Resumo(s)
Public space in cities is in crisis. The symbolic elements constructed in public spaces in
the past no longer serve to represent the flows circulating through them. According to the Dialogue
Collective Public Space: New Perspectives, organized by the Universal Forum of Cultures,
Barcelona 2004, the progressive weakening of public space has two underlying causes: the
weakening of the political dimension of the city and the fact that the very notion of shared urban
life is going through a deep crisis. We need a profound change in cities and local management.
This change should reorient the thinking of city planners and political representatives, focusing
on the city as a place of exchange that embraces new forms of institutional interaction and
unconstrained relationships between citizens. Public urban space has a key role to play in the
development and integration of cities. This paper presents the experience of some projects,
named Luzboa, where art (culture and the creative arts) and light (science and technology) were
used to promote urban development and to revitalize public space. Luzboa was a pioneer project
in Portugal, built at the intersection between economic (science and technology innovation) and
socio-cultural trends (culture and arts), with the support of public and private capital. Luzboa
was 2 weeks of light-art animation in Lisbon’s streets, conferences and workshops. More than 30
works brought live experience of the night to citizens and visitors in the old part of the city. In
this paper, under inspection are: the new agendas for urban development; the reorientation of
urban planning to focus on developing an active, cultural city, rather than simply highlighting
historical heritage; the question of finance for innovation and creative activity; the management
of knowledge and the role of various intermediaries.
