Throughout history, cities have incorporated into their urban context a significant influence of migratory currents. Among Brazilian cities, Rio best reflected racial and cultural miscegenation in welcoming foreign migrants from other states in search of work. The lack of working-class resources led her to occupy hills, river banks, and other vacant areas of the city to raise her dwelling. Living in communities without urbanization and basic sanitation reveals the contempt of the public power towards the poorest sections of the population. This article aims to reflect on this and other issues related to urban development in Rio to level the quality of life in the city.

Chapter 4 discusses Mayor Frank Jordan’s (1992–1995) revanchist Matrix Quality of Life Program, which sought to enforce a broken-windows policing system in San Francisco. The impact of the policy was felt largely by the visible homeless in downtown San Francisco, who were regularly harassed and arrested by the police and forced out of the city. Because quality-of-life policing desires to sanitize the public space of disruptive and asocial behaviour, the public meals of Food Not Bombs near City Hall resisted the city’s attempt to criminalize homelessness. This chapter argues that the city attempted to construct the homeless as anti-citizens and exclude them from the political and physical spaces of the city.

The purpose of this article is to assess the quality of life of the residents of a degraded satellite area of a city. It is considered in the context of urban development policy – as the result of decisions and as a challenge for long-term development. The research was based on a case study, which is the district of Opole referred to as Metalchem. It is characterized by an isolated location in the city structure as well as economic transformations. The study was based primarily on an analysis of source materials and results of a survey. The results show that the assessment of the quality of life is inconsistent. The living conditions are good, but satisfactory fulfilment of social needs is lacking. The residents of the studied area feel that their quality of life is lower than that of other residents of the city. This situation is the result of three main factors: insufficient access to public services, an ingrained negative image of the quarter, and a lack of coherence and continuity of the policy regarding this area. Research shows that the quality of life of the residents of degraded and satellite districts depends on the management and investments in the area, on the area’s perceived status within the city, but primarily on a consistent implementation of spatial and economic policies. Ensuring cohesion and integration between the satellite districts and the city center as well as other districts is also important.

"The Five-Minute-Walk Distance Concept, Case Study: City of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. This term, also known as the “pedestrian shed”, refers to the distance that would make a person’s option of walking or driving to a destination differ. The distance is visualized as a 400-meter radius area most commonly found in some major cities or capitals’ downtown areas/main areas. To further highlight the characteristics of this concept I applied it on a case study of the city of Cluj-Napoca, checking the adherence of many areas against the concept’s principles. This will display the percentage of studied areas that meet the definition criteria and the results will indicate the proposed collection of measures to be adopted by the local authorities to increase the area definition validity score and to improve the citizens quality of life. This concept could be easily replicated in any city or capital and its metrics could be used to assess citizens. Keywords: neighborhood, 5-minute walking distance, urban development, city driving, pedestrian shed."

O crescimento das cidades de forma desorganizada tem despertado grandes preocupações acerca do mecanismo de proteção e defesa do bem-estar de seus habitantes, as de ordem social e ambiental são deveras preocupantes pelos impactos que estas trazem. Com a finalidade de conhecer os problemas e as necessidades socioambientais no município de Rosário – MA, através da análise de indicadores sociais e a consulta do Plano Diretor da cidade, buscou-se demonstrar os problemas socioambientais enfrentados no município, e a importância de um bom planejamento urbano aliado à gestão ambiental. A base econômica do município está nas atividades de pesca, agricultura familiar, extrativismo, pecuária, artesanato, frágil indústria e comércio bastante limitado. Observou-se no município uma carência em seu planejamento, principalmente na implantação de projetos ambientais, no qual o problema da negligência de tais questões é acentuado pela omissão da comunidade na gestão. O descaso do poder público é mais evidente pelas pessoas de baixa renda que, além de arcar com o ônus da dificuldade de acesso à habitação, ao saneamento básico, à educação, ao transporte e à saúde, entre outros itens necessários à reprodução social, essa população também é a mais exposta e vulnerável aos riscos ambientais intrínsecos aos contextos urbanos.Palavras-chave: Vulnerabilidade Socioambiental; Planejamento Urbano; Rosário – MA.ABSTRACTThe growth of cities in a disorganized manner has raised great concerns about the mechanism of protection and defense of the welfare of their inhabitants, the social and environmental are very worrying for the impacts they bring.

In order to know the social and environmental problems and needs in the city of Rosario – MA, through the analysis of social indicators and the consultation of the master plan of the city, we sought to demonstrate the social and environmental problems faced in the city and the importance of a good urban planning combined with environmental management. The economic base of the municipality is fishing, family farming, extractives, livestock, crafts, fragile industry and very limited trade. There was a lack of planning in the municipality, especially in the implementation of environmental projects, in which the problem of neglect of such issues is accentuated by the omission of the community in management. The neglect of the public power is more evident by the low-income people who, besides bearing the burden of the difficulty of access to housing, basic sanitation, education, this population is also the most exposed and vulnerable to environmental risks intrinsic to urban contexts.Keywords: Socio Environmental Vulnerability; Urban Planning; Rosario – MA.RESUMENEl crecimiento de las ciudades de manera desorganizada ha suscitado grandes preocupaciones sobre el mecanismo de protección y defensa del bienestar de sus habitantes, los social y lo ambiental son muy preocupantes por los impactos que conllevan.

Space, it is the area provided for particular purpose. Space can be two dimensional, three dimensional or multi. The perception of a space is known by its functionality and quality. Space does not define the use or behavior. Space can be identified as interior, exterior, common, transition; public, personal etc. 90 percent of our daily lives are spent inside. That is our experience of the city – moving from one interior to another. So our remit is to improve the quality of life for citizen, focusing on the quality of interior spaces.
