ReconnACT Blumenthal to the water
No full textCity on water : 6th AESOP European Urban Summer School 2015, BremenThe concept “ReconnACT Blumenthal to the water” is made for a particular area in the north of Bremen, Blumenthal, which is currently in a transition phase from an industrial to a post- industrial urban district. In line with the general theme of the summer school, “City on Water”, making connections between the water and the city is central to this concept. Blumenthal’s proximity to the river ‘Weser’ is considered as a main chance. However, Blumenthal is not an area where usual waterfront developments, i.e. creating space for retail and rather luxury housing as can be seen in Hamburg, Barcelona, London and elsewhere, would work. Given the magnitude of social problems in Blumenthal, we aimed at creating a socially acceptable waterfront. Our concept therefore does not only stress physical connections with the water, but also social connections, which may pave the ground for revitalization and social integration in the future

The deconstruction of irregularity and the construction of legitimacy
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThe construction of Brazilian land irregularity coincides with the poor assimilation of private property category by Brazilian law (FONSECA, 2005, p. 110). This has been the case not only as a consequence of the inobservance of the formal model of the land, as defined by Brazilian law in the mid-nineteenth century, with its liberal universal claims, but also as a result of the proposals for the ordering of use, possibilities of land division and the construction of buildings.
In order to ensure the regular occupation category, among others, two linked great founding myths were sought to legitimize its conception. The first being related to the formalities recognized by the State, and the second concerning the meaning of urban order.
In the first case, the legitimacy of the regularity consists of a set of procedures recognized by a private entity with powers analogous to those of the State, that assumes the status of "truth, security and certainty" (GEDIEL, 2009, p. 351) to the individual property owner, as a result of its characterization stated by public faith. From then on, the public records begin stating the individual’s right of appropriation from their lecture method, which distinguishes between fact and norm. However, once they assume the understanding that Brazil is a country of holders, they tend to dissipate that validity appropriation must necessarily coincide with a property title.publishedVersio
Innovations in data literacy in a globalizing world
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThe way data is collected, communicated and utilized is constantly changing. Collection occurs across multiple domains in informal and formal ways; communication targets various levels of stakeholders in the decision-making process; and data is increasingly open, social and over-abundant, making it imperative that consumers understand the dimensions and consequences of available information. With an increasing onus on the consumers of data in the decision-making process, it is important that data is communicated to support data literacy across a diverse set of stakeholders. Thus, planners play a critical role, given that urban environment harbor and produce substantial data sets. There is a need for planning curricula to adapt to this data revolution in ways that extend beyond innovative data collection techniques to consider the life-cycle of data, from collection to dissemination to action. This includes skills that span research methods, community engagement, and data visualization. Historically in planning, community engagement strategies have been a particular research method central to soliciting civic participation.1 And while design communication is critical to the pedagogy of traditional design disciplines,2 it is not ubiquitous across planning curricula. This paper links the ways by which community-based data is collected with the way it is visualized, so that visualization and communication are central to the research design and decision-making processes that derive from the data.publishedVersio
The effectiveness of Water Sources Restoration and Protection Law according to municipal management in metropolitan
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southIn Sao Paulo, the State Law for the Water Source Protection (LPM) nº 898/1975, followed by Law nº 1,172/1976, set out the watersheds that should be protected to ensure the production of water. The context for this legislation's formulation was one of intense population growth in the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo (RMSP), which increased the demand for water and pollution input in dams due to non-full sewage treatment. With the advance of metropolitan horizontal and population growth, the main goal of LPM was to protect water sources and supply dams water by controlling the use and occupation of land located in the watersheds, through the establishment of urban parameters that were more restrictive the nearer they were from the dams. Thus, the aim was controlling population and building density in the occupation in the watersheds. At the same time, there were the opening of irregular settlements and occupations by slums, which were more intense from the late 80s to the 90s at Guarapiranga and Billings watersheds, as a result of insufficient housing provision by the State, economic crisis, unemployment increase and family income more compromised with the rent (whether in tenements or slums). This scenario made the popular allotment an alternative to access to housing. In this way, the law intended to implement an abstract model over a real dynamics of land occupation.publishedVersio
Urban planning in the context of social conflicts: autonomous initiatives in contemporary Brazil
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southThe development of alternative projects, utilizing technical language and instruments, has been a resource used by urban social movements in its struggle for the city at least since the 1960’s. Through counter proposals, organized groups contest real estate projects and urban interventions that threat poor families of displacement. In the Brazil of the 21st century, social conflicts triggered by urban interventions related to mega sports events, are giving rise to autonomous organizations. From outside of the government, and questioning it’s practices, they elaborate alternative proposals.
This paper intends to discuss surveyed cases of autonomous planning practices in the context of social conflicts, in contemporary Brazil, in dialogue with the academic literature on progressive, radical, insurgent and alternative planning experiences in central countries (or the Global North)
Community planning arises as a strategy to face real estate and official urban renewal projects, which threatened poor communities of displacement, in context of the civil rights movement in the United States (ANGOTTI, 2008). Also from North America, and as result of community planning experiences, radical planning emerges in association with social transformation claims (FRIEDMANN, 1987). Recently, in the 1990’s and 2000’s, reflections on insurgent and progressive planning bring to the present such discussions (SANDERCOCK, 1998; MIRAFTAB, 2009; BEARD, 2003).
Since the 1970’s in Brazil, technical advisory offices have supported urban social movements in the development of social housing projects, to face economic and political powers in their struggle for the right to the city (BONDUKI, 2011; USINA, 2008).publishedVersio
Socio-spatial segregation in Antofagasta, Northern Chile: the impacts of mining capital
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southFew countries have been left unaffected by global mining boom. While the direct impacts of large scale mining are felt most strongly in regional areas where mines are directly located, the residual effects of mining are observed in rural and urban landscapes located further afield. In less-developed economies, mining has been one of the major drivers of economic growth and of urban development. Stimulated by the arrival of 'Big Mining', and the influx of capital that comes with it , new sources of development have appeared, particularly through rapid urbanization, the focus of this study (Humphreys & Bebbington 2012). Despite these outcomes, it has been widely acknowledged that mining not only provokes environmental struggles and problems in host regions but it also exacerbates social and economic disparities, transforming urban areas where money and actors circulate. These transformations are not only socio-economic in nature, as they also affect different physical environments and political systems.publishedVersio
Planning as a field in Brazil and South Africa: some preliminary findings and lessons for planning education
No full textProceedings of the IV World Planning Schools Congress, July 3-8th, 2016 : Global crisis, planning and challenges to spatial justice in the north and in the southUrban and Regional Planning education In Brazil and South Africa has developed in different ways both in content and in structure. A simplistic distinction made between urbanismo and town planning by Piccinato (1987) is that “Town planning is Anglo-Saxon, urbanism is Latin”. This assumes that both Brazil and South Africa have, in one form or another, been influenced by their particular spatial, sociohistorical contexts. These observations point to the possibility that a range of different forces or ‘struggles’ have culminated in these different approaches to the ‘field’ of planning and the current state of Planning Curricula. A Bourdieusian theoretical concept of ‘fields’, where fields are seen as arenas in which ‘actors and institutions struggle for something they have in common’ (Edman 2001), provides a useful framework in which to begin to interrogate what different ‘arenas, axis, actors and institutional struggles’ have taken place in order to produce these variations or similarities between Brazilian and South African approaches to planning and planning curricula in what may be considered peculiar circumstances. By extending this idea further the question that may be posed is ‘how, why and in what forms has urban and regional planning education and the bodies or ‘corps’ of people practicing planning been constituted in South Africa and Brazil in the period 1960 to 2012?’ In other words, what are the set of beliefs or rules which have been established as a result of ‘struggles’, what were these ‘struggles’ and what social, political, historical and economic forces framed the field of planning in these two different contexts.publishedVersio
