Seeking the causes of urban ruination: an empirical research in four Portuguese cities
Publication . Brito-Henriques, Eduardo; Cruz, David
Urban ruination is an understudied feature in the life of cities. This article discusses its causes. Based on the study of four shrinking Portuguese cities (Lisbon, Barreiro, Guimarães and Vizela), and using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis as the statistical method, the structure of relationships among ruins, economic change, demographic change, social geography and the characteristics of buildings are discussed. Although the study concludes that ruination is a highly contingent phenomenon, the results show that of all the structural fac- tors, demographic ageing and the obsolescence of buildings (poor housing conditions) are the key causes of ruination in the four cities under study. Links between ruination and socio-spatial processes have also been identified.
Arruinamento e regeneração do espaço edificado na metrópole do século XXI: o caso de Lisboa
Publication . Brito-Henriques, Eduardo
Ruínas e espaços abandonados são presenças ubíquas nas cidades contem- porâneas. Talvez por serem considerados elementos indesejados e anómalos, são um tema pouco tratado nos estudos urbanos. Neste artigo, trabalha-se em vista a uma teo- ria da ruína urbana moderna. Tomando por referência o caso da área metropolitana de Lisboa (Portugal), sustenta-se que os abandonos e arruinamentos são parte integrante da mutabilidade das formas urbanas imposta pelo progresso e que a aceleração do tempo na modernidade, ao radicalizar o obsolescimento dos objetos, intensi ca esses processos. Abandonos e arruinamentos tendem a ser mais súbitos e aleatórios, irrom- pendo no tecido urbano de forma caótica e fractal, tanto em espaços centrais como nas periferias. Demonstra-se, por m, que as políticas de regeneração urbana estão a favorecer o reinvestimento nas áreas centrais, embora de forma seletiva, e que se assiste a uma tendência recente de periferização dos arruinamentos.
Ruins and terrain vagues in Lisbon: exploration of the Fábrica de gás de Matinha and proposition of alternative planning - temporary uses
Publication . Caillault, Léa Pauline; Soares, Ana Luísa; Cavaco, Cristina Gomes
This thesis is talking about the abandoned and derelicts areas in Lisbon, their importance and place in the urban fabric and everyday life of inhabitants. Understand their mechanism of formation, with the global and national point of view of Portugal and then with the particular context of Lisbon. These specific spaces are already in the center of the attention of the collective NoVOID, working in four cities through Portugal to reveal the phenomenon and think about potential future with a multidisciplinary vision.
Among all those derelicts, industrial sites have historic and identity characteristics which are strong elements in the urban landscape. They are asking for a particular attention for urban rehabilitation, find the right balance between historic protection and future needs. After an analysis which reveal the potentials of the old Gas Industry in Matinha, a reflection about how to deal with this spatial and temporal in-between is made. To avoid the stage of abandonment and unused before the construction of the important rehabilitation project included in Plano de Pormenor de Matinha, which will take place in the next decade, a research of alternative planning is proposed.
What is temporary uses and how it can change the vision and use of the space as it is nowadays, with the will to impulse alternative activities or uses with low cost and acupuncture mentality is the chosen alternative in this work
