Class Urban Policies

Urbanism is consubstantiated on territorial policies, in the way that territorial plans come from political options. This CU is central to understanding the relation between chooses and decisions on the territory.

1. Introduction. National scales, regional and local: particularities of the territorial administration in Portugal; 2. Public Policies of territorial base: from PNOT to PP, from the region to the city;

3. Urban policies in Portugal: the case of the PROSIURB and POLIS programs;

4. Urban policies for promoting the economy: the case of PROCOM and URBCOM;

5. Housing urban policies: from social housing to PER families;

6. Urban policies for the revitalization of critical zones: the case of PIC URBAN;

7. The experience of 4 cycles of co-financed policy programming to the new paradigms of financing of public policies;

The preparation of a transversal work, common to most of the curricular units, which contains the particularities of each UC, is a practice that promotes a specific understanding of the subjects specific to each UC and knowledge of their relationships in the context of work in urban planning, preparing the student to solve complex problems. Seminar classes, where different lecturers address different topics in a coordinated manner, allow for a broader approach and the consolidation of more comprehensive knowledge in the fulfilment of the course programme.
