Item A cidade enquanto museu a céu aberto: A experiência da revitalização do centro histórico de Santos/SP(2008-02-09) Bittencourt, LúcioItem Aprendiendo de Puebla: conservación del Patrimonio urbano para una ciudad habitable(2008) Rivas, Juan Luis de lasThe historical centre of Puebla was included in the UNESCO list as World Heritage Site in 1987. Founded for poor Spanish people (1531), the “Puebla de los Ángeles” became very soon an important urban centre, with its splendour in the Virreinal middle period. This paper presents the idea that for the real preservation of the historical city it is necessary to recover the ‘residential value’ of this historical urban space. For it we have a great opportunity in the Puebla’s urban block (83,5m. x 167 m.), an incredible ‘microcosm’ dominated by the structure of ‘patios’. Here there is a lot of abandoned or semi-abandoned buildings and tourism, with the administrative and commercial functions, are not sufficient for recreate the urban space in its true potential. It is possible to think in the historical city as a liveable place, in a more sustainable way.Item Desenvolvimento urbano e questão ambiental na Amazônia: O caso projeto habitacional Nova Cidade em Manaus(2008-02-09) Zogahib, André; Botelho, JoãoItem Meaningful Urbanism: A human-centered approach to placemaking using form-based zoning codes(2020) Hyden, Sarah; Lopez, Sarah; Hoelscher, StevenThe professional perspectives that planners, designers, government officials, real estate developers, and other trained ‘experts’ have on urban space are often very different from the lived experiences of the people who actually live in communities. This results in the need for planning methods that not only accommodate people’s everyday perspectives, but center them in the process of designing the urban landscape. This thesis examines how the creation and conception of place are central to people’s experiences and considers form-based zoning as a potential mechanism for implementing human-centered values in actual built environments. It examines the emergence of zoning as a way of exerting control over space, phenomenological perspectives on urban placemaking, and how the conveyance of meaning in the built environment shapes people’s lives. It finds that form-based coding can facilitate meaningful placemaking in a way that conventional zoning frameworks do not. The coding process and outcomes of two form-based developments in the Austin area, the Mueller neighborhood and the Leander transit-oriented development, are then outlined as examples of implementation.Item The Politics of Transportation, Informal Economies, and Urban Space: Examining the Case of the Kombeiros, Recife Brazil(2004-02-14) Sweet, Cassandra
