Harmonization of policies and training systems in Europe for urban development – The Experience of LUDA Project

The work developed in LUDA’s project has clearly showed that, in a European economic and cultural diversified frame, crossed by recent and not so recent historical challenging processes, the issues of the urban affairs certainly have different layouts, but, as a matter of fact, we can assume that in their essence they are common to all regions. Identifying a set of common problems is not difficult: the Luda’s; the disadjustment between people and goods mobility, the difficult articulation between space and development sustainability the fragile features of the urban space in its complexity, the responsible social management of current migrations etc.

A Morfologia do Porto Industrial no Processo de Regeneração Urbana

O aterro portuário transformou a relação da cidade de Lisboa com o Rio Tejo. Para compreender o processo de restabelecimento da relação da cidade ao rio, procuramos conhecer a alteração morfológica do terreno. Na frente ribeirinha de Lisboa surge cada vez mais a necessidade de criar espaços abertos de utilização pública e que façam a ligação entre diferentes proprietários da cidade. A barreira física constituída pela linha ferroviária e pela avenida com grande tráfego viário é um grande desafio a qualquer proposta para a zona. Nesta comunicação apresentamos uma proposta que faz a ligação entre terrenos livres espectantes do porto de Lisboa e a própria cidade. O edifício “ponte” projectado é híbrido porque permite uma utilização tanto de jardim como de edifício, dando continuidade à organicidade morfológica que caracteriza o lugar. A extensão do jardim até ao rio, sobre um edifício que liga o museu ao terminal de cruzeiros, permite centrar o debate numa solução. Este processo contraria a lógica do PDM e alerta para a incapacidade dos mecanismos actuais de planeamento resolverem o problema da cidade junto ao porto industrial.
