The 5th Brazil-Portugal Colloquium “Urban Peripheries in the Metropolitan Areas of Portugal and Brazil: the last 30 years” will take place on October 13 and 14, at Técnico – Alameda Campus (Civil Engineering building). This event is part of a series of activities carried out for about three decades between Brazilian and Portuguese universities.
The seminar “Viver (n)a Periferia” (“Living (n)the Periphery”), organised in 1990 by IST/CESUR (now integrated into CERIS) , ISCTE/CES and PUC/São Paulo, and held at Amadora (municipality of the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon), was the beginning of an institutional partnership that allowed to develop and strength academic ties and progressively include other important partners, such as the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, from 2000, and recently the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning (IGOT) and the Faculty of Architecture at Universidade de Lisboa.
The first Brazil-Portugal Colloquium, held in 2008, in São Paulo, at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, helped consolidate this partnership, and became a regular event capable of bringing together other experts, in addition to institutional partners, to reflect both on the theme of urban transformations and new urban strategies for Brazilian and Portuguese cities.
The 5th Brazil-Portugal Colloquium, on the theme “Urban Peripheries in the Metropolitan Areas of Portugal and Brazil: the last 30 years”, aims to revisit the theme of the urban peripheries, three decades after the first seminar.
Thus, we celebrate the beginning of these partnerships addressing the urban expansion, with particular emphasis on Lisbon and São Paulo.
Attendance is free. Registration is required.
