Especial Les Rambles

Since we routinely put questions forward for discussion that involve urban planning in Barcelona, let's begin with one that might seem too obvious: What to do about its main street? We solicited the views of 13 professional architects and geographers who have some connection to the Rambla, either because they live or work nearby or once did professionals, in other words, who are intimately familiar with it. The range of their responses surprised us. Issues like making the Rambla car-free or the street's physical design, recurring themes in recent years, here take a back seat. Instead, questions about underlying urban structures and street-level uses come up repeatedly

Bibliometric forms of the international investigation in the urban history. (1973 - 2010)

The objective of this document is to identify the behavior of the academic international production in urban history, from the bibliographical records index-linked in Scopus between 1973 and 2010. We use bibliometric indicators from SCImago Group, applying them to the production in the field of arts and humanities. Afterward, we corroborate the results obtained with the indicators calculated exclusively for 1.098 records of urban history. A geographical concentration is observed in the mechanisms of diffusion, authors and institutional affiliation. Likewise, we identify that over 50% of the works published between 1973 and 2010 have not been used by other authors to create new knowledge.

Morfologia, transformação e co-presença em centros urbanos : o caso do centro do Rio de Janeiro / RJ

O presente trabalho é um estudo da evolução da configuração espacial do Centro da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, feita a partir da metodologia da sintaxe espacial. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar, ao longo de quatro séculos (XVII, XVIII, XIX e XX), as transformações morfológicas que ocorreram na estrutura urbana da área central de uma das cidades do Brasil que viveu mais intensamente as mudanças políticas e econômicas que ocorreram na formação nacional; e avaliar, no presente, em que medida as expectativas de co-presença, o movimento de pedestres e a dispersão de usos econômicos do solo, em 4 frações representativas do Centro (morro de Conceição, Lapa, Central do Brasil e centro de negócios) avaliadas empiricamente, estão correlacionadas com as medidas sintáticas obtidas a partir da descrição de seus padrões espaciais. O foco da descrição e das correlações, é discutir o processo de formação e consolidação da centralidade urbana, e a dinâmica de apropriação social do espaço, vinculada às expectativas das possibilidades e tipos de encontros entre as diferentes categorias sociais, que reconhecem ali, o centro simbólico e funcional de suas vidas social e espacial.

A nação faz cem anos: o centenário da independência no Rio de Janeiro

Dialóga com seu tempo, fala de um lugar, ocupa um espaço, ou seja, é historicamente datado. Menos preocupados com influências ou heranças, compartilhamos com a “geração de 22” a utopia da inserção do Brasil na modernidade.

Caminhos do lembrar: a construção e os usos políticos da memória no morro do Borel

O objetivo do presente trabalho é elaborar uma reflexão sobre os processos de construção e os usos políticos da memória na favela do Borel. Para o alcance dessa finalidade, serão analisados o livro “As lutas do povo do Borel”, de autoria de Manoel Gomes, ex-morador local e ex-militante comunista, já falecido, e o projeto Condutores de Memória, realizado por moradoras das favelas do Borel e da Casa Branca em parceria com a Agenda Social Rio. Desse modo, pretende-se pensar as características da articulação de diferentes atores na elaboração de suportes de memória de moradores de favelas, a partir do caso do Borel, bem como a forma como diferentes contextos históricos podem interferir na instrumentalização da memória como forma de reivindicação política.

Povoações, freguesias e vilas na Paraíba Colonial: Pombal e Sousa, 1697-1800

The towns presently named Pombal and Sousa, located in the hinterland of the State of Paraíba, Brazil, still keep vestiges of the colonization process they went through along the 18th and 19th centuries, when they both emerged as settlement nuclei in the extreme West of the then captaincy of Paraíba and attained the status of freguesia and vila in a later period. This research aims to comprehend the process of urban formation and development of the colonial urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa as they became povoados (hamlets), freguesias (parishes) and vilas (small urban communities with a local government), according to territorial expansion policies implemented by the Portuguese government from 1697 to 1800. The choice of the two urban settlements for this survey lies in the fact that they were part of the great conquest and colonization program undertaken by the Portuguese Crown. Another aspect that was considered was the fact that those towns are the oldest urban nuclei of Paraíba s hinterland. They came into being as early as in the times of the colony, thus producing a favorable environment to the study of the changes that occurred in the captaincy s hinterland scenery resulting from the process of formation and development of the colonial urban space. Three fundamental categories of analysis were defined since they have a direct bearing upon the urban configuration of the two colonization nuclei: povoado, freguesia and vila. The three of them are related to civil and ecclesiastic jurisdictions. Field, documentation and bibliography surveys were undertaken in order to develop the study. They allowed for the finding of vestiges of the old, colonial urban structures and for the development of theoretical analysis based on present-day studies of issues relating to the colonial urban history. The study purposes were, therefore, to try to understand how the old urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa fit in the territorial expansion policies undertaken by the Portuguese government; to relate the process of urban formation and development of such nuclei with the categories of analysis povoação-freguesia-vila by discussing the relations and influences they exert over one another and their territory, as well as to unveil, as much as possible, the configuration the urban spaces that were shaped along the 18th century

Henrique Novaes: técnica, território e cidade em uma trajetória profissional: Brasil, primeira metade do século XX

The career of civil engineer Henrique de Novaes, a remarkable figure in the academic, technical and political fields, demonstrates its extensive and relevant work across Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century. It covered from the design of water supply and sewage works, road and rail transport networks, works against drought in the Northeast, hydroelectric and harbor facilities to the urbanization planning and architectural projects, which displays a systematic and multiple production. City and territory conformed to his fields of verification, practical and above all, transformation. The search for understanding of the inclusion of a social actor in this process thus contributes to the specific analysis of the doings of Henrique de Novaes, who graduated at Polytechnic School of Rio de Janeiro in 1906. From a polymorphic activity in different scales, one tries to figure how, through academic education or professional practice, urban history in Brazil can be told or built. The introduction of technological innovations matched the purposes of planning and urban sprawl, as well as met the specifications of regulation and institutionalization of public infrastructure services at the time. The overall plans proposed by the engineer thought of the city as a whole, interconnected to the structural networks. At the same time, the knowledge of a larger physical scale the territory bounces back in the urban in a relationship of reciprocity and completeness. The objective research, therefore, tries to understand the roles played by Henrique de Novaes s works and academic education in the accomplishment of systematic modernization of Brazilian urban space and territory, recovering a little known historical figure by current historiography. It is proposed, as methodological axis, that the study of this professional career configures itself as an essential element for understanding the idea of progress embodied in the technical studies and proposals for improvements and sanitation nationwide in the first half of the twentieth century . The primary sources for the construction of this analysis were technical articles in journals of the period ( Clube de Engenharia , Viação e Revista Brasileira de Engenharia ), and technical reports, government messages, newspaper articles published at the time, autobiographical reports and the engineer s verbal communications with relatives. The work is structured in three chapters: "Biographical traces, academic education and 'technical and political' activities" illustrates the initiation into the technical, public and political environment; Chapter 2, "Technique and territory" outlines his network understanding through sanitation and transport services; Chapter 3 "Technique and City" describes the influence of polytechnics knowledge on the propositions of modernization of cities; Finally, "Final Thoughts: An Evaluation," presents an overview of the affiliations and practice of an engineer in the different scales, and its contribution to the modernization of Brazilian urban and territorial space

O ouro branco abre caminho: o algodão e a modernização do espaço urbano da Cidade da Parahyba (1850-1924)

The present research deals with the modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba2, between 1850 and 1924, and its relation with the cotton economy, which represented the main source of wealth accumulation for both the private and the public sectors throughout the First Republic. This study on urban history was developed by focusing on the understanding of the city s spatial formation, and despite its emphasis on the economic aspects involved, other factors that also contribute to the development of the social life were not put aside. The modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba was also analyzed during the period established for the study according to a chronological and thematic approach that established comparisons with the financial situation of the State, whenever this was necessary, with special attention to the contribution of the cotton economy to the State´s revenues. It was possible to detect a lack of financial help and loans from the federal and municipal administrations for finishing several public works already underway in the capital, since the federal funds allocated to the State of Parahyba do Norte were rather employed in emergency works against droughts and in agricultural development. One can then conclude that the financial resources required for the urban interventions were withdrawn from the State s treasury itself, resources that were collected mainly from activities such as cotton exportation and cotton trading. Another factor shows the interdependence between the urban remodeling and the cotton economy: during the years marked by great droughts or by hard plagues on the cotton plantations, cotton production decreased, as well as the State s finances. The first measures taken by the State s administrators were to halt all projects of urban remodeling in progress in the Cidade da Parahyba, which was, clearly, the most privileged city by the State s presidents during the period analyzed. 2 The city of João Pessoa was named Cidade da Parahyba, a designation that remained until September 1930, when it received its present-day name in order to pay homage to the president of the State, João Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, murdered in the city of Recife in August of that same year. At that time, the State of Paraíba was known as Parahyba do Norte. Since this work is limited to a period of time comprised within the First Republic, the names employed respect the terms used in those days

Mercado de São Brás e seu entorno: tramas e sentidos de um lugar

Esta dissertação pretende analisar a constituição da história urbana do entorno edificado do Mercado de São Brás, em Belém do Pará, no período de 1950 a 1970, uma construção eclética que remonta ao final do ciclo da borracha na Amazônia e da gestão do Intendente Antonio Lemos. O mercado é um monumento pertencente ao acervo patrimonial do Estado e se encontra em atividade, nos dias atuais. A partir da noção de trama urbana, buscou-se estabelecer relações entre os fatos históricos e arquitetônicos, no sentido de investigar como se processaram ao longo do tempo, resultando num espaço onde a arquitetura contribui para o desenvolvimento das relações sociais e comerciais. Partindo da hipótese de que a proximidade geográfica e a importância econômica de dois equipamentos urbanos, o Mercado de São Brás e a Estação de Ferro Belém-Bragança gerou uma dinâmica que atraiu outras arquiteturas, foi investigada a influência das políticas públicas de modernização e progresso, com reflexos para o surgimento do entorno edificado e relações tipológicas com o mercado. Utilizando a metodologia de estudo de caso com estratégias combinadas entre história interpretativo-qualitativa, o trabalho busca mostrar que as funções intrínsecas às construções cumpriram seu papel e que eventos realizados em seus espaços produziram fenômenos perceptivos no lugar existencial. O mercado público e seu entorno condensam práticas sociais que aliadas a estes fenômenos asseguram sua permanência na cidade, face ao contexto da sociedade contemporânea.
