Abstract(s)
O presente estudo exploratório aborda o futuro das cidades, os seus desafios e responsabilidades na garantia das condições necessárias para que seja possível proporcionar uma melhor qualidade de vida aos cidadãos.
A Cidade protagoniza o papel principal nesta proposta de repensar cidades, não fosse ela o cenário das nossas vidas, o motor da economia, a identidade de um povo e de uma história. Com este contributo pretende-se apresentar os diferentes cenários históricos a que a cidade tem estado exposta e as estratégias adotadas para que esta se adapte e prospere no seio da sociedade.
O contexto e a cronologia ambiental presentes neste estudo são introduzidos por um raciocínio dedutivo que inicia com uma perspetiva macro dos incidentes e desafios ambientais globais, no seu seguimento apresentam-se os principais marcos e iniciativas internacionais, que confirmam uma preocupação ambiental difundida mundialmente, e estreita para o panorama europeu onde a sustentabilidade urbana se destaca através de 3 importantes iniciativas da Comissão Europeia (Agenda21Local, Pacto dos Autarcas e o Prémio Capital Verde da Europa).
Dentro dos vários desafios de uma cidade, o seu desenvolvimento sustentável e a preservação da sua identidade, são os pontos escolhidos como prioritários na durabilidade e viabilidade de uma cidade. Os conceitos de Cidade Verde e Cidade Criativa são abordados com o propósito de transparecer a sua pertinência na resposta aos desafios anteriormente identificados.
As cidades de Hamburgo (Alemanha) e Nantes (França) foram selecionadas como casos práticos e expositivos de cidades europeias vanguardistas, que demonstram estar cientes da urgência que as cidades têm em adotar políticas e padrões comportamentais que estimulem o desenvolvimento sustentável, e da necessidade de se preservar a cultura e a identidade de uma cidade, evitando a homogeneização das culturas, consequência de uma sociedade cada vez mais globalizada.
The present exploratory study aims to raise awareness among readers about the future of the cities, leveraging the challenges and responsibilities of the cities to provide and maintain the necessary conditions in order to offer a better quality of life for its citizens. The City itself plays the leading role in this proposal to rethink cities not only because it is the scene of our lives but also the motor of the economy and the identity of a people and their history. This study aims to present the different historical scenarios to which cities have been exposed and the strategies that have been adopted in order of its adaptation and thriving in society. The environmental context and chronology are introduced by a deductive reasoning that starts with a macro perspective of global environment challenges and incidents which is followed by the presentation of the main international initiatives (confirming an environmental concern that is spreading worldwide). Finally we approach urban sustainability in the European scenario, lightened by 3 important initiatives of the European Commission (Local21Agenda, Covenant of Mayors and European Green Capital Award). Cities face a great number of challenges and we feel that sustainable development and identity preservation are the points chosen as priority in the durability and viability of the cities. The Green City and Creative City concepts are explored in order to disclose their relevance in the challenges identified above. The cities of Hamburg (Germany) and Nantes (France) we selected as practical examples of avant-garde european cities, which have proven to be more aware of the urgency in adopting policies and behavioral patterns that encourage the sustainable development, and the need to preserve the culture and the identity of the city itself in order to avoid the homogenization of the cultures in consequence of an increasingly globalized society.
