Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Mechanics and Materials in Design (M2D2026)
type: item
description: The 11th International Conference on Mechanics and Materials in Design (M2D2026) continues a long-standing tradition of bringing together researchers, engineers, designers, and practitioners from around the world to discuss advances, challenges, and emerging directions in the broad fields of engineering mechanics, materials science, manufacturing technologies, and biomechanics. This series of conferences started in 1996, in Toronto (Canada) and they are wholly devoted to advances in mechanics, materials, structural integrity and design. M2D2026 is jointly sponsored by the University of Porto, the University of Toronto and the Portuguese Society of Experimental Mechanics. Held in the beautiful coastal city of Albufeira, Portugal, from 22 to 26 June 2026, this edition of the conference reaffirms the vitality and relevance of interdisciplinary research in shaping the future of engineering design. The response from the scientific community has been remarkable. For M2D2026, we received over 170 submitted papers, authored by more than 530 contributors representing 25 different countries. This impressive level of participation reflects both the international reach of the conference and the growing importance of integrated approaches to mechanics and materials in modern engineering practice. The diversity of contributions - spanning theoretical developments, experimental investigations, numerical modelling, design methodologies, and industrial applications - demonstrates the richness and dynamism of the field. The papers included in these Proceedings underwent a rigorous peer-review process conducted by an international panel of experts. Their careful evaluations ensured the scientific quality, clarity, and relevance of the accepted contributions. We extend our sincere appreciation to all reviewers for their dedication, professionalism, and timely efforts. Their work is essential to maintaining the high standards that characterize the M2D conference series. The conference t…

O Boletim do DEMec da FEUP em 1980-1994
type: item
description: A ideia de reeditar a primeira série do Boletim do Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica da FEUP resultou do interesse que suscitam os inícios, nos anos setenta, do actual DEMec da FEUP. Reedita-se a primeira série do Boletim do DEMec porque ela é um testemunho de tempos passados que formataram o DEMec que hoje conhecemos. O Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica da FEUP atingiu, em cerca de cinquenta anos de existência, protagonismo a nível nacional e considerável reputação internacional. Que passos terão sido dados para o conseguir? O Boletim do DEMec é uma fonte de informação traduzindo bem o ethos prevalecente nesses períodos fundadores - mesmo que fonte reconhecidamente precária, registando factos de forma nem sistemática nem exaustiva, e deixando de fora muito do que de importante sucedeu.

Problemas Resolvidos de Eletromagnetismo e Circuitos
type: item
description: Este livro complementa o livro Eletromagnetismo e Circuitos dos mesmos autores (https://villate.org/eletromagnetismo). Mostra-se a resolução dos primeiros problemas propostos em cada capítulo desse livro. Uma parte muito importante na aprendizagem da Física é a resolução de problemas; alguns dos problemas poderão ser resolvidos pelos estudantes após terem estudado o respetivo capítulo, mas quando houver dificuldades será conveniente consultar a resolução neste livro. Também é recomendável a todos os estudantes que comparem as suas próprias resoluções com as resoluções neste livro. Os problemas resolvidos neste livro, deveriam ser abordados após terem sido estudados os problemas resolvidos no Eletromagnetismo e Circuitos, onde são designados de exemplos. Este livro também poderá ser útil, de forma independente do Eletromagnetismo e Circuitos, para quem já conheça a teoria envolvida mas esteja interessado em resolver mais problemas. Os primeiros 5 capítulos são uma introdução à eletrostática e à teoria da eletricidade. O capítulo 6 é sobre circuitos de corrente contínua. Os capítulos 7 e 8 são sobre magnetismo e magnetostática. No capítulo 9 é abordada a indução eletromagnética. O capítulo 10 é sobre circuitos de corrente alternada e o tema do capítulo 11 são as ondas eletromagnéticas. A formatação do livro e todas as figuras foram feitas pelos autores, usando vários pacotes de Software Livre. Usou-se o sistema LaTeX para o texto e as figuras foram feitas com o módulo physics.asy (https://villate.org/software/) para Asymptote. Os gráficos de funções e de linhas de campo foram feitos no Sistema de Computação Algébrica Maxima; este sistema foi também usado para conferir as resoluções dos exemplos e problemas. Os retratos dos físicos na abertura dos capítulos são da autoria de Jaime Villate e foram feitos a lápis de grafite, baseados em fotografias encontradas na Web. Nesta segunda edição, para além de terem sido corrigidas várias gralhas, a principal alteração foi no ca…

Eletromagnetismo e Circuitos
type: item
description: Este livro é fruto da experiência de mais de 30 anos e 20 anos dos primeiro e segundo autores, respetivamente, no ensino do Eletromagnetismo a estudantes de Engenharia. Espera-se que também seja útil a estudantes de outras áreas que tenham Eletromagnetismo ou circuitos elétricos no seu currículo. A tecnologia eletromagnética tem evoluído muito nas últimas décadas. Isto faz com que algumas aplicações que faziam há alguns anos parte da experiência quotidiana dos estudantes, como, por exemplo, lâmpadas incandescentes ou tubos de raios catódicos, passem a ser objetos de museu. A nova geração de estudantes está mais habituada a tecnologias que eram desconhecidas para a maioria da população há alguns anos, tais como, células de combustível, ultracondensadores ou LEDs. Torna-se assim importante atualizar os nossos manuais com novos exemplos de aplicação. Embora os assuntos abordados se encontrem tratados em muitos outros livros, tentamos apresentar, sem descuidar o rigor na introdução dos diferentes conceitos, uma abordagem elementar e original ao Eletromagnetismo e aos circuitos elétricos. A maior parte dos problemas foram adaptados dos livros na bibliografia, mas vários problemas são originais. Este livro é acompanhado por outro livro, Problemas de Eletromagnetismo e Circuitos, onde é apresentada a resolução de alguns dos problemas propostos no fim de cada capítulo. A resolução de problemas reveste-se de grande importância na aprendizagem dos temas desenvolvidos neste livro. Os primeiros 5 capítulos são uma introdução à eletrostática e à teoria da eletricidade. O capítulo 6 é sobre circuitos de corrente contínua. Os capítulos 7 e 8 são sobre magnetismo e magnetostática. No capítulo 9 é estudada a indução eletromagnética. O capítulo 10 é sobre circuitos de corrente alternada. As equações de Maxwell e ondas eletromagnéticas são discutidas no capítulo 11 e o último capítulo, 12, é uma discussão breve sobre as história das teorias da luz. A formatação do livro e todas as fig…

Abstracts of PhD theses
type: item
description: This booklet contains extended abstracts of PhD theses of the Doctoral Program in Mechanical Engineering (PRODEM), DEMec, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal. These theses were defended between 1 September 2023 and 31 July 2024, corresponding approximately to the academic year 2023-2024. The booklet contains nineteen extended abstracts covering diverse topics within the broad field of Mechanical Engineering. These include, but are not limited to, innovative methodologies in gear design, varied aspects of composite materials and their applications, simulation-driven product analysis and development, additive and other manufacturing techniques, studies of adhesive joints, fatigue and structural health monitoring, passive vibration control, application of solar energy, and the analysis of viscoelastic fluid flows. The abstracts are organised by the defence date and, when more than one defence occurred on the same day, by the name of the student. PRODEM is very grateful to the former students for preparing these abstracts and extends its acknowledgment to both the students and their supervisors for the development of the corresponding PhD theses. The abstracts, and the sample publications mentioned in a few of them, illustrate the vibrant intervention of PRODEM students and their supervisors in the scientific community. The success of PRODEM is built upon an active research environment, the knowledge and conditions accumulated by the host and collaborating institutions, and the dedication and expertise of students, lecturers and supervisors. Various funding sources, alongside FEUP’s contribution as host institution, supported the PhD theses. Most extended abstracts include acknowledgments to the respective funding sources, to which PRODEM also expresses its gratitude.

Explorar o comportamento informacional
type: item
description: Este livro é uma introdução à investigação sobre o comportamento informacional humano. Não é um livro sobre a rica diversidade de tal comportamento como é relatado em milhares de artigos de investigação, teses de doutoramento e relatórios para agências de financiamento. Esse trabalho já foi feito por Donald Case no seu livro Looking for information. É, em vez disso, um relato muito pessoal, baseado em larga medida na minha própria investigação e nos meus próprios quadros teóricos. Outro texto introdutório, com um âmbito bastante mais lato do que este, é Introduction to information behaviour, de Nigel Ford. Inevitavelmente, faz-se referência à extensa literatura, uma vez que o resultado da investigação sobre o comportamento humano oferece uma maior compreensão da riqueza desse comportamento e da complexa interação de fatores que têm impacto sobre o indivíduo que procura informação. No entanto, sempre que possível, tento fornecer links para fontes disponíveis em acesso aberto, acreditando que é muito mais provável que o leitor clique num link para encontrar um documento relacionado do que tentar descobrir a fonte para um documento citado. O livro é destinado a quem se inicia na investigação, talvez preparando uma dissertação de mestrado, ou começando a pensar na investigação para doutoramento. Espero que, quando o leitor chegar ao final do livro, eu lhe tenha transmitido três coisas: em primeiro lugar, o que se entende por comportamento informacional; em segundo lugar, quais as teorias e modelos que orientam a nossa abordagem à investigação; e, finalmente, uma sólida compreensão dos vários métodos de investigação empregues na investigação em comportamento informacional, e como os utilizar. O livro pode também ter alguma relevância para ajudar os gestores de informação a compreenderem as circunstâncias complexas subjacentes às necessidades de informação e ao comportamento informacional dos seus clientes. Espero fornecer uma introdução de agradável leitura a este tema, …

Encontro Nacional do Betão Estrutural 2024 (BE2024)
type: item
description: O Encontro Nacional Betão Estrutural 2024 – BE2024, organizado conjuntamente pelo Grupo Português de Betão Estrutural (GPBE) e pela Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP), constituiu uma oportunidade de atualização técnica no domínio do Betão Estrutural. Num momento em que Portugal regista grande vitalidade no domínio das Obras Públicas, o BE2024 possibilitou a apresentação e divulgação de casos de estudo envolvendo grandes empreendimentos, a par do aprofundamento dos mais recentes conhecimentos ligados à conceção e projeto de estruturas, aos novos materiais e à reabilitação. De relevância para o público alvo do BE2024 são igualmente os desafios com que se debate o setor da Construção, num contexto em que se destacam a mudança impulsionada pela transformação digital e o imperativo da sustentabilidade ambiental, associados a temas incontornáveis como a pré-fabricação, a construção modular e a tecnologia BIM. O BE2024 foi delineado para dar resposta a uma dupla necessidade: permitir a troca de experiências e divulgar os novos conhecimentos no âmbito do Betão Estrutural. Foi desta forma que se identificaram os temas a abordar, ligados aos Materiais e Produtos, à Sustentabilidade, à Análise e Projeto de Estruturas, à Reabilitação e às Realizações. Foi dedicada uma importância especial às temáticas da Pré-fabricação e da Construção Modular, bem como às grandes obras em curso em Portugal, com relevo para as ligadas à ampliação das redes dos metros do Porto e de Lisboa. O programa do BE2024 incluiu três palestras convidadas: o engenheiro George Jones, convener do TG6.7 da fib, apresentou o recente Bulletin 101 - Precast Concrete in Tall Buildings; o professor Eugen Brühwiler, apresentou uma palestra centrada nas aplicações do UHPFRC (Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete); na manhã do último dia do BE2024 decorreu uma conferência plenária dedicada à apresentação do projeto da Ponte Ferreirinha, a cargo dos engenheiros Miguel Sacristán e Filipe V…

12th International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components (XII DBMC)
type: item
description: The DBMC Conferences - Durability of Building Materials and Components - have had a long history that started in 1978 and thereafter travelled through different countries and cities including: Canada - Ottawa, 78'; United States - Gaithersburg, 81' ; Finland - Espoo, 84'; Republic of Singapore - Singapore, 87'; United Kingdom - Brighton, 90'; Japan - Omiya, 93'; Sweden - Stockholm, 96'; Canada - Vancouver, 99'; Australia - Brisbane, 2002; France - Lyon, 2005; Turkey - Istanbul, 2008. In the distant past, construction solutions were validated empirically through several years of experience, whereas with the onset of further industrialization of the construction process, it was recognized within the construction community that a performance-based selection of materials, components and systems was required if innovation was to be fostered and progress in the construction domain achieved. However, it was equally apparent to those promoting such novel approaches that the selection on the basis of understanding of performance requirements could only be met if the results of research and development were made available and indeed exploitable by practitioners. The DBMC has had over the years the aim to contribute to the systematization and dissemination of knowledge related to the long-term performance and durability of construction and, simultaneously, to show the most recent advances in this domain. Given the availability of new construction solutions, these days ever evolving in the construction domain, and these offering greater levels of construction complexity, there is perhaps a presupposition that their performance over time can be readily estimated on the basis of a knowledge of material properties and the ability to simulate the performance of the individual’s parts of a complex system. In fact, only an in-depth knowledge of the area of durability allows the prediction of performance over time and from this, the designation of suitable solutions for the most compl…

3.° Encontro sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios (PATORREB 2009)
type: item
description: Realizaram-se em Março de 2003 e em Março de 2006, na Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, o 1.º e 2.º Encontro sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios - PATORREB, que contaram com mais de 600 participantes (professores, investigadores, estudantes, construtores, projectistas e outros profissionais). O extraordinário interesse manifestado pelo tema motiva a realização do 3.0 Encontro sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios - PATORREB 2009, organizado conjunta­ mente pela Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, pela Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha e pela Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo, com o intuito de dar um novo impulso na divulgação e sistematização do conhecimen­to, neste domínio, e, simultaneamente, contribuir para um intercâmbio técnico­ cientifico entre Portugal, Espanha, Brasil e diferentes países da América Latina. As linguas oficiais das actas do PATORREB 2009 serão o português e o espanhol. Com o objectivo de internacionalizar o PATORREB organiza-se, em simultâneo, a reunião anual do CIB-W086: Building Pathology, que tem o apoio do lnternational Council for Research and lnovation in Building and Construction. A reabilitação é uma área estratégica, que deve não só preocupar-se com as construções históricas e os edifícios antigos, mas também com aqueles que o tempo de utilização exige intervenções de adaptação às exigências actuais. Por outro lado, foram construidos centenas de milhares de fogos, nas duas últimas décadas, que nem sempre apresentam o desempenho esperado, o que exige o diagnóstico das patologias observadas e a sua reparação. Será um erro se no futuro não encararmos a rea­bilitação de todo o património edificado mas apenas de uma parte dos edifícios. Consideramos que é necessário clarificar as estratégias Nacionais e Municipais e o enquadramento legislativo no domínio da reabilitação do património edificado; tipifi­car os edifícios que é necessário reabilitar e qual a metodologia de abordagem…

1.° Encontro Nacional sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios (PATORREB 2003)
type: item
description: Muito embora haja uma preocupação crescente com a qualidade da cons­trução, traduzida pela introdução de regulamentação específica na área do con­forto, verifíca-se que os edifícios construídos nos últimos anos não apresentam a qualidade esperada. Pode mesmo afirmar-se que há alguns milhares de fogos, construídos recentemente, com patologias muito graves que condicionam a sua utilização. A falta de sistematização do conhecimento, a ausência de informação téc­nica, a inexistência de um sistema efectivo de garantias e de seguros, a veloci­dade exigida ao processo de construção, as novas preocupações arquitectóni­cas, a aplicação de novos materiais, a inexistência na equipa de projecto de es­pecialistas em física das construções são causas fundamentais da não qualidade dos edifícios. Nestas circunstâncias, será da maior importância uma reflexão profunda sobre as causas da patologia da construção em Portugal, bem como a definição de uma estratégia, a médio prazo, para a melhoria da qualidade e da durabili­dade dos edifícios, em particular, da sua envolvente. O investimento na reabilitação e conservação de edifícios em Portugal é extremamente reduzido, não atingindo sequer os 10% do investimento total do sector da construção, contrariamente a muitos países da União Europeia em que esse sector corresponde a uma fatia do mercado superior a 40%. A ausên­cia de investimento na reabilitação tem como consequência a degradação dos centros urbanos e da qualidade de vida dos cidadãos. Consideramos que é necessário inverter esta situação nas próximas décadas o que exige: o desenvolvimento de metodologias para a elaboração de projec­tos de reabilitação de edifícios, a implementação de estudos de diagnóstico su­portados por medições in situ e em laboratório, o conhecimento das patologias mais correntes, o conhecimentos do desempenho dos materiais e tecnologias utilizadas em reabilitação, bem como a elaboração de cadernos de encargos exigenciais suportados por manuais exigenciais.

2.° Encontro sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios (PATORREB 2006)
type: item
description: Realizou-se em Março de 2003, na Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, o 1.° Encontro Nacional sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios - PATORREB 2003, que contou com mais de 600 participantes (professores, inves­tigadores, estudantes, construtores, projectistas e outros profissionais). O extra­ordinário interesse manifestado pelo tema motivou a realização do 2.° Encontro sobre Patologia e Reabilitação de Edifícios - PATORREB 2006 organizado con­juntamente pela Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto e pela Uni­versidade Politécnica da Catalunha, com o intuito de dar um novo impulso na definição de uma estratégia clara para o futuro da reabilitação do património edifica­do. A reabilitação é uma área estratégica, que deve não só preocupar-se com as construções históricas e os edifícios antigos, mas também com aqueles que o tempo de utilização exige intervenções de adaptação às exigências actuais. Por outro lado, foram construídos centenas de milhares de fogos, nas duas últimas décadas, que nem sempre apresentam o desempenho esperado, o que exige o diagnóstico das patologias observadas e a sua reparação. Será um erro se no fu­turo não encararmos a reabilitação de todo o património edificado mas apenas de uma parte dos edifícios. Consideramos que é necessário clarificar as estratégias Nacionais e Munici­pais e o enquadramento legislativo no domínio da reabilitação do património edifi­cado; tipificar os edifícios que é necessário reabilitar e qual a metodologia de abordagem; discutir a compatibilização das exigências dos regulamentos actuais com a especificidade dos projectos de reabilitação; avaliar a implementação da reabilitação de edifícios na requalificação urbana; propor o desenvolvimento de um código da construção e do seguro da construção como pilares da qualidade; divulgar tecnologias utilizadas em reabilitação; apresentar tecnologias de diagnós­tico e tipificar patologias. O PATORREB 2006, que conta com a apresentação de cerca de 70 co…

Proceedings of CITTA 14th Annual Conference on Planning Research
type: item
description: Community, equity, fairness, and social justice have traditionally been key principles in spatial and transport planning. However, the ongoing planetary transformations – such as those driven by climate change, global urbanization, sociodemographic, cultural and political change, technological transition and the restructuring of finance, labour, and welfare – introduce complex and, in some ways, unprecedented challenges. These transformations not only call into question how we define and apply those principles but also test the ability of spatial and transport planning and policy to enact impactful change. In this context, CITTA chose Safe, Equitable, and Just Communities as the theme for its 14th Annual Conference on Planning Research, held on June 17, 2022. This decision highlights the significance of continuously reflecting on our research concepts, strategies, and methodologies, as well as their ability to describe and explain real-world processes accurately. It also acknowledges the critical connections between knowledge production and collective action, underscoring the importance of normative discussions around values and aspirations. The Conference benefited from the inspiring contributions of Jennifer Robinson on Settings of community engagement: What role for planning in social justice?, and of Pierluigi Coppola on Planning the future of urban mobility: Green smart and fair solutions, and brought together 53 papers, organised around four main topics, each expressing how the theme of the Conference intersects the current CITTA’s research: Planning for social and environmental justice; Equitable and just urban policies; Accessible and inclusive transport systems and mobility services; and Safe and efficient transport systems. This Book of Proceedings includes six papers, which in a way represent and record the diversity of perspectives and debates that shaped the Conference. The papers show a wide range of research topics, spanning from autonomous vehicles t…

Proceedings of CITTA 13th Annual Conference on Planning Research
type: item
description: After the interruption of the traditional annual CITTA conference in 2020 (the conference series started in 2008), due to all the initial oubts and uncertainties that characterised the first months of the Covid pandemic, the Centre’s management board decided to go head with the 2021 conference, this time online. The board was very much aware of the difficulties the organizing team would face iven the persistence of the pandemic and the then-generalised lockdown situation in the country. Still, a group of researchers, eaded by Cecília Silva, decided to prepare and submit a proposal to CITTA’s internal call for the organization of the conference. One f the motivating reasons for this decision had to do with the closing of the BooST research project – Boosting cycling strategies in tarter cycling cities – and the possibility to articulate the final conference of this project with CITTA’s 13th annual conference on planning research. The organizing team chose “Planning for human scale cities” as the main topic and title of the conference. The revisitation of this recurrent topic in planning was very justified. Over a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, cities all over the world have been experiencing unprecedented changes and challenges. Never before has the importance attached to local scale proximity, to the sense of place and of the closeness of neighbourhoods, as well as to the quality of public spaces and of local services, become so evident. As the introductory text to the conference emphasises, a human-centred approach is much needed these days, focussing on fostering the user-friendliness of the urban environment and on generating lively and liveable cities. This book of proceedings includes nine texts out of over 50 conference presentations. The range of topics covered by this collection of texts, as well as the diverse origins of the authors/presenters, is fairly representative of the debate that took place in the various plenary and parallel sessions of the confe…

Proceedings of CITTA 10th Annual Conference on Planning Research
type: item
description: I’m particularly pleased and honoured to write these introductory lines to this book of proceedings. Firstly, because it is a wonderful way to celebrate the 10th annual conference organized by our research centre – CITTA. Ten years ago, when we started this journey and organized the first CITTA Conference, I still remember to make the point in the closing speech that more difficult than organizing a first international conference would be to keep its regular organization over the years with the same enthusiasm, rigour and quality standards of the first one. Clearly, this challenge has been successfully met thanks to the collaboration, talent and dedication of all the senior and junior researchers that, over the years, have been contributing to the development and consolidation of our research centre. Secondly, because the theme of the conference - Planning for Climate Change – has long been central to several research projects carried out at CITTA. The subtitle – Political climate for policy changes – is an obvious reference to the recent fallacies and denials brought about by the Trump administration to the wider political debate. This new rhetoric is dangerously weakening international long term initiatives that could, if not reverse current trends at least slow down and contain the widespread climatic changes that are occurring on the earth’s surface, hitting in particular the poorer and more vulnerable sectors of our societies, specially in the so-called global South. Thirdly, because for the first time, the organization of the conference was based on an internal call open to all the staff of the research centre, which resulted in the selection of the proposal prepared by Ruben Fernandes and Luísa Batista. To these two CITTA researchers I shall address my deepest thanks and congratulations for the overall success of the conference, which accounted with an excellent choice of keynote speakers, including the Portuguese Ministry for the Environment João Pedro Matos…

description: This book includes a representative sample of the most relevant papers (42 in total) presented at the 8th CITTA Annual Conference on Planning Research. The conference took place in Oporto in September 2015 and resulted from a joint venture between our research centre CITTA and the AESOP’s Thematic Group on Public Spaces and Urban Cultures. The main theme and title of the conference “Generative Places, Smart Approaches, Happy People” proposes a reflection on an ambitious and wide scoped triangle in which seems to converge timeless and contemporary edge cutting planning issues, such as planning for inspiring and friendly places, planning with people for better equipped and happier communities, and innovative approaches and methodologies to design and jointly implement locally based and socially responsive policies and initiatives. The book is organized in three main chapters. The first one, gathering ten papers, deals with the physical dimension of planning and with the increasingly subtle and fuzzy boundaries between the real and the virtual world, and the corresponding challenges for thinking and planning the cities of the XXI century. The second chapter deals with the social dimension of urban planning and, in particular, with the factors, conditions and participatory methodologies to build successful mediation processes. This chapter includes eleven papers. Finally, the third chapter, the bulkiest one with 21 papers, is dedicated to the cultural dimension of planning, embracing a wide range of topics related to local identities and meanings. Surely not by chance, this cultural dimension gathers the largest number of research papers presented at the conference, illustrating the increasing importance of culture and culture related topics, in the way we currently see a new and far-reaching role for urban planning and management.

Proceedings of CITTA 5th Annaul Conference on Planning Research
type: item
description: The 5th Annual Conference of our research centre, CITTA, with the general theme – Planning for Ageing: Think, Act and Share Age-Friendly Cities – took place in the European Year on Active Ageing and Intergenerational Solidarity, emphasizing the relevance of addressing population change and new demands to communicate and serve the entire citizenry. The conference intended to stimulate the debate on the importance of planning for ageing. It is imperative nowadays to bring ageing into planning by raising awareness of planners in developing inclusive communities and environments, but also to encourage policymakers and other stakeholders in creating better opportunities for older people to live in our contemporary societies. The populations of the world are changing. In some countries, the number of senior citizens will strongly increase. The number of older persons (60+) will double from the current 600 million to 1.2 billion by 2025, and again, to 2 billion by 2050. Homes, communities and environments have not been designed with older people’s needs and capacities in mind. Policy makers, planners and other urban actors should approach new agendas (like WHO Age Friendly Cities Guidelines) to ensure the quality of the tools and interventions they use. Experts need to guide policies and processes to achieve better results in the planning of services and infrastructures not only for the elderly but also for all ages; changing patterns of behaviour, lifestyle and expectations of new generations of older people should be taken into account. We were pleased to have the valuable contributions of Prof Taner Oc, from the Barttlet School of Planning of the University College of London, and of Prof Mike Biddulph, from Cardiff University, as keynote speakers, who have enriched and stimulated the debate with new perspectives and recent advances. The participants included mainly researchers from the academic world, both national and international planning research centres, with a lar…

Proceedings of CITTA 3rd Annual Conference on Planning Research
type: item
description: Following two previous and successful conferences organized around the topics of ‘Evaluation in Planning’ and ‘Planning in times of uncertainty’ the idea of ‘Bringing city form back into Planning’ was chosen to inspire the 3rd Annual Conference of our research centre, CITTA. City form and structure have long been associated with modern urban planning and yet, over recent decades, the mainstream theoretical debate on urban planning have seemed to privilege planning processes rather than planning policies, plans and outcomes. In our view, this focus has surely contributed to the growing and damaging divide between planning theory and planning practice. More recently, the urban sustainability debate has underlined the importance of the physical dimension of our cities and city regions, through design-responsive urban regeneration strategies and urban transport policies. In this more general context, the main objective of the conference was to bring the whole debate on urban form and city structure back into planning by exploring recent advances on space syntax and revisiting classical disciplines such as urban morphology. We were honored with the presence and the stimulating keynote speech of Prof. Bill Hillier from the Bartlett School of the University College of London, surely one of the main contributors to the emergence, development and consolidation of these themes worldwide. This book of proceedings includes an interesting selection of the papers presented at the conference. It is organized in five parts and reports research work carried out at CITTA and at other planning research centres in Portugal and abroad. In the first part we include a keynote speech on the return to urban design from a Portuguese perspective and the reporting of two major CITTA lines of research on urban and suburban morphologies. The second part includes fifteen papers organized under the heading of Planning and Environmental Assessment. The third part also gathers fifteen contributions …

Proceedings of CITTA 2nd Annual Conference on Planning Research
type: item
description: The second annual conference of CITTA took place in a time of economic decline, raising unemployment, and deep concerns about our near future. The general theme of the conference – Planning in Times of Uncertainty – aimed to capture these particular circumstances. Our objective was to gather a number of theoretical and practical contributions, coming from the planning research field, which would approach the challenges ahead from a positive and constructive perspective. Planning as both a professional field and as a scientific discipline, has long seemed to be better equipped to deal with managing growth and change, rather then decline, complexity and uncertainty. However, we firmly believe that planners’ understanding of the spatial dimension of social, economic and environmental processes may provide an important help to find a way out of this current crisis. Our planning doctrines, paradigms, methods and techniques have to be revisited and reinvented to face the challenges ahead. In this difficult context, it is time to discuss the role of planning research to prepare a more balanced, sustainable and socially sensitive future. This book contains a selection of the large number of papers presented at the conference. This selection reflects the work carried out at the CITTA research centre, as well as some of the most relevant research work carried out elsewhere in other Portuguese research centres and abroad. Generally speaking, the organization of the papers closely follows the conference programme. The first part of this book includes Patsy Healey’s keynote speech and the presentations at the plenary sessions of two European research projects; MOPUS – Mobility Patterns and Urban Structures, and SUME – Sustainable Urban Metabolism for Europe. The second part covers seventeen papers included in the Planning and Environmental Assessment tracks. The third part gathers seven papers presented in the Urban Planning and Housing track. The fourth part, dedicated to Trans…

PROCEEDINGS OF CITTA 1ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON PLANNING RESEARCH
type: item
description: This book contains a fair selection of the papers presented at the 1st CITTA’s annual conference. In line with our initial intentions and, indeed, with the programme of the conference, the four parts of this book present a mixed and balanced picture of a wide and diverse range of research contributions coming both from our centre and from other Portuguese research centres with a particular interest in planning. The title - Planning Evaluation - reflects the general theme of the conference. As a research topic, the evaluation of planning activities already has a long history and yet, it is still a rather difficult and controversial issue to address. The first contributions date back to the 1960s. At that time, a number of evaluation methodologies appeared in the planning literature as refinements of the classical Cost Benefit Analysis. Their general conceptual framework was very much in accordance with the then dominant rational comprehensive planning model. However, those early days left very few records of practical applications, at least documented in the international planning literature. With the subsequent evolution of planning theories, from the mid 1980s through to the turn of the century, and the emergence and steady dissemination of the collaborative planning paradigm, new and more complex methodologies have been proposed but, again, very few contributions can be traced in the planning literature of systematic applications in local planning departments or in independent planning research units. Everyone seems to agree that evaluation is an essential component of the planning process and an indispensable instrument to (re)design responsive planning policies. But, actually, very few invest their time and resources in systematic planning evaluation exercises geared towards the preparation and implementation of a particular land use plan or planning policy document, or towards the assessment of the role and overall performance of a particular regional or local …
