Água e saneamento: do caos às conquistas

Regional development and non-territorial policies: meaningful evidence of a neg...

In the period after the 2008 financial crisis, the European Union and Brazil experienced, respectively, periods of regional divergence and convergence. The research developed in these two territories brings new evidence on the importance of non-territorial policies, that worked as indirect regional policy, for these trajectories. In the case of the EU, (direct) regional policy was not strong enough to counterac...

Segregação socioespacial urbana

A circunscrição ou mesmo o fechamento de determinados grupos sociais ou étnicos em zonas específicas das cidades, retirando-lhes o direito à mobilidade, limitando os seus laços sociais com os restantes membros da sociedade e impedindo-os de escolher onde viver e onde utilizar o espaço público, tem sido um processo que vem acompanhando a história da urbanização. Embora as cidades sejam uma mistura fascinante de ...

Wildfire mitigation and adaptation: Two locally independent actions supported b...

There is a broad consensus in the academic and policy communities over the need to shift the focus from fire suppression to fire prevention. To inform policies that effectively promote this shift, we distinguish between prevention actions aimed at more fire-resilient landscapes and those focused on the protection of people, i.e., wildfire mitigation and adaptation (WM&A), respectively. With the goal of discussi...

Regionalização, Desenvolvimento e Desigualdades Regionais - Uma relação muito c...

A regionalização é um tema persistente na agenda política portuguesa. Dificilmente deixará de o ser, pois está inscrita na Constituição da República Portuguesa desde 1976 sem que se tenha concretizado. Essa persistência tem, contudo, períodos de maior e de menor visibilidade nas agendas públicas, quer na política e mediática, quer na académica. Esses períodos podem ser mais ou menos prolongados, consoante os ri...

Natural hazard insurance outcomes at national, regional and local scales: A com...

This study addresses the role of natural hazard insurance in two European countries with different insurance markets and socioeconomic conditions: Sweden and Portugal. The analyses were conducted at the national, regional (Southern Sweden and Lisbon Metropolitan Area – LMA), and local (Malmö and Lisbon cities) scales. Most damage caused by weather and climate-related (WCR) hazards during the 1980–2019 period wa...

Seleção e adaptação de metas para a escala localum ponto de partida para a apli...

Nesta comunicação, a partir do exemplo dos municípios portugueses, expomos as principais razões da relevância do contributo da escala local para que os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da Agenda 2030 das Nações Unidas sejam alcançados e deixamos algumas ideias sobre como os governos locais e outros agentes a essa escala podem caminhar nesse sentido. Depois, apresentamos um método para a seleção, n...
