As ruas emergentes: um estudo comparativo da parcela em formações lineares no contexto metropolitano de Lisboa

Abstract

In some urban contexts, where fabric is fragmented and relations of contiguity between urban layouts were broken, mobility infrastructures have played a role in the aggregation and inter-relationship of fabrics. The infrastructure, mainly roads, thereby incorporated skills it didn’t possess in its conceptual genesis. Thus, besides the quality of connection axis, various mobility infrastructures assumed the function of fabric support axis. These urban elements acquire emerging configurations, leading to a meditation on the traditional concept street. Thus, the article specifically explores the urban morphology of these urban elements surrounding plots, understanding their relationship with the infrastructural axis, configurations and morphogenetic process. This particular morphological approach fits into the work of a PhD in progress, with the theme "The Emerging Streets. Morphological interpretation of a new urban element", which studies the emerging type-morphologies of a set of linear elements located in urban metropolitan contexts. Looking to refocus thinking of these structuring urban elements, as well as the role of the Street and their new configurations in contemporary urban development processes.
