ResumoO trabalho discute a produção do espaço urbano, tendo referência o contexto da política habitacional recente (2003-2014) e a construção de novos conjuntos habitacionais. Parte do ano de 2003, momento em que inicia uma nova fase na política habitacional brasileira, avançando até a criação do Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC) e do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV). Analisa a produção do espaço urbano, considerando a construção de novos conjuntos habitacionais e suas localizações. Para tanto, utiliza como referência espacial a Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB). Apesar dos avanços incorporados ao Estatuto das Cidades, em 2001, a política recente tem reforçado uma lógica perversa da localização periférica dos conjuntos habitacionais destinados aos estratos de menor renda, com contribuição direta do PMCMV. Como decorrência, o tecido urbano da RMB tem se estendido precariamente sobre as áreas rurais, num cenário que parece se repetir ao longo das políticas habitacionais, revelando contradições e conflitos na produção do espaço urbano.Palavras-Chave: Espaço Urbano, Política Habitacional, Região Metropolitana de Belém. AbstractThe work discusses the production of urban space, having reference to the recent housing policy (2003-2014) and the construction of new housing estates. From the year of 2003, at which point starts a new phase in the Brazilian housing policy, advancing up the creation of the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC) and the Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV). It analyzes the production of urban space, considering the construction of new housing estates and their locations. Therefore, uses as a spatial reference the Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB). Despite advances incorporated in the Statute of the City, in 2001, the recent policy has reinforced a perverse logic of the peripheral location of the housing estates for the lower income strata, with direct contribution of PMCMV. As a result, the urban fabric of the RMB has extended precariously on the rural areas, a scenario that seems to repeat itself over housing policy, revealing contradictions and conflicts in the production of urban space.Keywords: Urban Space, Housing Policy, the Metropolitan Region of Belém. ResumenEl trabajo analiza la producción del espacio urbano, con referencia a la reciente política habitacional (2003-2014) y la construcción de nuevas viviendas.

Examining the ambivalent place of the sideshow and the laboratory within Victorian culture and its reimaginings, this essay explores the contradiction between the narratively orchestrating role and peripheral location of the sideshow in Leslie Parry’s Church of Marvels (2015) and the laboratory in NBC’s Dracula (2013–2014), reading these neo-Victorian spaces as heterotopias, relational places simultaneously belonging to and excluded from the dominant social order. These spaces’ impacts on individual identity illustrate this uneasy relationship. Both the sideshow and the laboratory constitute sites of resignification, emerging as “crisis heterotopias” or sites of passage: in Parry’s novel, the sideshow allows the Church twins to embrace their unique identities, surpassing the limitations of their physical resemblance; in Dracula, laboratory experiments reverse Dracula’s undead condition. Effecting reinvention, these spaces reconfigure the characters’ senses of belonging, propelling them to places beyond their confines, and thus projecting the latter’s heterotopic qualities onto the city. Potentially harmful, yet opening up urban space to include identities which are considered aberrant, these relocations envision the city as a “heterotopia of compensation”: an alternative, possibly idealized, space that reifies the sideshow’s and the laboratory’s attempts to achieve greater extroversion and visibility for their liminal occupants, thus fostering neo-Victorianism’s outreach efforts to support the disempowered.

Declining importance of agriculture has been accompanied by development of non-agricultural activities in rural areas. Concurrently, there has been an increasing interest in the issues of transforming functional and spatial structure of the village. Functions of rural settlement units are primarily identified based upon analysis of changing tendencies concerning employment structure, land use and infrastructure accessibility. Significant changes have also occurred in the landscape and perception of post-agricultural space. The rural area begins to resemble a city (hub), also in terms of social and living conditions. There is a rise in the standard of living (positive effect) and a widespread of urban style of being (a negative effect). These processes are particularly intense in the villages of the suburban area, as they are being absorbed into the spatial and functional structures of the city. The aim of the research is to determine the functional and spatial differences and similarities among settlement units of the Poznań agglomeration based on the analysis of planning documents as well as spatial and cartographic data. Old villages were selected for the research – currently, self-government housing estates in Poznań (auxiliary units) and villages that are adjacent to the city border. Contemporary changes in the functions of settlement units have been identified in a diverse range and extent. However, in general spatial changes exhibit numerous similarities. The most important spatial decisions affecting the functional and spatial structure of settlement units are undertaken at the commune level. It is however necessary to coordinate these activities also at a higher level and at various scales of planning. In particular, there is a need for a an integrated approach to the management of spatial and landscape resources within strongly connected areas such as urban agglomerations.

THE DYNAMICS OF THE BRAZILIAN HOUSING POLICY IN TERESINA-PILA DINÁMICA DE LA POLÍTICA HABITACIONAL BRASILEÑA EN TERESINA-PIRESUMOA fim de equacionar o problema habitacional, o Estado criou políticas públicas habitacionais, que se intensificaram a partir da segunda metade do século XX. Dentre as interversões estatais no setor habitacional destaca-se a atuação do Banco Nacional da Habitação (BNH) da década de 1960 a 1980 e do Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV) no contexto recente. Ambos atuaram na expansão periférica das cidades brasileiras, por meio da construção de conjuntos/empreendimentos habitacionais. Teresina se insere nesse contexto uma vez que os conjuntos habitacionais, decorrentes do BNH e os empreendimentos habitacionais do PMCMV, têm forte atuação na expansão da cidade. Diante do exposto, o artigo objetiva compreender a dinâmica da política habitacional brasileira em Teresina-PI. Para tanto, propõem-se como objetivos específicos: discutir a evolução da política habitacional brasileira a partir da implantação do BNH até o PMCMV; apresentar a influência da política habitacional na expansão do espaço urbano teresinense, com foco na atuação do BNH e do PMCMV. Diante dos objetivos propostos, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental como procedimentos metodológicos. A política habitacional desenvolvida em Teresina proporcionou a expansão da cidade, principalmente em direção à região Sul, onde concentra o maior número de unidades construídas.Palavras-chave: Política Habitacional; Expansão Urbana; Teresina-PI. ABSTRACTIn order to equate housing problem, the State created public housing policies, which intensified from the second half of the twentieth century. Among the state interchanges in the housing sector, the National Housing Bank (BNH) from the 1960s to the 1980s and the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV) in the recent context stand out. Both worked in the peripheral expansion of Brazilian cities, through the construction of housing developments/projects. Teresina is inserted in this context since the housing complexes, deriving from the BNH and the housing developments of the PMCMV, have a strong role in the expansion of the city. In view of the above, the article aims to understand the dynamics of Brazilian housing policy in Teresina-PI. Therefore, the following specific objectives are proposed: to discuss the evolution of the Brazilian housing policy from the implementation of the BNH to the PMCMV; to present the influence of the housing policy on the expansion of the Teresina urban space, focusing on the performance of BNH and PMCMV. In view of the proposed objectives, bibliographical and documentary research was used as methodological procedures. The housing policy developed in Teresina provided the expansion of the city, mainly towards the South region, where it concentrates the largest number of units built.Keywords: Housing Policy; Urban Sprawl; Teresina-PI.RESUMENCon el propósito de solucionar la problemática habitacional, el Estado creó políticas habitacionales, que se intensificaron a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

DOI: 10.17323/1811-038X-2020-29-3-51-65 This article focuses on shamanic placemaking and the struggles for public space in the Siberian city of Ulan-Ude. Special attention is given to the indigenization of the city, which is a result of the mass immigration of Buryats from rural areas and the decay of the Soviet urbanization model. The article investigates how contemporary shamanism is involved in the decolonization of the urban space, new temporalization, and indigenous placemaking. Instead of dealing with traditional shamanist mediation between spirits and people, the emphasis is on mediation between the idea of ethnicity and the urban space.

Este artigo analisa a produção do programa Minha Casa Minha Vida na região metropolitana de São Paulo. O trabalho parte de uma revisão das principais características e críticas ao programa para investigar o volume de produção, sua adequação à demanda habitacional para cada faixa de renda na região, assim como a localização dos empreendimentos. Utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento, são levantados os padrões de segregação dos empreendimentos com relação a distâncias a centralidades, a equipamentos públicos e aos conjuntos produzidos pelas políticas habitacionais prévias. Os dados confirmam análises anteriores com relação à localização periférica dos empreendimentos, em especial para a primeira faixa de renda. Entretanto, considerando os padrões de localização dos conjuntos existentes e faixas de renda comparáveis, os resultados sugerem que o programa tem produzido conjuntos menos isolados do que as políticas prévias, não sendo possível afirmar que o programa apresente os mesmos resultados territoriais que as políticas precedentes. Palavras-chave: política habitacional; Minha Casa Minha Vida; segregação; periferia; São Paulo. Abstract: This article analyzes the production of the Minha Casa Minha Vida program at the metropolitan region of São Paulo. Departing from a review of the main features of the program and the criticisms that have been raised against it, the study investigates its production, its adequacy to the housing demand for each income band at the region, as well as the location of the projects. Using GIS techniques, we study the segregation patterns of the projects considering their distances to centralities, to public equipment and to the housing projects produced by previous policies. The data confirm previous analyses which state the peripheral location of the projects, in special for the first income band. However, considering the location of the existing projects for comparable income bands, the results suggest that the program produced less isolated projects than previous policies, not being accurate to state that the program presents the same territorial results than the preceding policies.

The chapter focuses on the gabinetes fonográficos active in Barcelona from 1898 onward. It aims to analyze why Barcelona’s early recording industry remained more precarious and less successful than that in Madrid, and advances two reasons: the failure of the Barcelona gabinetes to position themselves within local discourses around science, technology, modernity, and Catalan national identity; and their increasingly peripheral location in the developing urban space of Barcelona. The chapter then discusses how Barcelona eventually came to lead the Spanish recording industry after the advent of the gramophone, with a subsidiary of Gramophone and a new generation of record shops opening in the city.

Lublin developed rapidly at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s. Large residential districts were designed on rural areas surrounding the city. Lublin was expanded in almost every geographical direction, in accordance to the principles specified in the 1959 city master plan. The Kalinowszczyzna district was located in the north, covering local hills and ravines, and replacing the former farm and manor it was subsequently named after. The housing estates constructed there were erected mainly by means of prefabricated elements, and included both flats and shops. They also played cultural and administrative functions. The plan’s implementation was launched in 1963 and came to an end in 1980s. Kalinowszczyzna is currently one of 27 administrative districts of Lublin and constitutes an essential part of the city.

In Ho Chi Minh City, private complexes of rental rooms designated in Vietnamese asnhtrọform one of the cheapest housing stocks, targeting the working-class, including internal rural migrants. This article combines the insights of both migration and urban studies to analyze the occupation of thenhtrọthrough the concept of temporariness. It addresses the tensions between present constraints and long-term plans of rural migrants as well as their translation into the occupation of the urban space. The method draws upon observations of rental housing and interviews conducted in two suburban neighborhoods of HoChiMinhCity in 2020 and 2021, with migrants coming from deltaic and coastal rural areas of Vietnam. It is found that thenh trọprovide housing for rural migrants who are in a long-term temporary situation, within a tight urban fabric with scarce opportunities for access to urban land ownership. Informants have moved to the city up to thirty years ago. Both the move and the duration are explained by multiple factors, from economic and social mutations to environmental pressures on the deltas and the coast. Relative job stability and trust-based interpersonal relationships in the city may strengthen over time, encouraging migrants to stay. Nevertheless, no matter how long they remain in Ho Chi Minh City, many migrants perceive their stay as temporary before a projected return to the hometown, where their permanent residence registration remains. The occupation of thenhtrọobserved, their adaptations, and the narratives of migrants reveal the relative nature of temporariness in migration and draw the contours of the spatial footprint of low-skilled rural migrants in Ho Chi Minh City.
