Time-Space: Space, Time and the Contemporary Urban Condition
Time-Space: Space, Time and the Contemporary Urban Condition
1. Broad perspectives:
. The main analytical perspective relates to time in daily neighbourhood life - and to different ranges and types of influence, both upwards (city/metropolis), and downwards (the street, shops, housing, individual social types).
. Time-space, as the term is normally used in geography in the sense of times (days, weeks etc) relating to individuals or families in the city, will be used to focus on and analyse this material in a more empirical manner (trends among individual residents and users city spaces). This will provide the central methodology for gaining a better understanding of types of space-time in URBAN TERRITORIES and they way they change.
. The main aim is to focus on territories (as one of the bases of social life) - in the sense in which they depend on TEMPORALITIES and the RELATIONSHIPS between them.
2. Reason for the project:
. Global trends towards the acceleration of daily life (work, leisure, relationships etc.)
. Major changes in urban spaces
. Major changes in space-time relationships
. Studies of Lisbon and the Lisbon Metropolitan Area: new dynamics and new rhythms
3. Main project questions
3.1. What conjugations are their between spatial scales and time scales? What are the relational densities?
3.2. How can these conjugations be measured? How can space-time in the contemporary city be read and interpreted? What are the key variables in the containment/extension of space-time in the city?
3.3. What influences and what is influenced by ways of living in the city? What influences and what is influenced by urban social and economic development and emancipation? The relationship with concepts such as: proximity, mobility, daily life, depopulation, rehabilitation, gentrification and revitalisation.
4. Broad times and short times
5. Central elements:
a. Times in the Habitat/Neighbourhood
i. The Neighbourhood in Daily Life
ii. The Neighbourhood in the City and in Time
b. The Times of Daily Life
i. Daily Life and the Individual (in the Neighbourhood/in the City)
ii. Daily Life in the Neighbourhood/in the City
6. What is the importance of urban management and government? What is its importance to urban planning?
