Assuming the importance of public space design in implementation effective adaptation action towards urban flooding, this paper identifies and systematizes a wide range flood measures pertinent to spaces. It presents findings from both systematic literature review an empirical analysis retrieved concrete precedents. concludes with presentation conceptual framework that organizes identified accordance their main, secondary, infrastructural strategies. The intention behind disclosed is aid...

Urban public space is extraordinarily adaptable under a pattern of relatively stable changes. However, when facing unprecedented and potentially extreme climatic changes, spaces may not have the same adaptation capacity. In this context, planned gains strength against “business as usual”. While are among most vulnerable areas to hazards, they entail relevant characteristics for efforts. As such, design can lead effective undertakings, explicitly influencing urban practices we know them....

Today, although most of the international research community considers climate change adaptation to be essential, there is limited knowledge on its concrete integration with contemporary placemaking. Yet, emergence agenda, effects urban climatology are continually coercing need for action increase climatic responsiveness environments. This article constructed upon a "Research Design" approach, and focuses improving design guidelines by reviewing existing theoretical/empirical how pedestrian...

Over the last decade, soft planning has become an increasingly visible concept in literature. Since term spaces was firstly coined, been used to describe a growing number of practices that occur at margins statutory systems. However, as planning-related literature proliferates, so does diversity approaches and it encompasses. Such fuels long-standing questions about what can or cannot be considered well its usefulness for today’s theory practice. To shed light on this still unclear...

With the emergence of third technological cycle, we have witnessed gradual functional obsolescence large industrial complexes inherited from second industrialization, some which located on waterfronts. Given their particularities, regeneration processes these brownfield sites face complex challenges, in addition to those placed upon first generation port/industrial areas. Based case study Tagus Estuary (Portugal), this article aims understand, systematise and discuss challenges barriers...

A “Conceptual Framework of flood adaptation measures applicable in the design public spaces” was previously created with objective increasing rate successful endeavors, fulfill municipal goals for more adaptive cities and facilitate initial brainstorming phases a space process. This research aims to assess relevance applicability this Conceptual on particular context Lisbon. The paper starts by demonstrating city’s existing vulnerabilities projected climate change scenarios, where it is...

In recent years, cruise tourism has increased the negative effects caused by touristification in many European port cities. Despite this, these cities are a great competition to be destination, tourist-port. Cruise come stay, and steady growth can expected post-COVID-19 scenario, but at what cost? The tourist-port demands highly effective planning answers occurring simultaneously, global pandemic crisis provides buffer of time seek best practices, combining economical (re)development with...

Divided by interdisciplinary realms of application, both climate change and urbanism are ultimately bound together cause-and-effect in our ever mutable cities. Although suggested that cities changing faster than Mankind have been able to adjust out thinking, the yearly dissemination scientific data on climatic is continually improving efficiency tackle new looming paradigms. Respectively, it considered encounters its greatest opportunities this uncertain 'third modernity', where flexible...

The relationships Malaga has established with its port have changed over the centuries, conjuring up a variety of scenarios and circumstances. past present are closely linked phenomena in this case study where porosity port‐city fabric marked city’s development constitutes key issue current future challenges it faces. provides particularly interesting example post‐industrial city that reopened to inhabitants’ acclaim while maintaining activity. However, growth tourism seen recent years come...

If delta and estuary areas are observed under the perspective of a double system dynamic infrastructures, object parallel “water/urbanisation” processes, interface spaces become key nodes. In this perspective, port waterfront can be described as mediation. The article argues that in case Lisbon Tagus, possibly several other cities, these edge “fluid territories.” pre-eminent characteristic territories” is they not permanent, neither space nor time. These present accelerated transformations,...

Most port cities have a long history of investment in the waterfront, adapting these spaces to improve quality life its inhabitants and increase tourist interest city, 50-year process waterfront regeneration that started late 1960s. Even though one drivers development today’s continues be transfer knowledge experiences between different cases, not all achieved their goals, nor done so sustainable way. This article exposes new methodology, motivated by need carry out comparative study good...

The cosmetic industry has a history of constant modernization, with products that are increasingly sustainable and well tolerated by the customers. In last years, growing understanding knowledge potential marine species, as application “blue biotechnology” have been motivating new innovative solutions in this area. Marine organisms important sources compounds may be applicable cosmetics, biological activities include depigmentant, anti-aging or anti-bacterial properties, specifically against...

The impact of sea-level rise on coastal towns is expected to be a major challenge, with millions people exposed. climate-induced risk assessment areas subject flooding plays an essential role in planning effective measures for adaptation plans. However, European legislation, as well the regional plans adopted by member states, there no clear reference urban settlement, this concept variable and difficult categorise from policy perspective. This lack knowledge makes it complicated implement...
