As cities become more populous and diverse, improving our understanding of the urban landscape is becoming increasingly important. All@CityScape aims to leverage digitalization to develop scientifically sound methodologies based on the concept of Landscape Identity to support innovative transformations in public space in response to demographic dynamics and the risk of social exclusion.

UrbanFrictions project explores the theme of algorithmic frictions experienced by users of digital platforms, through the case of workers and consumers of delivery platforms in Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA). On-demand delivery platforms are clearly spreading and directly interfere in urban space and in the subjects’ possibilities of action, emerging as central mediators of consumption and work. It is crucial to explore the algorithmic frictions experienced by their users. There is a gap in the literature on how subjects' socio-spatial practices and relationships are mediated by the platforms, as well as how this experience emerges in asymmetrical power relations, with various frictional dimensions.

The Amendoeiras neighbourhood in Lisbon, also known as Chelas Zone I, was subject to extensive squatting in the wake of the 1974 revolution, whose occupants completed its construction. This territory thus provides a unique lens to analyse personal and collective agency and citizen participation in the revolution context, including the specific role played by women. Understanding the economic, political and social dynamics of these 50 years of life in democracy from the perspective of homes and their squatters is doubly significant: i) as a target of collective action that illustrates the spirit of the revolution, homes are a privileged material, historical and symbolic archive to analyse the socioeconomic changes that took place in society; ii) as elements of connection to the neighbourhood and the urban territory, homes are also key elements to frame the political, societal, generational and gender participation of individuals.

Program and monitoring of scientific and technological research activities for master's students, integrated into the international project “F-Atlas | Franciscan Landscapes” and in “COST ACTION CA18214 - The geography of New Workspaces and the impact on the periphery”. SUMMER WITH SCIENCE is a special support for scientific and technological research activities in R&D units to boost scientific and technological capacity and its relationship with higher education and society. The program provided for the funding of 11 research initiation grants for a period of one month, with an amount of €5303.32, from funds from the State Budget.

The main objectives of the Cascais Ageing project were to develop a study, a strategic framework, and an action plan focused on ageing, old age, and social policies in the municipality of Cascais. The process involved broad participation from experts, practitioners, and citizens—even amid the challenging context of the pandemic. Grounded in action research and co-construction as core methodological approaches, the project was also informed by the principles of critical gerontology. It adopted concepts that reject the notion of ageing and old age as merely a burden to be carried by the "active" segment of society. Instead, the project emphasizes the importance of recognizing the diversity of ageing experiences and advocates for public policies that promote new paradigms—ones that integrate the challenges of sustainable local economic development while fostering inclusion and caring relationships.

Assessment of the implementation of the “STRATEGIC PLAN FOR CINEMA AND INDEPENDENT AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCTION 2014-2018”; and updated diagnosis of the Portuguese cinema and audiovisual sector, based on consultation with the respective agents and dialogue with the sector, which may be useful for the ICA to use within the scope of the 2021-2025 strategic plan.

Project partners are gathered in Southern Coalition, an initiative targeting at strengthening the arts and culture in Southern European countries, especially focusing on participatory approaches and capacity-building. It gathers 14 organizations from 10 countries: all to some extent identifying with a loosely defined ‘Southern Europe’, all committed to foster local community engagement in the arts and all devoted to overcoming the obstacles in their specific contexts by increasing mutual cooperation. It is mainly a cultural concept instead of a geographical one, where “South” is broadly understood. It refers particularly to those affected by the political and economic crisis, interested in collaborative strategies based on a set of common values and needs that derive specifically from working in the peripheries. Although in different ways, all the countries involved in the project share common challenges: • unstable cultural policy contexts; • vulnerable ecosystems, in which arts organizations cope with less funding, face bureaucratic obstacles and are generally severely under-resourced for the work they carry out; • widespread need for professional training in the sector and capacity-building schemes that enhance the sustainability of the sector; • a lack of knowledge of audiences needs results in low audience numbers; • shrinking of funds for artistic production, replaced by instrumental funding for social programs: • a sense of being ‘peripheral’, with distinct implications in different cases: because the country is a small economy, because of their geo-political situation or because they work in rural areas or in territories marked by strong inequalities. Southern Coalition has identified 3 main areas of action to be tackled in the project Stronger Peripheries: collaborative strategies, capacity-building and cultural policies. Its priorities are supporting training, audience development, and inclusive cultural policies in the periphery.

Procur.arte is the coordinating entity of PARALLEL - European Photo Based Platform, a European project supported by the Creative Europe programme, which gathers cultural agents interested in promoting tutorials and cultural crossings, with the aim of creating a new standard in contemporary photography. DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte (ISCTE) is responsible for a follow-up study on the implementation of each cycle of the PARALLEL - European Photo Based Platform, based on a continuous annual monitoring of its activities. Monitoring PARALLELL I refers to the monitoring of the 2nd annual cycle of implementation of PARALLEL.

This project focuses on the discussion of contemporary territorial development processes, assuming as empirical object the "Margem Sul" area of Tejo River as a periphery of the Lisbon metropolitan area, aiming to explore the potential of territorial innovation dynamics and its contribution to development, through the co-creation of knowledge involving artists, local communities and researchers in collaborative artistic laboratories. The project is composed of two major dimensions: First, a broad ongoing diagnosis of "Margem Sul" through less conventional data sources and methodologies, in order to draw a transdisciplinary picture of the area's "zeitgeist". The aim is to establish a common base of knowledge of the territory and its representations, which can be actively explored and worked as a toolbox for research, policymaking and artistic creativity. Secondly, a set of 4 case studies (representing a typology of peripheral metropolitan spaces of "Margem Sul"), will be developed through 8 urban interventions that will test and trigger the various dimensions of sustainable development in practice (i.e. economic efficiency, social equity,

The RESHAPE project is co-financed by the Europa Criativa programme, which gathers 13 European partners, including ARTEMREDE, and 6 Associate partners. The RESHAPE project aims to develop prototypes of alternative and innovative organizational models and tools to support artists and cultural professionals. To achieve this, the RESHAPE project will work with representatives of organizations, initiatives and projects that are already experimenting with alternative models in their context, but without visibility and support. RESHAPE will give them time, space and resources to propose creative, feasible and sustainable instruments to support artists, in line with the sector's practices and values. In addition, RESHAPE is committed to promoting new solutions among policy makers and the international artistic sector. RESHAPE identified 5 major challenges for the arts industry. After an open call, a group was created for each of these 5 challenges / trajectories, responsible for proposing creative, concrete, realistic and sustainable solutions for a given challenge. Each group will work for 12 to 18 months, participating in 3 workshops per trajectory, 2 Intensive meetings, 1 initial Forum and a final conference. Therefore, each Trajectory will be led by an investigator-facilitator, responsible for leading the group in the search for solutions, ensuring the continuity of the discussion, promoting collective work and helping in the production of results. Trajectory No. 3, entitled 'The value of art in the social fabric: how to encourage understanding and promote the value of art in the social fabric?', is coordinated by ARTEMREDE, but it is a research group promoted by DINÂMIA'CET (Iscte).

The research project called 'Grand Projects - Architectural and Urbanistic Operations after the 1998 Lisbon World Exposition' aims at identifying, characterizing, debating, and reflecting the urban policies and architectural works produced in Portugal after the 1998 Lisbon World Exposition (Expo98). The study is grounded on the conviction that the effects of this 'urban laboratory' cannot dispense a predominantly analytical and interpretative work, capable of mapping and qualifying the urban, projectual, and technological culture implemented in Portugal in the two decades that followed the Expo98 ventures. In 2008, a decade past over the Lisbon Exposition, the Lisbon Municipality presented its 'General Plan for Waterfront Interventions' (Plano Geral de Intervenções da Frente Ribeirinha - PGIFR), aiming at establishing new urban continuities, by extending the model of the exposition from the West part of the city to the East (between the Trancão River and the Pedrouços dock), through the adaptation of some harbor infrastructure under the state administration. The dynamics generated by PGIFR framed the development of projects of both great scale and major strategic importance, e.g., the Champalimaud Foundation in Pedrouços district, designed by Charles Correa (1930-2015); the National Coach Museum in Belém area, designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha (b. 1928); the EDP Headquarters at Boavista embankment, by Manuel (b. 1963) and Francisco (b.1964) Aires Mateus; the Ribeira das Naus public space, by João Ferreira Nunes (b.1960) and João Gomes da Silva (b.1962); or the future Cruise Terminal in Santa Apolónia, by Carrilho da Graça (b.1952), currently under construction. The research project 'Grand Projects - Architectural and Urbanistic Operations after the 1998 Lisbon World Exposition' seeks to deepen the relations produced by urban interventions with specific contexts in which they operate on. The distinctive feature of this project consists in the launching of a critical ...

Patrocinado pelo Município de Grândola, o projecto de investigação-acção “Um Monumento para o Lousal” visa homenagear esta comunidade, investindo na valorização identitária do seu território através da Arte Pública. Trata-se de um processo de co-produção artística desenvolvido ao longo de várias sessões de trabalho entre uma equipa interdisciplinar de investigadores e a comunidade local, com o objectivo de projectar em conjunto e de raiz, três esculturas para a aldeia. Neste contexto, a Arte Pública assume-se não só como ferramenta de diálogo com o território e as memórias colectivas, mas também como elemento de valorização de um património material e imaterial identificador do Ser e do Saber Fazer das gentes do Lousal. Em 2018 concluiu-se o processo criativo que conduziu à elaboração de várias propostas escultóricas, sujeitas posteriormente à votação. Serão construídos e instalados de forma faseada os três projectos mais votados (1º em Maio 2019 e 3º em 2021).

The overall objective of the European project 4H-CREAT is to improve cooperation between public, private and research and development (R&D) actors in order to foster innovation, capacity building and innovation knowledge in the cultural and creative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Specifically, the project will develop several activities, including a transnational knowledge transfer model, to facilitate the application of R&D results to SMEs in the cultural and creative industries, thus promoting innovation through the collaborative paradigm of the four-helix, which involves the participation of end users through co-creation and co-design processes.   Co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the INTERREG Atlantic Area Cooperation Program 2014-2020, and with a total budget of € 1,749,825, the 4H-CREAT project has an European partnership consisting of seven institutions: Glasgow Caledonian University (Parceiro líder), ISCTE – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (DINÂMIA’CET), Cámara Oficial de Comercio, Industria y Navegación de Sevilla, Etablissement Public d’Aménagement Bordeaux - Euratlantique, Laval Mayenne Technopole, Limerick Institute of Technology, and Fundación Municipal de Cultura del Ayuntamiento de Avilés.

In recent years the entire legal and regulatory basis of the Portuguese Planning System underwent an ambitious and far reaching reform. However, today like in the past, the major effort in the production of new legislation and regulation was not accompanied by a similar effort in the production of planning doctrine, here understood as a vast and coherent set of planning policies and implementation measures, able to improve, from a technical and scientific point of view, and under an evidence based approach, not only the quality of planning practice but also, and foremost,its proactive role, incorporating new and emerging topics and societal challenges and concerns, promoting change and opening new transition avenues into the future. This proactive role of planning, advocated here, contrasts with its traditional conservative standing in Portugal (and in other EU Member States), of looking backwards and passively accommodating, if not slowing down, change and the social and physical reform of our cities and metropolises.   Planning can, and should, constitute a transformative device in our cities in Europe and elsewhere, particularly in the present times and with a view into the long term. Indeed, current changes seem far more deep within the existing urban tissues experiencing profound recompositions of functions and activities, than in physical terms, strictly speaking,where past investments in infrastructures and in the built environment seemed to have exceeded the real demand and generated a surplus of the building stock that, some years later, still remains partially empty or underused.   The Spatial Planning for Change (SPLACH) programme draws on some of the main areas of knowledge of thre eresearch centres CITTA, DINÂMIA'CET-IUL and GOVCOPP. Two to three main areas of knowledge were identified for each centre: post carbon cities, transformative policies, spatial planning, socio-technical system, food security,services of general interest, tourism and modeli...

CREATOUR is an incubator/demonstration and multidisciplinary research initiative, supporting collaborative research processes. The three-year project aims to connect the cultural/creative and tourism sectors through the development of an integrated research and application approach to catalyzing creative tourism in small cities and rural areas throughout Portugal.Creative tourism involves active learning experiences enabling self-expression and creative skill development, with a more extensive relationship between tourism and creative industries emerging, and with platforms making the distribution of this content possible. An essential feature in this process is the firm link of creativity to place and its embeddedness in the local milieu, promoting the visitor an immersion experience within the local culture and local institutions and generating economic and social added value to the region.

It is a network project based on an international partnership of some 20 organisations from 11 different countries. Its main purpose is to carry out artistic interventions in public spaces through contemporary photography. The Project encourages artists to create new interpretations of the urban terrain, having the concept of flâneur as a starting point and considering the physical context of the city as a social kaleidoscope in constant evolution. Besides the art projects and interventions in the public space, Flâneur is comprised of several other dimensions brought to light in workshops, masterclasses, artistic residences, creative camps and conferences – initiatives intended to foster a critical analysis of contemporary photography and contribute to a discussion about the public space as a social territory. During its two year span, Flâneur will be represented in the 13 partner cities. The artwork is created by photographers invited to pursue artistic residences in each city, as well as local photographers, thus mixing outside and inside point of views, and it’s further complemented by the artwork produced in ateliers open to local residents. The work created in all these cities is presented in photo exhibitions in public spaces, bringing to the squares, parks and streets pieces of artwork, which would normally be enclosed in museums and galleries. It’s, at the same time, a process of deconstruction and democratisation of art enjoyment, sharing it with a heterogeneous audience. The exhibition display, based on modular backlit structures, allows for a specific design in each of the different spaces. The display itself becomes a replication of the city, open and accessible 24 hours a day. Flâneur generates a transversal overview of the different social dynamics which are the fabric of the urban territories. The peculiarity of this particular “portrait” is the fact that it’s produced by a broad and diverse group of creators, who, with a common theme, take a fresh lo...

Project goals were to analyze: 1) the regulatory framework of Volunteerism in SCML (assumptions, principles, objectives, expectations; 2) the degree of implementation of the principles and objectives underlying the implementation of the Voluntary Service in SCML (strengths and weaknesses, difficulties and obstacles, articulation with other internal services, 'good practices', innovation factors; 3.) the organizational and procedural models adopted (factors of effectiveness and efficiency, degree of satisfaction; 4) the results and actual Impacts of the Volunteer Service in the different areas of SCML intervention (results, degrees of satisfaction, confrontation with initial expectations; 5) to produce Strategic Recommendations. Methodology was based on a quantitative approach, which will make it possible to characterize motivations, satisfaction levels, constraints, expectations, perception of results and impacts, etc., of the various stakeholders within the scope of the project (Beneficiaries, Volunteers and the Services of SCML itself). Also, there was an approach of a qualitative nature, by means of which the knowledge relating to each of the dimensions of analysis is comprehensively explored. In this case, in addition to the framework of the Beneficiaries, Volunteers and Services of the SCML, a phase is also proposed to collect information with the beneficiaries' families.

Contributing to the production of regular results on the organization and work of artistic structures, improve the ex ante tools for policy evaluation and better inform decisions. The aim is to: - Analyze the functioning of the creative structures supported by DGArtes, their dynamics of artistic work, their logics of organization and the distribution and territorial impact of their activity; - Regularly monitor all information on structures in order to provide ongoing feedback to stakeholders and the general public (by promoting the accountability of DGArtes activity); - Promote an informed reflection on the design of public policies (equating and discussing possible criteria to be adopted for the logics of public funding to the artistic sector).

This project sought to collect, analyze and provide a detailed set of information on the projects financed by the “Programa de Desenvolvimento Comunitário para a Mouraria”, ultimately aiming at an integrated analysis of the PDCM, its implementation and functioning as well as the objectives achieved in this phase of work: "the individual and comparative analysis should focus on each project in relation to the achievement of the proposed objectives and the contribution of each of them to the results of each and each axis in relation to the general objectives of the PDCM."
