Mathematics and geometry in Lisbon’s Baixa district: checking influences from Valletta. A study on the street widths

António Ricardo da Costa; João Véstia; Jorge Gonçalves

Abstract The rebuilding of Lisbon after the earthquake of 1755 is one of the most important urban developments in eighteenth-century Western Europe. The reconstruction of the city gave the Marquis of Pombal the opportunity to impose political ideas that affirmed enlightened rationalism. Strongly influenced by the humanism of preceding centuries, the Reconstruction Plan presents complex geometries in which mathematics and urban design go hand-in-hand. This paper raises the hypothesis that the layout of Baixa Pombalina was based on the application of mathematical algorithms that were also identified by Jäger in the plans for Valletta, built 200 years previously, thus restating the humanist feeling of Lisbon’s reconstruction. Establishing the existence of a mathematic rule in the urban grid of the Baixa Pombalina proves its humanistic sense and ascertains that the plan searches for the accomplishment of a humanistic ideal world.

Incapacidade Funcional e Ambiente Suburbano: Proposta de Tipologia para uma Relação Difícil

Jorge Gonçalves; Marta Castilho Gomes; Luís Carvalho; Sofia Ezequiel

Introdução: Pretendeu-se conhecer a desigual distribuição dos indivíduos que apresentam incapacidades funcionais ligadas à audição, à visão e ao andar no espaço suburbano de Lisboa. Métodos: A articulação entre variáveis e unidades territoriais resultou numa tipologia que ajuda a diferenciar estes territórios e, finalmente, permitiu a criação de uma cartografia suburbana que relaciona, nas áreas mais problemáticas, episódios de incapacidade funcional e urbanismo. Resultados: Das 40 variáveis recolhidas verificou-se que com apenas oito foi possível descrever a realidade das 26 freguesias que apresentam uma taxa de risco bastante acima da média na concentração de pessoas com dificuldades funcionais. Estas freguesias estão assimetricamente distribuídas: 10 no norte e 16 no sul da Área Metropolitana. A aplicação da análise de clusters permitiu diferenciar estas freguesias em quatro tipos distintos: polarizador e envelhecido; desqualificado e residencial; antigo e rural; pouco acessível e diverso. Conclusão: Considera-se que os resultados obtidos a partir da investigação desenvolvida contribuem para o reforço do conhecimento do efeito acelerador ou inibidor do urbanismo na integração de populações com incapacidades funcionais e para a formulação de políticas urbanas mais adequadas, eficazes mas também diferenciadas, visando a inclusão sociourbana destes indivíduos.

Tensões e contradições na construção de futuros urbanos sustentáveis: o caso de Lisboa

Luís Carvalho; Jorge Gonçalves

This article deals with the (in) ability of the plan to face the changes of a western civilization wrapped in a transition in which an urban revolution emerges. To verify this (in) ability, a set of plans for Lisbon was compared to several future stories built to that city after the transition, in 2030. It was found that, concerning a city of Lisbon after the urban revolution, the positivistic plan – incorporating neither uncertainty nor risk – hardly encompasses broader and speculative scenarios, becoming inadequate and structurally unable to think about the future. The proximity and convergence between future studies and urban studies emerge as a central priority for the city.

As metrópoles também têm lugares. O caso do bairro de Setúbal Nascente, Portugal

Jorge Gonçalves; António Ricardo da Costa; Luís Carvalho

The strategic approach is essential as a way to, from existing resources and the dynamics of actors, design credible scenarios for the future. These scenarios, far from enabling to divine the future, provide tools to build a significant part of that desired future. This renewed approach to the social neighborhoods that have been in crisis in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has produced a number of consensual and innovative measures. This paper aims to describe the experience of the Strategic Plan for Setubal Nascente (Portugal), which focused on one of the most emblematic social neighborhoods in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon. The Plan opted for a different methodological approach, equating various development scenarios and assuming a solution that would have to be at different scales – from local to regional –, bringing together the right to housing and the right to the city.
