  The materials of historical interest that build up the urban heritage: correlations, uses, landscapes

  Dossier temático nr. 16: Cadernos do arquivo municipal

  To this Thematic Dossier, we suggest to focus on these materials, having in mind the relation between built heritage, knowledge and society. It is proposed a multidisciplinary, wide and diversified approach of the various aspects that influence the patrimonial existence of cities. It aims to explore diversified aspects of mediation between these materials and cultural heritage. Thus, all are invited to present creative and original studies and reflections.

  Garden cities for the 21st century

  Valorization, preservation and challenges in France, Europe and the world

  The aim of this symposium is to put into perspective the different dimensions of a common heritage stemming from the garden city concept developed by Ebenezer Howard in 1898. An overview of the situation, a comparative approach and postulations on possible futures are expected. Four lines of thought and questioning are envisaged. The themes will transversally address the dimension of the built environment and the outdoor space, at different scales encompassing collective spaces of sociability, materiality of places, representations, practices, and so forth.

  Artisanal transport in African and Haitian cities

  “Gari” Journal, volume 1, issue 2 — Resarches and debates on African cities

  Dans de nombreuses métropoles d’Afrique, les transports collectifs institutionnels normatifs font défaut. Lorsqu’ils existent, ces derniers ne parviennent pas à répondre aux besoins escomptés des populations urbaines et rurales pour leurs déplacements quotidiens. Ainsi, l’absence, l’insuffisance ou l’inefficacité des transports en commun adaptés à la demande des populations sont compensées par des solutions non institutionnelles : ce sont les transports dits « artisanaux » qui comblent ces déficits et constituent l’unique offre de transport en commun accessible.
