Resumo(s)
A Revolução Industrial teve efeitos profundos em todos os aspetos da sociedade. Um destes efeitos foi um nível de expansão urbana que nunca tinha sido visto antes, impulsionado por múltiplos fatores. No entanto, isto nem sempre foi feito ao serviço dos cidadãos comuns, e os governos frequentemente tiveram de fazer escolhas difíceis acerca das suas prioridades.
Esta problemática afeta inclusive a forma como os espaços urbanos públicos são geridos, e consequentemente a experiência dos seus utilizadores. Surge aqui a prática da Requalificação Urbana, cujo objetivo é o de, através de diversas intervenções, responder às preocupações dos cidadãos e valorizar a cidade económica, cultural e socialmente.
Estes projetos têm-se tornado cada vez mais comuns, incluindo em Portugal. Assim, surgem as questões desta dissertação: Que fatores e desafios estão subjacentes às intervenções de Requalificação Urbana? Qual a extensão e importância deste tipo de ações em Torres Vedras? Qual o grau de satisfação da população de Torres Vedras com a sua cidade e com as ações de Requalificação Urbana de que usufrui? As
intervenções da autarquia atenderam às preocupações e necessidades da população? São estas as principais questões a que se procura responder.
Através de uma revisão de literatura pretende-se enriquecer o conhecimento sobre que fatores dão mais qualidade aos espaços públicos (incluindo espaços verdes), o que serviu de base a um guião de entrevistas a técnicos da Câmara Municipal de Torres Vedras acerca dos esforços de Requalificação Urbana da cidade, e um conjunto de inquéritos direcionados à população da mesma, com o objetivo de captar as suas opiniões acerca de vários espaços públicos da cidade, que críticas têm acerca da mesma, e se se sentem
adequadamente servidos pela sua autarquia no que toca à política urbana.
O trabalho realizado permitiu concluir que a população de Torres Vedras tem opiniões bastante positivas acerca da política urbana e, em particular das intervenções de requalificação da sua cidade, mas também surgem críticas a alguns aspetos menos bem conseguidos dos projetos realizados.
The Industrial Revolution had profound effects on all aspects of society. One of these effects was an unprecedented level of urban expansion, driven by multiple factors. However, this wasn't always done in the service of common citizens, and governments often had to make difficult choices about their priorities. This issue even affects how public urban spaces are managed, and consequently, the experience of their users. This is where the practice of Urban Requalification comes into play, with the aim of addressing citizens' concerns and enhancing the city economically, culturally, and socially through various interventions. These projects have become increasingly common, including in Portugal. Thus, the questions of this dissertation arise: What underlying factors and challenges are associated with Urban Requalification interventions? What is the extent and importance of these types of actions in Torres Vedras? What is the level of satisfaction of the population of Torres Vedras with their city and the Urban Redevelopment actions they benefit from? Have the municipality's interventions addressed the concerns and needs of the population? These are the main questions being sought to be answered. Through a literature review, the goal is to enrich the knowledge about factors that enhance the quality of public spaces (including green spaces). This formed the basis for an interview script with professionals linked to the Torres Vedras Municipal Council about the efforts of Urban Requalification in the city. Additionally, a set of surveys targeted at the population of the city was conducted to capture their opinions on various public spaces, their criticisms of the city, and whether they feel adequately served by their government in terms of urban policy. The work carried out led to the conclusion that the population of Torres Vedras holds generally positive opinions about the urban policy and particularly about the requalification interventions in their city. However, criticisms also arise regarding some less successful aspects of the projects.
