Les troubles de la santé mentale touchent l’humain, un « Homme-trace » (Galinon-Mélénec, 2011), à la fois producteur et construit de traces, quel que soit son genre, son âge ou son niveau social. Le numérique, compris comme culture (Doueihi, 2013), modifie la construction de la sociabilité et l’espace que nous habitons. Il change le rapport aux mobilités dans la ville. Avec son avènement, on « trace sa route » (Vidal, 2015) en produisant des traces et des données qui changent instantanément un urbanisme en mouvement et en expansion continus. Appréhendant le handicap comme une variation du développement humain (Fougeyrollas, 2010), nous interrogeons la place du numérique dans la réalisation d’une pleine participation sociale de la population ayant des incapacités psychiques. Inspirée de l’interactionnisme et des travaux de l’École Française sur la Trace, notre recherche ethnométhodologique interroge les représentations sociales, la communication et les usages du numérique d’un groupe de personnes ayant des incapacités psychiques dans un habitat spécialisé au Havre au nord-ouest de la France. De plus, nous interviewons des organismes accompagnant le groupe à la vie sociale et à l’inclusion. Notre observation montre un faible usage du numérique, quoique ce dernier joue un rôle principal dans la construction du lien social de ces personnes et préserve leur contact avec la ville. Les accompagnateurs se méfient du numérique dans leur relation avec le groupe et le considèrent comme une « boîte noire ». Nous proposons un clubhouse connecté qui met en place une éducation au numérique et des projets mémoriaux collaboratifs en partenariat avec des acteurs publics et privés pour une participation sociale en réseaux au sein des nouveaux environnements de la ville étendue numériquement.

Proponho neste artigo explorar as múltiplas linguagens que norteiam as formas do pensamento político do ex-prefeito da cidade de São Paulo o eng-arquiteto Francisco Prestes Maia.Como urbanista e como homem público Prestes Maia ao longo de sua trajetória se preocupou em construir a sua imagem na esfera pública como técnico, mostrando-se capaz de solucionar os problemas da cidade e ainda como o político honesto “avesso a política e aos políticos partidários”.Nesse percurso recupero seus desenhos, planos urbanísticos, relatórios de prefeito, artigos escritos para revistas especializadas, em jornais, comícios, programas de governo e nas propagandas como candidato a prefeito, com o intuito de desvendar os limites, conflitos e os paradoxos de sua trajetória como urbanista e político. Ainda destaco alguns aspectos que demarcaram a relação dos conceitos políticos e filosóficos do urbanismo com a política do Estado Novo e seus desdobramentos na década de 1960.

Full textAbstract:
Research has generally failed to explore whether the effect of neighborhood characteristics on home values has changed over time. We take a long–range view and study decadal changing home values in the southern California region over a 50–year period, from 1960 to 2009. We focus on the effects of racial composition and measures associated with the New Urbanism on changing home values. We find that whereas neighborhoods with more racial/ethnic minorities and racial mixing experienced relative decreases in home values in the earlier decades, this effect has effectively disappeared in the most recent decade and actually became positive for some measures. We also found that certain characteristics associated with the New Urbanism—population density, older homes, a lack of concentration of single family units—show stronger positive effects on home values in the most recent decades.

Full textAbstract:
Fabrizio Nevola considers the form, function, and significance of shops and the other commercial spaces contained in the ground floors of the Renaissance palaces of Siena, Florence, and Rome. Home Shopping: Urbanism, Commerce, and Palace Design in Renaissance Italy also investigates the social interaction between the private environment of the home and the public space of the street. Contrary to much that has been written about the palaces of the fifteenth century, their designers did not abandon botteghe (shops), nor more broadly construed commercial functions. The resulting buildings are hybrid structures in which the proud individual façades of private patrons' palaces were configured to serve the needs of trade. Today, urban space is largely experienced as a succession of shop fronts, and commercial activities overwhelm all other functions. Early modern Italy was not much different.

Full textAbstract:
As visions of smart urbanism gain traction around the world, it is crucial that we question the benefits that an increasingly technologised urbanity promise. It is not about the technology, but bettering peoples’ lives, insist smart city advocates. In this paper, I question the progressive potential of the smart city drawing on the case of Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative. Using the case studies of the smart home and ‘learning to code’ movement, I highlight the limits of such ‘smart’ interventions as they are stunted by the neoliberal-developmental logics of the state, thereby facilitating authoritarian consolidation in Singapore. As such, this paper distinguishes itself from previous works on the neoliberal smart city by situated smart urbanism within the socio-political dynamics of neoliberalism-as-developmental strategy. For smart urbanism to better peoples’ everyday lives, technological ‘solutionism’ needs to be replaced with more human-centric framings and understandings of urban challenges.

Full textAbstract:
Developing an agenda to conceptualise the connections between the domestic and the urban, this paper focuses on urban domesticities (homemaking in the city), domestic urbanism (the city as home) and the home-city geographies that connect them. Home-city geographies examine the interplay between lived experiences of urban homes and the contested domestication of urban space. Reflecting the ways in which urban homes and the ability to feel at home in the city are shaped by different migrations and mobilities, the paper demonstrates that not only home and the city, but also urban dwelling and mobility, are intertwined rather than separate.

O artigo discute a poética de Ángel González e se centra no volume Tratado de Urbanismo (1967). O debate dessa obra, representativa na esfera das reflexões do poeta sobre o homem e seu entorno, pretende materializar sua profunda indagação sobre a realidade espanhola circundante.Esperamos que o estudo do núcleo de Tratado de urbanismo demonstre como o autor nos apresenta uma crônica dos “anos triunfais” franquistas, além de lanzar no panorama literario de la época um debate inusitado entre o sujeito poético e sua experiência no mundo, no qual, seus versos adquirem a amplitude de uma “narrativa poética” que nos desvela o lado mais sombrio do suposto triunfalismo em que o “áspero mundo” da ditadura franquista se mostra em extensão e amplitude em seus detalhes mais sórdidos.

Full textAbstract:
The Fukushima catastrophe has led to important practical and conceptual shifts in contemporary Japanese architecture which in turn has led to a re-evaluation of the influential 1960s Japanese modern architecture movement, Metabolism. The Metabolists had the ambition to create a new Japanese society through techno-utopian city planning. The new generation of Japanese architects, after the Fukushima event, no longer seek evolutionally social change; rather, the disaster has made them re-consider what architecture is and what architects can do for people who had everything snatched from them by technology (nuclear power station) and nature (earthquake and tsunami). Drawing on the architectural projects of Tange Kenzo and Metabolists in the 1960s and Ito Toyo’s ‘Home-for-All project’ in 2011, the paper explores this major paradigm shift in Japanese architectural theory and practices.

Full textAbstract:
This article argues that Airbnb should be understood as a new urban institution that is transforming relations between market, state, and civil society actors. Taking the Airbnb Citizen advocacy initiative as my case, I examine how this transnational “home sharing” platform achieves such transformations, which in turn requires an investigation into the specific nature of Airbnb as an institutional form. Assuming the agenda-setting role of the urban “regulatory entrepreneur,” Airbnb aims to co-shape the terms of current and future policy debates pertaining not just to home sharing/short-term rental but also to the very fabric of city life. It pursues this mode of “platform urbanism” by mobilizing its user base, which it frames as a community of entrepreneurial middle-class citizens looking to supplement their income in a climate of economic insecurity and tech-enabled opportunity. Yet, who is the “Airbnb Citizen” and what are the opportunities and risks associated with platform-mediated citizenship?

Full textAbstract:
Takis Zenetos was enthusiastic about the idea of working from home, and believed that both architecture and urban planning should be reshaped in order to respond to this. He supported the design of special public spaces in residential units, aiming to accommodate the inhabitants during working hours. This article argues that Zenetos’s design for “Electronic Urbanism” was more prophetic, and more pragmatic, than his peers such as Archigram and Constant Nieuwenhuys. Despite the fact that they shared an optimism towards technological developments and megastructure, a main difference between Zenetos’s view and the perspectives of his peers is his rejection of a generalised enthusiasm concerning increasing mobility of people. In opposition with Archigram, Zenetos insisted in minimizing citizens’ mobility and supported the replacement of daily transport with the use advanced information technologies, using terms such as “tele-activity”. Zenetos was convinced that “Electronic Urbanism” would help citizens save the time that they normally used to commute to work, and would allow them to spend this time on more creative activities, at or near their homes. The main interest of “Electronic Urbanism” lies in the fact that it not only constitutes an artistic contribution to experimental architecture, but is also characterized by a new social vision, promising to resynchronize practices of daily life. An aspect that is also examined is the relationship of Zenetos’s ideas and those of the so-called Metabolists in the 1960s in Japan, including Kenzo Tange’s conception of megastructures. Zenetos’s thought is very topical considering the ongoing debates about the advanced information society, especially regarding the social concerns of surveillance, governance, and sovereignty within the context of Big Data. His conception of “tele-activities” provides a fertile terrain for reflecting on potential implications and insights concerning home-office conditions not only within the context of the current pandemic situation but beyond it as well.

Conforme o nível de complexidade das relações humanas foi crescendo e se desenvolvimento, estudiosos começaram a reconhecer um sistema mais organizado que passaram a chamar de processo civilizatório. Hoje, quando a maioria das aglomerações humanas ocorre em cidades ou regiões metropolitanas, estas afetadas por ações do Estado, do setor privado, de organizações da sociedade civil, do próprio cidadão, do meio-ambiente, todos contribuindo, de alguma forma (positiva ou negativamente), para o seu desenvolvimento, essas ações precisam ser monitoradas e avaliadas, para que sejam mitigados eventuais problemas na continuidade e evolução desse processo. Este artigo demonstrará, através de revisão literária dos conceitos de civilização e de suas três dimensões, qualidade de vida, desenvolvimento local e sustentabilidade, que estas contêm atributos e indicadores urbanos, indissociáveis à manutenção do processo civilizatório.

As reflexões partem da tríade investigada por Maia (2021): corpo-vestimenta-cidade, sobretudo dos trânsitos relacionados ao vestir para a Festa do Divino. Os corpos se deslocam no tempo e no espaço das cidades, causando interações com e entre o urbanismo e a arquitetura, propiciando alinhavos diversos. A proposta segue pontuando Hundertwasser (RESTANY, 2020) com as “cinco peles”: a epiderme; o vestuário; a casa do homem; o meio social e a identidade; e o meio global – ecologia e humanidade, investigadas a partir do que se veste durante a Festa do Divino Espírito Santo de Pirenópolis, manifestação identitária que permite aos corpos locais atuarem em inúmeros espaços, também vestidos e alterados durante as festividades, modificando sobremaneira as visibilidades na/da cidade, correlacionando o material, o imaterial e o natural, no que tange aos corpos que costuram suas vidas. Cerzindo as referências mencionadas com outras, em um percurso multidisciplinar, baseado em pesquisas bibliográficas e em vivências/experiências com a Festa na última década, intentam-se percepções sobre corpos, vestimentas e a cidade em investigações geográficas festivas, que são os propósitos da presente abordagem. Palavras-chaves: Vestimenta. Corpo. Cidade. Festa do Divino. Pirenópolis. Abstract The reflections depart from the triad investigated by Maia (2021): body-vestment-city, especially the transits related to dressing for the “Festa do Divino”. The bodies move in time and space in cities, causing interactions with and between urbanism and architecture, providing different alignments. The proposal continues punctuating Hundertwasser (RESTANY, 2020) with the five skins: the epidermis; the vestment; the man's house; the social environment and identity; and the global environment - ecology and humanity, investigated from what is dressed during the “Festa do Divino Espírito Santo” of Pirenópolis, an identity manifestation that allows local bodies to act in countless spaces also dressed and altered during the festivities, greatly modifying the visibilities in/of the city, correlating the material, the immaterial and the natural concerning the bodies that sew their lives. Darning the mentioned references with others in a multidisciplinary path based on bibliographical research and field experiences, with the party in the last decade, perceptions about bodies, vestment and the city are attempted in festive geographic investigations, which are the purposes of this approach. Keywords: Vestment. Body. City. Pirenópolis Traditional Party. Pirenópolis.

Full textAbstract:
What a word we live in. The existential reality of being ‘suburban’–an unpopular adjective at the best of times – has been subject to some astounding criticisms recently. People who choose to live in a suburban home are still deemed to be contemptible by a self-consciously urbane commentariat who could never live somewhere so vacuous. According to one newspaper journalist, the religious fascists who attacked Paris in November 2015 were at heart suburban, exhibiting contempt for the diversity and heterogeneity of the sophisticated metropolis because it upset their reactionary world view. The transatlantic celebrity-historian Simon Schama, appearing on BBC Television's Question Time in October 2015, denounced a critic of unfettered refugee migration to Europe for turning away his ‘suburban face’ to human tragedy. Can a suburbanite possibly find the wherewithal to bounce back from such criticism? Sadly, there is no great volume of historical literature to give them much inspiration, and more recent scholarship offers little that is truly revisionist.

ABSTRACT:By looking at the spatial cultures of nineteenth-century provincial administrative towns in colonial Bengal, this article problematizes notions of city, town or country and their relationships. It looks at colonial provincial governance within a framework that extended far beyond ‘formal’ governmental administrative spaces and thus engages with the complex overlap between categories like work, home and leisure. It argues that provincial urbanism in colonial Bengal defied clear-cut categories and in effect created a ‘fluid’ spatial culture, which was distinct from, but also calibrated between, metropolitan centres on the one hand and a vast rural hinterland on the other.

L'Aquitaine maintient une équitation classique et Midi-Pyrénées anticipe une équitation alternative. Cette dichotomie traduit des comportements sociaux différents alors qu'une interactivité est nécessaire pour les aménagements du territoire.

Full textAbstract:
This review focuses on the book The Nocturnal City written by the British social geographer Robert Shaw. The author’s major objective is to put the night at the center of the research agenda in urban studies, to contribute to urban theory in general, and to open up a new research field — nightology. The theoretical ambition for Shaw is an attempt to establish a dialogue between planetary urbanism (critical urban theory) and the post-structuralist understanding of the city (assemblage thinking). The author employs the conceptual model of ‘three ecologies’ developed by Felix Guattari; it considers the city as consisting of three interconnected layers: ‘self — society — earth’. Another important analytical tool is the post-colonial metaphor of the night as a frontier, which Shaw develops, considering specificities of the nocturnal city: infrastructures of artificial lighting and cleaning, the night-time economy, the changing aesthetics of cities at night and the experience of night-time at home, beyond the public space. The book does not offer a ready-made solution to theoretical problems and reveals just a little of the empirical diversity of nocturnal cities, but it is recommended as an introduction to a new field — nightology (especially for the Russian social sciences) — and as an elaboration of the discussion around the compatibility of critical urbanism and assemblage thinking in urban theory.

Full textAbstract:
Rousseau’s description of the pure state of nature and the natural man in his <em>Discours<br />sur l’Origine et les Fondements de l’Inégalité parmi les Hommes</em> (1755) has been a controversial topic in Rousseau studies. Natural man has no stable human relationships, language or developed reason, and does not recognise other humans as akin to him. How is it possible to reconcile Rousseau’s views on the pure state of nature with his speculative history of humanity? How could mankind even begin to develop? Why did Rousseau create such a seemingly disharmonious and disagreeable construct? This article introduces a new strategy of interpretation. Instead of proposing a single interpretation of the pure state of nature, it proposes to view Rousseau’s understanding of human nature as a literary device which allowed him to address many questions at once. His insistence on the solitude and ignorance of natural human beings is examined as a part of his critique of other philosophers. This, however, does not explain another tension within the depiction of the pure state of nature. Sometimes natural human beings are ignorant, incapable of learning or surpassing their instincts, but, at other times, they seem very smart and resourceful. This article shows that the latter sections of his work imply a critique of contemporary societies. In these sections, Rousseau introduces his analysis of urban life.

Full textAbstract:
Research on informal urbanism has shown that certain informal activities are often discouraged or seen as requiring regulation, while others are endorsed by city authorities. An indicative example is guerrilla gardening, the illicit cultivation of someone else's land, usually positively perceived as a form of activism. This article illustrates a case from the Global South where guerrilla gardening poses a threat to public spaces, through examining how it is part of an attempt by home and business owners to spill over their legal boundaries and expand into public spaces around their homes and businesses, most commonly for private gain, sometimes through making those spaces unusable for others. By employing ethnographic research, the article illustrates how plants are being tactically deployed to expand private space into public. It presents results of ethnographic fieldwork in two parts of Limassol, Cyprus, a relatively poor and neglected neighbourhood and the Limassol Marina, an area that has witnessed a rapid – if not rabid – development in the past few years. It illustrates a unique case where informal tactical gardening interventions in public space may exclude community members – sometimes even from using a public space – as opposed to most literature that considers guerrilla gardening as a pathway to producing engaging and sustainable communities. The main contributions of this article lie in the dark side of tactical gardening which is not necessarily resistance oriented.

Full textAbstract:
The Knoxville Urban Wilderness (KUW) is a successful example of a growing global movement to utilize vacant urban land as many cities “de-urbanize”. A key question is whether this particular kind of green space promotes social inequality via green gentrification. Our analysis shows how the KUW has affected nearby home prices. Socioeconomic data including income, educational attainment, and race is also presented to explore the possibility of gentrification in South Knoxville. Our findings do not support strong evidence of gentrification, which implies that lower-income households are benefiting from advances in environmental amenities. Other households in specific areas are benefiting from both increases in home values and from expansions of the KUW. These are encouraging results for urban planning efforts that seek to utilize large areas of vacant urban land while also having positive social and economic impacts.

Full textAbstract:
Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi Governor's Commission for Recovery, Rebuilding, and Renewal collaborated with the Congress for the New Urbanism to generate rebuilding proposals for the Mississippi Gulf Coast. One of the ideas generated from this partnership was the Katrina Cottage—a small home that could serve as an alternative to the FEMA Trailer. The State of Mississippi participated in the Pilot Alternative Temporary Housing (PATH) program, which was funded by the U.S. Congress. This study examines how local governments and residents responded to the Mississippi Cottage Program. This study finds that while the Mississippi Cottage program did provide citizens with needed housing following Hurricane Katrina, there are significant policy and implementation challenges that should be addressed before future disasters. The paper concludes by offering recommendations on how communities across can prepare to provide temporary housing in their communities.

Full textAbstract:
At the end of the twentieth century, the Azerbaijani Republic gained independence and, in this regard, began a new stage in the development of the country. With the advent of the outstanding statesman Heydar Aliyev to the leadership of the republic, and then Ilham Aliyev, the rapid development of the economy of Azerbaijan began. This entailed, along with the development of all areas of industry and agriculture, the development of the construction industry. Large-scale housing construction has begun in all cities and towns. Especially large-scale construction has begun in the city of Baku. At the beginning of the 21st century, as well as throughout the world, models of the future development of housing are emerging in Azerbaijan. Meeting the housing needs of people is a primary task of urban planning and architecture. According to the theses of «International Congress of Modern Architects» (SIAM), which were laid down in 1933 in «Athens Charter», the dwelling is subordinated to four main vital functions: work, life in home, rest, and transportation. Modern housing does not include only personal life; it is an essential and integral part of the overall social life process. A study of the process of life of the population clearly shows that all the functions of their vital activities are interconnected. This applies both to a person’s participation in the social production of material and spiritual values, to his participation in cultural life and to the restoration of his physical and spiritual strength. A complex life process requires an environment that functions as a system in which the apartment is only one of the elements.

This paper provides an ethnographic account of the spatial and social production of Chinese urban villages. It discusses urban village residents’ detailed tactics in developing/participating in the informal housing market, service market and labour market. By so doing, it emphasises people’s agency in making their own living spaces and further challenges the marginalisation paradigm that either victimises or disparages urban village residents. It shows peasants, who are commonly assumed to be the antithesis of modernisation and urbanisation, are major actors and urbanise their living spaces. This paper also elaborates on the types of governing strategies at the village and municipal levels. It points out that the contradictions and loopholes in state power have left space for the formation of informal markets and contribute to the making of urban villages in contemporary China.

<p>The driving factor for villagers to urbanize is the lack of jobs in their home areas. Agriculture is the main sector that is relied on by the population, meanwhile, the number of fertility is increasing, which results in unfulfilled needs. Poverty in the village is a driving factor for villagers to migrate. Population growth in an area occurs due to several population factors, including birth (fertility), death (mortality) and also population migration. Population growth is a dynamic balance between the forces that increase and those that reduce the number of people. More and more people are afflicted with a disease means that it will destroy vitality, productivity,</p>

The article argues that a distinctive character of the Black city is revealed in its connections to African heritage preservation. The Africanized Black city is situated within the long foundations of Pan African thought. A main assertion is that Black dignity is (re)instilled through the reconstruction of Afrocentric identity and philosophy for the Black urbanite navigating the unresolved problem(s) of the color line. Pan African legacies in the African American encounter with the modern city erected the localization of “African Home,” where the spiritual citizenship inhabited by Pan African architects generated an agency of self-determination in Black placemaking. In this way, Black placemaking “refers to the ways that Black Americans create sites of endurance, belonging, and resistance through social interaction.”

Abstract Space use, which includes the home range and habitat utilisation pattern of individuals for different activities (e.g. foraging, roosting), is one of the fundamental aspects of a species ecology. Hence, knowledge on the different aspects of space use in general is essential to understand the relationship between species and their habitat. Here, we investigated the home range size (using the minimum convex polygon method; MCP) and roosting site selection, using radiotelemetry, in a sedentary passerine species, the Eurasian Tree Sparrows (Passer montanus). The study was carried out during the non-breeding period (i.e. wintering), in a semi-urban habitat where supplemental feeding was also available. We found that individuals had highly variable home ranges, both in shape and size (mean ± SD of 95% MCP: 6.89 ± 5.73 ha), the location of which was influenced by the presence of bird feeders. Roosting sites of the tracked individuals were largely consistent at an individual level, that is, all birds used the same locations for roosting during the whole tracking period, and the roosting sites of all individuals were located on buildings, except for a few rare occasions. Our results suggest that urbanised habitats can provide multiple benefits for the individuals during the winter in the form of easily accessible resources (e.g. food, roosting place), and individuals readily exploit these resources by adjusting their space use according to their availability.

Public space directs how we live and act, how we socialize and even protest. If there is no community and solidarity there is no city, no civilization; there can only be a »city-state« as the modern version of an empire, says Murat Germen, photographer known for his critical view on the home-town of Istanbul. Muta-morphosis, probably one of his most famous series, uses digital manipulation to show a dark vision of future cities: buildings cramed together as in a strange and dangerous mutation process, almost melting as objects in Dali’s paintings. Through his artworks, text and lectures, Murat Germen criticizes excessive urbanization, motivated by capital and not by human needs. He also documented Gezi Park protests, in which the political aspect of managing the city became very apparent. His photos can be understood as a visual protest and Murat Germen thinks some of them may turn into visual evidence of the urban crime committed by the present Turkish government since 2002, when it came to power. Keywords: art, art and social power, gentrification, urbanism, visual protest

O projeto de lei complementar do Plano de Preservação do Conjunto Urbanístico de Brasília encontra-se em tramitação no âmbito do Poder Legislativo, do Distrito Federal, Brasil. Infelizmente, o projeto não considera históricos problemas da cidade: rupturas do tecido urbano; vazios sem justificativa funcional, bioclimática ou expressiva; questões de acessibilidade universal; má definição de espaços para a vida pública; uma das mais perversas estratificações socioespaciais do mundo. Décadas de crítica a configurações modernas, que não consideram o espaço ‘entre edifícios’ como alvo da atenção projetual, são ignoradas. Mais que em projetos do período clássico do urbanismo moderno (anos 1960), projetos recentes fazem proliferar espaços definidos por paredes cegas, ou edifícios-ilhas em esquemas introvertidos: atividades abrem para o interior dos prédios e esvaziam o âmbito público de transições entre fechado e aberto. As iniciativas do ‘homem comum’ de Certeau, sempre a reinventar a cidade mediante fascinantes ‘fissuras urbanas’ na ordem hegemônica, são ignoradas. Em vez de atacar problemas estruturais da cidade, o Plano perde-se em pormenorizar atributos das parcelas urbanas, no furor legislativo de quase duzentos artigos e uma miríade de anexos.

Muitas vezes buscamos pesquisar o diferente, interessando-nos somente o extraordinário. O estudo do ordinário, escrito em diferentes fontes poderia nos permitir aproximar-se de uma totalidade perceptiva de épocas passadas através de uma amplificação do olhar para mesmas fontes já pesquisadas por outras perspectivas. A redundância de estudar arquitetura e urbanismo através da análise da vida e obra de arquitetos urbanistas e seus e projetos, reduz a importância da observação da fruição da polis pelo homem, da teia de significados que poderiam ser detectados diacronicamente, através de inúmeras outras fontes, configurando assim uma superposição de camadas na temporalidade. Com uma abordagem metodológica reflexiva compreensiva proposta pela nova história política poderíamos flexibilizar o uso de fontes diferenciadas de pesquisa que em geral são utilizadas por outras áreas da ciência para complementar as análises arquitetônica/urbanísticas. Principalmente aqueles setores das instituições, bibliotecas e museus, chamados de Obras Raras. Um novo olhar para um acervo riquíssimo e que nos pareceria, ainda pouco explorado. Este presente Ensaio traz como inquietude buscar constatar a existência de janelas de possibilidades que, se abertas, iluminariam de maneira significativa nossa percepção da vida humana em sociedade de como essa mesma sociedade constrói e utiliza seu espaço.

ABSTRACTThe vast transformations that shaped western cities at the turn of the twentieth century were the product of global processes and interactions. Drawing on the cases of Montreal and Brussels, this article argues that underlying these broad dynamics were questions and preoccupations pertaining to more localized and personal scales of the body and the home. Concentrating on the discourses that circulated in these distinct, yet analogous cities, the article shifts the focus of the transnational approach from specific contacts between individuals and places, to the wider web on which circulated the ideas and initiatives that reshaped people's living environment.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines how developers attempt to move into new settings, and how such attempts sometimes fail. Unlike long-standing developers, who are in various ways ‘embedded’ ( Henneberry and Parris, 2013 ), newcomers have to overcome their lack of familiarity with the context of their intended project. Using the case of a proposed megaproject at Modderfontein in Johannesburg, we examine how a Chinese developer worked to articulate with the Johannesburg planning environment. It produced an extensive network by deploying its staff to Johannesburg, hiring local professional staff, winning the favour of provincial politicians and hiring consultants in the UK in order to help close a deal with planners responsible for approval. Sophisticated efforts to pitch the project to municipal planners using win-win narratives failed to satisfy the planners’ material concerns that the project would break up urban space, would be financially exclusionary and could undermine economies elsewhere in the city. The developer ultimately withdrew as a result of delays in approval combined with a financial crisis it faced in its home context. The article considers the interplay between the transnational networks that emerge around megaprojects; the communicative space of project negotiations that is characterised by different cultures of planning; and the political economic context that allows – or interrupts – transnational development.

O presente artigo visa a contextualizar, enquanto testemunhos das características geomorfológicas originais do sítio, cursos d’água da bacia do córrego Mandaqui, canalizados e tamponados no decorrer da consolidação urbana da zona norte paulistana. Tal contextualização, no entanto, mostra-se reveladora não apenas de elementos naturais historicamente negados enquanto paisagem, mas também de relações afetivas diversas estabelecidas entre o homem e as águas. A experiência dos espaços associados aos afluentes do Mandaqui demonstra a possibilidade de retomar a consciência sobre a existência de pequenos córregos tamponados em São Paulo. Por meio de vestígios, os córregos ocultos insinuam-se à superfície. Pouco a pouco, o olhar de quem se encontra em tais espaços é inevitavelmente conduzido, entre becos e vielas, a percorrer o trajeto esculpido pelas águas. Estas, ainda que apartadas da superfície, por meio de seus vestígios demonstram a impossibilidade do fazer humano em apagar por completo certos traços da natureza primitiva. O trabalho do qual resulta o presente artigo integra os estudos de caso da margem direita do Tietê, realizados no âmbito da pesquisa acerca dos Córregos Ocultos, coordenada pelo Prof. Dr. Vladimir Bartalini junto ao Laboratório da Paisagem, Arte e Cultura da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo.

Full textAbstract:
There is growing interest in urban pollinator communities, although they may be subject to biotic homogenization in densely artificial landscapes. Paris (France) is one of the densest cities in the world, yet over the years many insect pollinator species have been reported there. We conducted in-depth surveys of Parisian green spaces for two years, in order to improve our knowledge of these assemblages. We explored several types of green spaces, monitoring pollinators throughout their activity season. We listed 118 species of wild bees and 37 species of hoverflies, updating pre-existing lists with 32 additional species. Bee assemblages showed functional diversity with 18.5% parasitic species and 17.7% oligolectic species. We also found several bee and hoverfly species under special conservation status. Over the study period, we observed seasonal succession of species, with diversified phenological niches. The greatest taxonomic and functional diversity was found in green spaces combining several habitats with ecological management. Despite its very dense urbanism, Paris is home to diverse pollinator communities. As a result, nearly half of the wild bee species of the wider Ile-de-France administrative region can be found within the city. This highlights the need to also consider dense urban environments in insect pollinator conservation strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Prior studies have separately suggested the importance of physical distance or social distance effects for the creation of neighborhood ties. This project adopts a case study approach and simultaneously tests for propinquity and homophily effects on neighborhood ties by employing a full–network sample from a recently developed New Urbanist neighborhood within a mid–sized southern city. the authors find that physical distance reduces the likelihood of weak or strong ties forming, suggesting the importance of accounting for propinquity when estimating social tie formation. the authors simultaneously find that social distance along wealth reduces the likelihood of weak ties forming. Social distance on life course markers—age, marital status, and the presence of children—reduces the formation of weak ties. Consistent with the systemic model, each additional month of shared residence in the neighborhood increases both weak and strong ties. An important innovation is this study's ability to directly compare the effects of physical distance and social distance, placing them into equivalent units: a 10 percent increase in home value difference is equivalent to a 5.6 percent increase in physical distance.

In Singapore, a densely urbanised Asian city state, more than 80% of the population stays in public housing estates and the majority (90%) own their own homes. For the needy who cannot afford home ownership, public rental flats are available. We were interested in exploring social-environmental factors that are associated with loneliness among elderly residents of public rental housing in Singapore. We surveyed residents aged ≥60 in two Singapore public housing precincts in 2016. Loneliness was measured using a three-item scale. Sociodemographic information was obtained via standardised questionnaires. We used chi-square to identify associations between loneliness and sociodemographic characteristics, as well as neighbourhood perceptions (safety, convenience and the physical environment), on univariate analysis; and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The response rate was 62.1% (528/800). On multivariate analysis, staying in a rental flat block was independently associated with loneliness (adjusted odds ratio, aOR = 2.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.32–3.36), as was staying in a poorer physical environment (aOR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.15–3.22). Although needy Singapore residents share the same built environment as more well-to-do neighbours, differences in the impact of loneliness do exist.

Utilizando-se do método histórico comparativo em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, principalmente, pelo diálogo da história, urbanismo, arquitetura, paisagismo e educação o presente artigo pretende fazer, além de discussões sobre preservação ambiental, sustentabilidade e qualidade de vida em ambiente urbano, compreender como os habitantes da cidade foram mudando a sua forma de se relacionar com o meio natural ao longo dos anos. Goiânia foi pensada e idealizada para ser, além uma cidade planejada no estilo arquitetônico de cidades-jardim, a futura capital de Goiás que nascia se aproximava dos princípios de uma urbanização sustentável que procurava manter o equilíbrio entre a natureza, economia e sociedade. Utilizando-se de uma documentação variada - planta e plano diretor elaborados por Atílio Corrêa Lima, registros de fotos aéreas, mapas das áreas destinadas a parques e bosques, projetos urbanísticos e planos diretores, relatório urbanístico, dados populacionais, plantas de urbanização de bairros, mapas de loteamentos legais e ilegais - o artigo pretende mostrar que o projeto de construção de Goiânia idealizado por Atílio Corrêa Lima entrevia uma interação entre a cidade, o homem e a natureza ao destinar amplos espaços para a construção de praças, jardins e áreas verdes para o lazer, tendo em vista também, a preservação dos recursos naturais essenciais à a uma cidade que poderia abrigar até 50 mil habitantes. No entanto a partir de 1950 o êxodo rural provocando pela expansão da fronteira agrícola para o Centro-Oeste levou a uma expansão acelerada e desordenada de Goiânia, e consequentemente, a expansão da malha urbana sobre as áreas que deveriam ser de conservação e preservação.

Aedes aegypti is a ubiquitous vector of arboviruses mostly in urbanised areas throughout the tropics and subtropics and a growing threat beyond. Control of Ae. aegypti is difficult and costly, and no vaccines are available for most of the viruses it transmits. With practical control solutions our goal, ideally suitable for delivery by householders in affected communities, we reviewed the literature on adult Ae. aegypti biology and behaviour, within and close to the human home, the arena where such interventions must impact. We found that knowledge was vague or important details were missing for multiple events or activities in the mosquito life cycle, such as the duration or location of the many periods when females rest between blood feeding and oviposition. The existing body of literature, though substantial, is not wholly reliable, and evidence for commonly held “facts” range from untraceable to extensive. Source references of some basic information are poor or date back more than 60 years, while other information that today is accepted widely as “fact” is not supported by evidence in the literature. Many topics, e.g., sugar feeding, resting preferences (location and duration), and blood feeding, merit being revisited in new geographical regions and ecological contexts to identify vulnerabilities for exploitation in control.

Full textAbstract:
Growing out of writings on Global (North) cities, urban globalisation research (UGR) has expanded its canon to engage with an increasing diversity of cities and locations. Yet, this broadening has been uneven and controversial in its theoretical horizons and empirical universe. Focusing on the latter, this paper combines bibliometric, demographic, economic and georeferenced data to assess how UGR maps onto internationally documented cities ( n: 1692). Our study analyses city-themed publications by city location, demographic size and home-country income (2000–2014). Drawing on social science publications indexed in English (Scopus database), our results provide grounds for cautious optimism: recent publications offer broader, though still uneven coverage. The moving spatial average of publication counts also implies that the topical centre of published research gravity is shifting away from Euro-America. Yet, UGR lags in its coverage of the urban geographical universe, failing to keep pace with the economic/demographic trends that are resulting in southward/eastward shifts in worldwide urbanisation. Furthermore, while smaller cities and those in lower-income countries are still sidelined, cities in upper-middle income countries exhibit the largest gaps between observed and expected publication values. In our conclusion, we contend that urban bibliometrics could be further mobilised to identify publication foci and lacunae. Applied to cities on and off the map and a broader universe of urban knowledges, bibliometrics could help move contentious debates forward, identifying newer paradigms that may be engaging the world of cities beyond the globalisation umbrella and charting out multiple and complex topical relations across variegated worlds of urbanism.

This article discloses a domestic system that allows greater energy efficiency in a home located in Mexico City, which facilitates its contribution to a green urbanism by installing it in the buildings of the City.The system was designed and built using a solar heater (CalGen) that was installed in a house with four people. Aluminum cans were used in the CalGen as vacuum tubes, the water heated in the cans was used in the shower, in addition the CalGen structure were placed photoelectric cells, which were controlled by an Arduino Uno, in order to increase the efficiency of the solar radiation. The water heated by the CalGen helps to reduce the emissions 3.6 kiolograms (kg) of carbon dioxide (CO2) per day, since before installing the system the house used principally liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to heat the water. The water circulating inside the aluminum cans is heated by solar radiation, leaving the water at an average temperature of 37.71°C. The eight photoelectric cells generate 240 watts per day (W/day). The electricity generated by the photoelectric cells is stored in rechargeable batteries. The methodology of the tests and construction of CalGen is shown, as well as the changes that were made from the tests. There is also a cost-benefit study that CalGen had in housing.It should promote the design of cities where the environment of the quality of life of human beings is healthier and more sustainable, given that the space of cities is being increasingly demanded. Green buildings should not be an optional trend, but a fundamental requirement, taking advantage of and adapting existing spaces more effectively.

La communication présente les principaux résultats d'une étude relative à la résilience territoriale en Dordogne girondine. Ce secteur recouvre de multiples enjeux car il est densément urbanisé et soumis aux risques d'inondations par débordement de cours d'eau et par submersion marine. Après un détour théorique sur la notion de résilience appliquée aux « territoires », la communication présente tour à tour les enjeux, les acteurs et enfin les nouvelles stratégies qui mériteraient d'être expérimentées à l'issue de l'étude. Le Conseil Départemental de Gironde souhaite en effet développer, au titre de la solidarité territoriale, des actions localisées qui favorisent la compétitivité et l'attractivité des territoires en pleine mutation en Dordogne girondine. Dans cette perspective, l'équipe d'AMENAG'EAU - qui associe différentes compétences au sein du Conseil départemental - a privilégié un dispositif méthodologique d'étude qui accorde une place clef à l'histoire des territoires. Celui-ci repose sur un triptyque allant de l'exploitation d'archives au recueil de témoignages en passant par l'analyse diachronique de l'évolution de l'occupation des sols. L'objectif d'AMENAG'EAU est de puiser dans le corpus des stratégies individuelles et collectives mises en œuvre au 19ème et au début du 20ème siècle tant en termes de localisation que d'organisation des hommes et des activités à l'échelle de la basse vallée qu'en termes de procédés architecturaux, de matériaux ou encore de réseaux techniques à l'échelle locale, afin d'influencer de façon constructive les collectivités souvent démunies et pourtant en charge de l'élaboration des documents d'urbanisme et de la planification territoriale.

In a globalized world, with Brazilian society naturally increasingly integrated with that of other countries, popular tolerance for problems such as corruption and poor provision of public services decreases and there is an awakening of demands for improvements. The people's demands are directed towards, in addition to the sensitive areas of health, education and probity, to urban infrastructure interventions directly linked to urban planning, precisely because cities are home to the overwhelming majority of the population. In this context, achieving federative autonomy by the 1988 constitution, also influenced by the spontaneous social phenomenon of urbanization, the municipality leaves its once timid role in the realization of fundamental rights to receive, by express option of the constituent, the task of executing urban policy defined in its master plan, ensuring the sustainable management of cities as a prominent diffuse right. Thus, the importance of urban planning rights is expanded, contributing to this protagonism, mainly through what is called “Active or Operational Urbanism”, which, far from being limited to the control of the exercise by the individual of the right to property and to build, is preordained to transform the artificial environment built by man through urbanization actions, benefiting and re-benefiting the habitable spaces with the scope of giving citizens a functional, sustainable and balanced city, meeting the most acute and modern popular desires. The peculiarities of the execution of urban policy to which the 3 levels of the federation under municipal leadership compete, are also analyzed in light of the specific attributions of the local entity for planning and controlling the use, subdivision and occupation of land and execution of the urban policy, inspired by cooperative federalism, by the clause of local interest and the principle of federative subsidiarity, which translate into an indisputable municipalization of actions (articles 23, single paragraph, 30, I and VIII and 182 of the Constitution).

Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this research was applying distant-interpretation data in examining slum residential phenomenon and terrestrial data in analyzing both social and cultural issues related to development of slum residential. This research resulting a residential mobility model throughout areas of research, especially sub-urban including the Chinese cemetery area; the new migrant was the urbanist namely the bridge headers group, consists of tramp and hobos whom should be concerned more. Though they just have settled in short-period within the area, their income was categorized financially settled. They owned their own home not as the renter and even, built housing for their subordinates amounted 7-15 families in a complex of residential. Stability of the income was also supported by resident-owning whereas selecting its location based on the land-availability which initially settled the location illegally among the graves. This location was selected since its less-maintained condition by neither their descendant nor cemetery officer which then densely covered by bushes. Availability of the sufficient land leads them to build their residential which also used as the scrap collection space. During the times, their number was increased referred to their raising income. Legalizing their residential was the next step for their existence and sustainability by purchasing or renting the land. Eventually this bridge header was earning a stable income, owning their own home, and locating their residential in the sub-urban area furthermore but unfortunately less-supported by a highly established life style but an early category one . These were indicated by several factors, either employer or subordinate tramps which cooking foods altogether, unfashionably worn, and behavior of their youngster of asking consideration and advice to the consolidator and status seeker.

Abstract The Roman Domus in Mdina, Malta, has become an idealised example of the Roman presence in the Maltese Islands; the partial remains of a lavishly decorated domus that would have in its time been situated within the walls of the urbanised Roman city of Melite. The site, last excavated more than 100 years ago, is also home to the only museum in the Maltese Islands, which is solely dedicated to house and showcase a collection of artefacts that date from the Roman period in Maltese history. This site alone provides a unique perspective on Roman Malta, being our only substantial remnant from the Roman Maltese capital, and needs a refocused and renewed exploration. For a long time, the archaeology of Roman sites in Malta has suffered a distinct lack of priority, and it has only been in the last two decades that considerably more focus has been placed on understanding the Roman period. Most of the archaeological focus, in this respect, has centred on agricultural villas, and though this study has illuminated a better understanding of the Roman period, very little has been undertaken in the last century in piecing together the importance of urban Melite to the broader nature of life in the islands, as well as their place in the larger context of the central Roman Mediterranean. The Melite Civitas Romana Project offers the potential of new understanding of the domus and the surrounding archaeological environment through a modern exploration of the site and the promise of the first available assemblage of Roman material from an urban Roman context.

Full textAbstract:
Since the education explosion in mid-nineteenth century England, when astute publishers began to capitalise upon a newly created and burgeoning market, Australia has always featured prominently in fiction aimed at children and adolescents. Those British children who initially made up the bulk of the reading audience for books set in Australia were eager to read episodic stories set in exciting countries far from home, and an Australian setting offered a glamorous backdrop for tales of high adventure. Moreover, it appears that while the nineteenth-century British reading public perceived Australia as an exotic place, then Queensland was quintessentially so. A disproportionate number of early tales about life in Australia is set in this colony, most often in the outback regions, but also in the vicinity of the coastal tropics. Nineteenth-century Queensland was viewed by the British, as well as by many Australians, as a remote outpost of Great Britain; it was commonly thought of as the least urbanised, the least “civilised”, the least industrialised and perhaps the most remote of all the regions of Australia. It was widely seen as an area of great and diverse (if also mysterious and desolate) natural beauty, of rural innocence as yet unpolluted by dark, satanic mills (even Brisbane was a sleepy, sprawling country town in picturesque contrast to the bustling southern cities of Sydney and Melbourne). Children's novelists capitalised on the mystique of Queensland, archetypal frontier colony, by creating a cluster of tales showing what it was like to be a Queensland kid.
