Discrete Landscapes in Metropolitan Lisbon: Open Space as a Planning Resource in Times of Latency

João Rafael Santos

Planning Practice & Research, 2017, vol. 32, issue 1, 4-28

Abstract: In a context of changing trends in metropolitan spatial development, associated with economic latency and a slow-down in large urban and infrastructural projects, Lisbon's territory provides an ideal test-bed for alternative approaches to urban planning. Landscape and open space play an increasingly meaningful role in local planning policies, which engage municipalities and multiple actors in partnership projects. Three cases are discussed as examples of a changing attitude towards lighter and discrete interventions, focused on linking patches of fragmented landscape, by reframing planning and delivery schemes and engaging with the community and immaterial qualities.
