The City

<p class="Abstract"><em>Gijón, also known as Xixón, is an important city that rivals Oviedo, the historical capital of the Autonomous Region and Principality of Asturias (Spain), in historical demographic and economic terms. It has traditionally been a port and, more recently, an industrial city, which experienced very rapid population growth and with little planning. After the industrial crisis of the 80s, the city wanted to become a tourist location more than an industrial harbor. Both its privileged location and the historical urban heritage that still remain are corner stones to make this change possible. However, the late and strict legislation (improvised to protect the last remains of a previously uncontrolled development) impeded a necessary urban re-design in order to shelter the new touristic supplies. This paper proposes some urban solutions to selectively modify the catalogue according with the cultural and touristic potentials of the city. These solutions were agreed by the working group set up by Gijón City Council and ERDU (Estudio de Renovación y Desarrollos Urbanos -Urban Renovation and Development Studio).</em></p><em><em><br /></em></em>

The Relationship

ABSTRACT:This article examines the relationship between the processes of urban renovation in European capitals and the internationalization of musical theatre productions, using the example of theatres constructed in Paris and Rome at the end of the nineteenth century. Due to the limited availability of governmental and municipal funding, the more popular theatres in both capitals came to provide an important space for musical productions on an avant-garde level, with international repertoires and casts.

Este trabalho explora algumas matrizes do pensamento social brasileiro em sua abordagem da formação do espaço urbano no país, em particular no que concerne às relações raciais, étnicas e culturais nas cidades. Parte da hipótese de que, a partir dos anos 20, o discurso urbanístico encontra na eugenia e no regionalismo bases confiáveis ao realinhamento nacionalista de sua intervenção técnica no espaço e na cultura de cidades complexamente divididas. Tendo em vista a problemática contemporânea das renovações urbanas, examina as questões de segregação social, distribuição no espaço e identificação cultural de grupos étnicos, nacionais e regionais em estudos e trechos de estudos sobre cidades de Oliveira Vianna, Gilberto Freyre, José Mariano Filho, Donald Pierson e Samuel Lowrie. Palavras-chave: urbanismo; cidade; nação; pensamento social brasileiro; relações raciais; etnicidade; eugenia; culturalismo; regionalismo. "Urbanism and its alter: race, culture and the city in Brazil (1920-1945)" Abstract: This paper deals with some important sources of the social thought in Brazil as they refer to the formation of the urban space in the country, particularly in respect to racial, ethnic, and cultural relations in the city. It raises the hypothesis that the urbanistic discourse, from the 1920s onwards, finds in eugenics and regionalism some reliable basis for the nationalistic realignment of its technical intervention in complexly divided urban spaces and cultures. Having in mind the contemporary question of urban renovation, it specially examines matters of social segregation, spatial distribution and cultural identification of ethnic, national and regional groups in some writings of Oliveira Vianna, Gilberto Freyre, José Mariano Filho, Donald Pierson and Samuel Lowrie. Keywords: urbanism; city; nation; Brazilian social thought; racial relationships; ethnicity; eugenics; culturalism; regionalism.

The Impact

  The High Line, an abandoned elevated railway structure on Lower Manhattan's West-side, converted into the public park is among the most innovative urban renovation projects. The meatpacking district with industrial taste, transformed to one of the most fashionable areas in New York would not be realized without the impact of this unique Urban Park, the high Line. The story of how it came to be is a remarkable one: two young citizens with no prior experience in planning and development collaborated with their neighbors, elected officials, artists, local business owners, and leaders of burgeoning movements in horticulture and landscape architecture to create a park celebrated worldwide as a model for creatively designed, socially vibrant, ecologically sound public space. 5 millions of visitors are counted annually. The research will clarify the process of the High Line’s execution, its mechanism of urban transform, and impact to the neighborhood chronologically, and will discuss and theorize this urban regeneration as an outcome of catalytic effect of Urban Green Space.

Esse artigo discute o papel da cultura nos atuais projetos de renovação urbana, analisando o uso contemporâneo dos novos museus na tentativa de promover uma imagem positiva para as cidades. Trata-se de estudar o papel dos equipamentos culturais no desenvolvimento urbano, visando uma elevação geral no prestígio e no capital simbólico das cidades, bem como na auto-estima e no sentimento de pertencimento da população local. Para tal, analisaremos um dos casos mais paradigmáticos em que o museu se torna símbolo, “marca registrada” da cidade em que ele foi construído: o Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, RJ. Assim, o estudo está voltado para os efeitos do MAC sobre a cidade de Niterói, abordando a relação entre urbanismo e cultura.Palavras-chave: planejamento urbano; marketing de cidades; produção de imagens; políticas culturais; novos museus. The Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói, RJ, Brazil: A Promotion Strategy of the City ImageAbstract: This article proposes the discussion about the role of culture in the late urban renovation projects, analyzing the contemporary use of new museums in the attempt to promote a positive image to the cities.
