesignBuilder software (Version 5.4.0) reveal that the circle is the most suitable form in terms of energy performance. In the second step, all buildings with extended shapes based on the optimal shape obtained from the first step are simulated under the same condition to analyse the thermal behaviour of different building forms. Amongst four alternative extended cases, Case 3 with 90 cm depth and without vertical offset from the top of the window has superior energy performance and sufficient natural daylight. This study contributes to enhance energy efficiency of new buildings by incorporating design strategies in the design process.

title: The role of Singapore's modern urban agriculture in food security policy and the contribution of reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere

description: Abstract This article presents results of the postdoctoral work, where he investigated the evolution of urban agriculture models and their impacts as public policy of sustainability, food security and ecological economy of the "Country - City - State" of Singapore. For, modern urban agriculture deployed in this region of Asia has contributed significantly to reducing local food insecurity, as well as contributing to more sustainable food production practices and significant reduction of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in supply chain logistics. The methodology used was in bibliographic investigations and field research with high-tech urban farms of agricultural production without the use of land, in order to appreciate the production and consumption of vegetables by Singaporeans in order to calculate an estimated value of the reduction of emissions of (CO₂) caused by the use of modern urban agriculture. The results showed that Singapore is intensive use of urban agriculture with models of vertical farms, indoor farms and farms of property terraces. All models presented technological innovations, high productivity and organically certified food production and with emphasis on sustainability in contributing to the reduction of (CO₂) emissions in nature.
