Developing choesive cities: a perspective from the ground

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:My presentation on a such a general subject intends to show, using the Portuguese case, that, in little over twenty years of experience with a new and growing migratory process, it is possible to learn how to lay out policy foundations answering the challenge resulting from a rapid evolution from a mono-cultural and traditional society to a multicultural and more cosmopolitan one. It is neither my intention to develop a theory, nor to present a general (“comprehensive”) essay on the several issues of migratory phenomena in Portugal. Instead, I will use my experience as geographer and urban planner, taking lessons from several projects of rehabilitation and urban renovation strategies on which I have worked over the last years, to draw/select domains in which it is important to intervene, in order to reinforce the social and economic cohesion of our cities, and therefore make them more liveable.
