Public Spaces for Water
This illustrated notebook highlights the need for a change of paradigm in current flood management practices, one that acknowledges the wide-ranging and interdisciplinary benefits brought by public space design. Reassessing and improving established flood management methods, public spaces are faced with a new and enhanced role as mediators of flood adaptation able to integrate infrastructure and communities together in the management of flood water as an ultimate resource for urban resilience. The book specifically introduces a path towards a new perspective on flood adaptation through public space design, stressing the importance of local, bottom up, approaches. Deriving from a solution-dir...
Towards a Metropolitan Public Space Network
This book explores the hypothesis that public space – if conceptualised, imagined, and shaped at the metropolitan scale, through innovative territorial design approaches – offers the possibility to interconnect and integrate various systems in search for synergic responses to emerging societal challenges that impact large, urbanised landscapes. The book offers a multidimensional and multi-geographic framework to discuss the role of public space on contemporary metropolitan territories, as part of MetroPublicNet - Building the foundations of a Metropolitan Public Space Network to support the robust, low-carbon and cohesive city: Projects, lessons, and prospects in Lisbon research project....

Egressos do Cativeiro
A partir do estudo da micro-história, para compreender o todo, o autor nos apresenta o caso dos escravos alforriados na região da cidade de Porto Feliz (SP), entre o fim do século XVIII e meados do século XIX, quando pardos, negros libertos e seus descendentes precisavam criar relações sociais para que pudessem realmente se sentir inseridos e serem inseridos na sociedade da época. Dentro da ordem escravista brasileira, por vezes é difícil imaginar que os libertos, seus descendentes e também os pardos pudessem ter algum papel de proeminência. Alguns até conseguiram, mas nem sempre podemos dizer que isso era fato corrente. A maioria dos libertos perdeu-se pelo caminho.
