Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics, Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories
Maybe the Global Village metaphor has never been more accurate than it is today, where societies join forces in the fight against the COVID 19 pandemic, in a global coordinated effort, possibly never tested before in the known history of Humankind. Although we are sure that in the past some other shared demands have united the different peoples of the world, this has never been so strongly necessary, mainly in what the global scientific community is concerned. This is a fight for the survival of a society. However, we should not lose sight of what we are fighting for. We fight together for people. Not just for the abstract value of Human life, but for life in society as a whole, including it...

REINVENTING THE CITY
Some colleagues from the Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil – IAB (Brazilian Institute of Architects) and I spent some years organizing the 27th World Congress of Architects, initially planned to be held in July 2020 in Rio de Janeiro. However, the pandemic caught us along the way and we had to postpone the event until 2021. From March to July 2021, debates, conferences, lectures, exhibitions, films, and many other activities – almost all of them online – were carried out with hundreds of leading professionals and almost 100,000 participants from 195 countries. With such a diversity of prominent names, as we had intended, a unifying idea emerged: we are all together and it is up to us t...
Design for Climate Adaptation
The book provides new perspectives from leading researchers accentuating and examining the central role of the built environment in conceiving and implementing multifaceted solutions for the complex challenges of climate change, revealing critical potentials for architecture and design to contribute in more informed and long-term ways to the urgent transition of our society. The book offers a compilation of peer-reviewed papers that uniquely connects knowledge broadly across practice and academia, from the newest technologies and methods to indigenous knowledge, community engagement, techniques for ecosystem regeneration, nature-based solutions, and more. The book is part of a series of six ...
Política pública, rede social e território
Este livro é o resultado da pesquisa de diferentes laboratórios dedicados ao exame das políticas públicas no contexto de uma sociedade informatizada e globalizada, e de uma percepção que reconhece o campo das políticas públicas por novas transversalidades disciplinares e institucionais. Esse é o seu desígnio – desenhar a complexidade das relações que conformam o campo e definem formas alternativas para pensar a ação de diferentes atores associados e dedicados à concepção e implementação de políticas públicas.
Modernização na metrópole
Na metrópole contemporânea, o legado de uma modernidade inacabada convive com persistências de modelos pré-industriais, e com demandas derivadas da condição pós-moderna, imposta em nível global. Neste livro, estudando o caso das intervenções urbanas em São Paulo – comparadas com outras metrópoles sul-americanas, Rio de Janeiro e Buenos Aires – são enfocados planos, propostas, programas, projetos e operações urbanas, desde 1890 até o século XXI: colocando em jogo a construção de perfis metropolitanos; com base no conceito de modernização urbana, no qual a modernidade é sempre incompleta, inacabada, insuficiente e desigual. Esta obra é fruto do desenvolvimento de vários projetos de pesquisa interinstitucional, liderados pelo autor, Prof. Candido Malta Campos, integrando uma equipe de pesquisadores docentes e discentes inserida em grupo de pesquisa da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, em São Paulo, Brasil.
Urban Power
Why some cities are more effective than others at reducing inequalities in the built environment For the first time in history, most people live in cities. One in seven are living in slums, the most excluded parts of cities, in which the basics of urban life—including adequate housing, accessible sanitation, and reliable transportation—are largely unavailable. Why are some cities more successful than others in reducing inequalities in the built environment? In Urban Power, Benjamin Bradlow explores this question, examining the effectiveness of urban governance in two “megacities” in young democracies: São Paulo, Brazil, and Johannesburg, South Africa. Both cities came out of periods...
