City design: what went wrong at Milton Keynes?
No full textPractitioners need evaluations of why the intentions in plans fail in implementation. This paper seeks to identify and explain how the plans for neighbourhood layout in Milton Keynes so comprehensively failed in the process of realization. The 1970 plan should have generated dense development along urban main streets, lined with shops, services, bus stops and turnings. In the city as built, densities are lowest along the main roads; shops, services and bus stops are ensconced within residential and other blocks where they work badly; traffic is much faster; buses struggle to operate viably; and social mix objectives have probably been sacrificed. This failure is attributed to the Corporation's mistakes in traffic planning, to short-sighted private housebuilders, to rigid and unscientific DoE density controls and to slack thinking, drafting and drawing by the initial planning team, of which the author was a member. Suggestions are made for avoiding such disaster
MIGRAÇÕES POLÍTICAS NAS NARRATIVAS DE MILTON HATOUM E GODOFREDO DE OLIVEIRA NETO
No full textIn this article, the aim is to focus on two Brazilian authors who have dealt with the theme of political migrations in their work: Milton Hatoum and Godofredo de Oliveira Neto. As we will see, Hatoum, principally in his Amazon novels, focuses on the lives of Arab immigrants in the Amazon region, and in A noite da espera, the first novel in his most recent trilogy, deals with the question of migration for political reasons, a subject he had centred on in a previously published short story. Migration for political reasons is also the theme of another novel that will be examined here, Amores exilados (Exiled Loves), by Godofredo de Oliveira Neto.Neste nosso trabalho, pretendemos enfocar dois autores brasileiros que trataram da questão das migrações políticas: Milton Hatoum e Godofredo de Oliveira Neto. Como veremos, Hatoum, principalmente em seus romances amazônicos, enfocou a vida de imigrantes árabes na Amazônia, e recentemente aponta, em A noite da espera, primeiro romance de sua mais recente trilogia, para a questão da migração por razões políticas, de que já havia tratado em um conto publicado anteriormente. A migração por razões políticas é também o tema do outro romance de que trataremos aqui, Amores exilados, de Godofredo de Oliveira Neto
