Abstract(s)
Este trabalho tem origem na retomada do Plano de Urbanização de Chelas de 1965. A necessidade de expansão da cidade de Lisboa para o Oriente com o intuito de abrigar os imigrantes e operários em busca de trabalhos nas indústrias da Capital, promoveu uma alteração da paisagem do Vale de Chelas que foi condicionada pela necessidade de novas moradias e pelos fenômenos sociais e políticos da época. Esta junção de fatores em um território de topografia complexa produziu uma malha urbana fragmentada, sobre a qual os conjuntos habitacionais se estabeleceram em parcelas insularisadas.
A desconexão e falta de espaços públicos qualificados nos grandes vazios entre estas Ilhas de Chelas, tem um impacto no desenvolvimento da vida urbana desta população. Devido a fragmentação, um sentimento de comunidade foi instalado nos habitantes de cada uma das zonas ilhadas, este fenômeno se manifesta no estabelecimento de barreiras sociais que atravessam as relações entre as vizinhanças de Chelas. Apesar deste contexto, existe uma produção cultural abundante que está intrinsecamente ligada à vida cotidiana nos bairros e expressa uma capacidade de identificação da população com o seu território.
O Projeto final de Mestrado aqui desenvolvido, pretende levantar um mapeamento dos principais locais relevantes para a manutenção desta expressão cultural identitária, com o intuito de encontrar soluções que promovam uma reconexão da malha urbana do Vale a partir da observação da ocupação cultural já estabelecida em Chelas.
Pretende-se, então, ao promover um desenho urbano mais adaptado às escalas e conexões humanas, evidenciar o potencial de estadia em uma zona atualmente marginalizada, mas que oferece todas as características geográficas, ecológicas e sociais para contribuir com uma expansão sustentável da Cidade.
A reconexão do Vale de Chelas aqui prevista, portanto, diz respeito não somente ao arquipélago interno, mas também a uma ligação desta periferia com o centro da cidade, qualificando Chelas como uma outra centralidade de Lisboa a partir do protagonismo da população local.
This work has its origins in the 1965 Chelas Urbanization Plan. The need to expand the city of Lisbon to the east in order to house immigrants and workers looking for jobs in the capital’s industries led to a change in the landscape of the Chelas Valley, which was conditioned by the need for new housing and the social and political phenomena of the time. This combination of factors in a territory with a complex topography produced a fragmented urban fabric, on which the housing estates were established in isolated plots. The disconnection and lack of qualified public spaces in the large voids between these Chelas Islands has an impact on the development of the urban life of this population. As a result of the fragmentation, a sense of community has been installed in the inhabitants of each of the island areas. This phenomenon manifests itself in the establishment of social barriers that cross the relationships between the neighborhoods of Chelas. Despite this context, there is an abundance of cultural production that is intrinsically linked to daily life in the neighborhoods and expresses the population’s ability to identify with their territory. The final Master’s project developed here aims to map the main sites relevant to the maintenance of this cultural expression of identity, in order to find solutions that promote a reconnection of the Valley’s urban fabric based on the observation of the cultural occupation already established in Chelas. By promoting an urban design that is more adapted to human scales and connections, the aim is to highlight the potential for staying in an area that is currently marginalized, but which offers all the geographical, ecological and social characteristics to contribute to a sustainable expansion of the City. The reconnection of the Chelas Valley envisioned here, therefore, concerns not only the internal archipelago, but also a link between this periphery and the city center, qualifying Chelas as another centrality of Lisbon based on the protagonism of the local population.
