Urban Project in Santa Apolónia Riverfront Spatial Continuities as Regenerative Processes EVALUATED

Detalhes: This thesis investigates and proposes a development plan for the Santa Apolonia area located in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. The development plan involves the area extending between the Santa Apolonia train station and the Xabregas suburb. With the urban expansion of the city of Lisbon, necessity dictates the development of underdeveloped district as that discussed by this thesis. The conversion of the Xabregas suburb into an industrial area lead to its isolation from the main urban fabric of the city of Lisbon. The task of developing this area into an urban zone that has high connectivity to the capital is challenging but nonetheless essential. Many obstacles present today in this region make this project nontrivial. The lack of urban infrastructure in this study zone in addition to the separation of this region by a highway and railway tracks are elements of the problem addressed by this thesis. These problems will be addressed and proper solution will be suggested within this development project. Infrastructure is a collective term for the systems and space of flows that provide the services of the city, such as transportation, water, energy, information, communication, and public spaces including green parks. Recently, there has been a strong focus on the architectural renewal of stations, bridges and terminals, but less emphasis on how these infrastructure systems interact with their local tissues. Spaces of flow can be studied using space syntax, which provide strategic and evidence-based consulting services in economics, planning, design, transportation and property development.
