(English) The evolution of the urban form of the Plateau in Praia, Cape Verde
Abstract
An analysis of urban morphology of the historical nucleus (the Plateau) of Praia (Cape Verde)
highlights the process of thinking and making a city expressed in António de Lencastre 's plan
and its further development. For this, the processes of urban transformation occurring over
time in the Plateau are shown. The methodology used for this urban analysis allowed an
understanding of the intervention process on the Plateau through an interpretative analysis of
morphological evolution obtained from: i) a detailed identification of cartography; ii) a
comparative morphological analysis of urban development based on old and current
cartography; iii) a vectorization of the maps through scale normalization (the letters were
overlapped with the 2018 chart); iv) an identification of public buildings and public spaces; and
v) a quantification of the elements of urban form. In the quantification of the elements of the
urban form, the reading and interpretation of the different maps is synthesized through
analytical drawings and tables.
