PIMOT CAPE VERT
"Plano intermunicipal de ordenamento do território" in the island of Santiago
DEC 11-18, 2023
As part of the PIMOT project with the municipalities of Praia, Ribeira Grande de Santiago and São Domingos, five members of the GEOTPU.LAB team participated in a mission during the second week of December.
The plan of activities included several talks and formal meetings with the Mayors and Councillors to discuss the main issues and the potential of each municipality, as well as pointing out possible strategies and visions for the future of each territory and the three municipalities as a whole.
The visits to the field were key to the understanding of the population's and the land-use problems and the potential of each municipality. Particularly noteworthy were the great expansion of the urban fabric of the city of Praia over the last 20 years, the potential for mountain and rural tourism in the municipality of São Domingos and the important cultural memory and identity of the municipality of Ribeira Grande de Santiago.

NEW Special Issue
Title: Cities and Buildings as Drivers for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation: New Models and Computational
AUG 26, 2022
NEW FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECT | HORIZONT MSCA Doctoral Networks 2021
Title: GReeNexUS - ‘Green-health-safety Nexus for new Urban Spaces’
AUG 22, 2022
The project entitled 'Green-health-safety Nexus for new Urban Spaces' (GreeNexUS) was funded by the Horizon Europe Framework Programme under the MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS Doctoral Networks 2021 grant agreement No.101073437.
The GreeNexUS project proposes a novel and multidisciplinary approach to promote urban greening, territorial regeneration and safety/accessibility/walkability of urban infrastructures, as key strategies to face those challenges, while addressing climate change and preventing pandemics from exacerbating inequalities in disadvantaged/vulnerable groups. The GreeNexUS participants (20 institutions from 9 European countries) are joining forces to offer a collaborative Training-through-Research programme involving universities, research centres, companies, NGOs, and local authorities that share this new vision of fostering greener, healthier and safer urban realms of Europe’s cities and towns. This will drive the GreeNexUS process to train specialists, whose cutting-edge and intersectoral expertise will be developed and managed through a challenging general programme of training that combines and integrates the various fields of innovative knowledge of the GreeNexUS’ participants, and also includes career planning, entrepreneurship and soft skills training. In terms of research, 10 specific and multidisciplinary topics will be addressed by 10 Doctoral Candidates, who are envisaged to spread the GreeNexUS approach beyond the project’s scope and duration, under the guidance of a supervisory group of academic and non-academic experts.
Overall, the project will attract more than 2,6M€ and will generate repercussions, as well as for all other doctoral students and those of other doctorates, also for teachers and researchers, thanks to the collaboration and higher education opportunities that will derive from it.
The project led by the University of Bologna will involve the Instituto Técnico Superior under the Research Coordination of Prof Miguel Amado and Teixeira Duarte Engenharia e Construções SA as an industrial Portuguese research partner.
The other partners are: Wageningen University of Nederlands; Vrije Universiteit Brussel of Belgium; Geoponiko panespistimion Athinion of Grece; Rise Research Institutes of Sweden; Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet- NTU of Norway.

If climate change is one of this century's most significant concerns and a cross-cutting challenge of the 2030 agenda, energy transition is perhaps the most effective process to mitigate its impacts toward a low-carbon and sustainable society. Nevertheless, fostering such a transition involves profound structural changes in cities, opening new debates around the theoretical and practical implications, especially about the appropriateness of current policy and planning approaches.
Today, the central role of energy in all societies, particularly in supporting advanced economies and social activities, has become a major concern of sustainable urban development. This is for two reasons; first, population growth, economic development, and improved quality of life have caused a constant increase in energy consumption over time; second, fossil fuel-based energy production has resulted in very high costs and acute side effects associated with climate change and the continuous degradation of the environment.
Hence, the urgency of greater efficiency in energy use, especially in urban areas where most people live and work. With such considerations in mind, it is necessary to modify the development models of different societies, reflecting on the knowledge of consumer behaviour and changing the way to plan cities according to more sustainable and innovative energy management. This need for social understanding and urban change is at the heart of sustainable energy transition for cities. The book links theory to practice, offering knowledge and technical contents condensed from literature and experience to disclose the complex relationships between future cities and energy transition to politicians, technicians, researchers, university students and other readers interested in making sustainable future cities.

The scope of this Special Issue focuses on the Sustainable Regeneration of urbanized waterfronts in delta river regions, exploring the opportunities of greening adaptative approaches. Sea-level rise is now a critical reality that affects millions of inhabitants worldwide, living in settlements with varying degrees of vulnerability and resilience. Climate change and sea-level rise challenges have moved toward the need for adaptation responses that the International Panel on Climate Change has categorized along with three models: Protect, Accommodate, and Retreat (IPCC, 1990). This means that the elaboration of future scenarios based on sustainable regeneration approaches will be crucial in waterfront planning and management. This process could follow many possible pathways, depending on physical, environmental, social, and economic contexts. The purpose of the Special Issue is to collect theoretical and practical contributions on solutions that promote the incremental retreat, protection, and accommodation of urban settlement, coupled with the promotion of spatial delimitation of buffer zones to implement green waterfront adaptation plans. Following the principle of accommodating sea-level rise and not trying to hold the line, the green regeneration of urbanized waterfronts must be regarded as a short-term intervention that could provide socioeconomic wellbeing, ecological restoration, and public space renewal at present and not just in the future.
This complex task revolves around several topics, including but not limited to the following:
-
Climate change and sea-level rise uncertainty;
-
Resilient models for future water cities;
-
Social and economic analysis of vulnerable communities in the delta river region;
-
Sustainable adaptative waterfront masterplan;
-
Planning adaptative green infrastructures;
-
Landscape and urban design solutions against rising sea levels;
-
Land-use planning, property rights tenure and compensation mechanisms;
-
Digitalization tools to support policy making and spatial planning decisions;
-
Funding for local authorities;
-
GIS and waterfronts adaptation scenarios;
-
Cases studies in the delta river region.

Urban expansion, as a consequence of human activities, is directly related to global energy consumption. Current urban planning is not a process that guarantees efficient cities. In this context, this goal becomes essential for achieving the sustainable development of the territory and human activities. For an efficient urban planning, the development of knowledge and methodologies for the sustainability of the built environment is essential. In this aspect, a multidisciplinary approach that integrates principles of sustainability and environmental parameters, as well as sociocultural and economic aspects in spatial planning, urban design and architectural projects, is essential.
Professor Miguel Amado is the invited for this lecture at 10h (Brasília time).

Exhibition
Rehabilitate, Interpret, use the modern in Mindelo and in Almada
House of Architecture in Oeiras, from March 29 to April 12
MARCH 25, 2019
The Coordination of the Architecture Course of IST and the Municipality of Oeiras invite you to participate in the exhibition of Final Architecture Projects of the final students of the Master in Architecture of the Instituto Superior Técnico developed in the academic year 2017/18.
The architecture projects were grouped in two groups, one with object in the city of Mindelo in Cape Verde and another in the city of Almada in Portugal.
The concept of the exhibition is the geographical line that separates the two groups but simultaneously unites them through a common theme - The modernist architecture of the first half of the twentieth century by two Portuguese architects.
The exhibition space is divided in two to emphasize this idea, creating a large central distribution space from which the visitor can visualize the various projects exposed. In the atrium space there will be a disclosure of introductory elements to each of the pre-existing buildings that were the subject of student intervention.
An identical layout was proposed for all the participating works - two A1 panels, one mock-up and one portfolio to be displayed on a modular support that could be
replicated by the projects.
This exhibition benefits from the quality of the space of the recently created House of Architecture of Oeiras as a reference point for the promotion of the architecture produced in the Greater Lisbon area, in particular, in the present case of an academic context, and of dissemination of the work methodology developed by the finalist students of Instituto Superior Técnico who also had the participation in MEIA - Mindelo International School of Art in Cape Verde.
