Frederico Ressano Garcia - Urbanista e Político

Patrícia Gomes Lucas

«Como todos os Ressano Garcia, sempre tive a consciência de descender de um dos maiores urbanistas de Lisboa, mas foi a exposição na Gulbenkian em 1989 — «Lisboa de Frederico Ressano Garcia 1874-1909» — que me revelou a sua genialidade e me levaram a recolher documentação e patrocinar investigação sobre este meu admirável antepassado a que me sinto também ligado pela paixão por Lisboa. Espero que a presente biografia estimule o aprofundamento de alguns aspetos menos conhecidos da sua obra, nomeadamente como engenheiro e professor, e como político e responsável pelo Ultramar, numa época particularmente conturbada e condicionante do futuro de Portugal, onde, em Moçambique, uma cidade recorda o seu nome.

«The theatres, galleries and other buildings owned or operated by the UK’s cultural organisations are essential national assets. They are also widely energy inefficient, ageing and in need of capital investment. Research commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) estimates the total value of necessary repair, maintenance and renewal work for public and third-sector cultural infrastructure in England alone is £7 billion – a scale of need that cannot currently be met by public funding alone.

This report provides evidence on real world energy and cost savings as well as the return on investment (ROI) from cultural retrofitting projects. It also identifies barriers and enablers of project success, to support understanding among cultural organisations, policymakers and funders involved in delivering these projects. Lastly, it explores whether the available returns could support a coordinated, strategic investment approach that could expedite projects and create scale in the level of funding available.

This research project was conceived by Figurative, a new, independent charity dedicated to supporting impact, investment and innovation in the cultural and creative sector, in partnership with Renew Culture, the organisation behind Theatre Green Book and Arts Green Book; Buro Happold, engineering and sustainability consultants; and MGAC, building consultants and quantity surveyors.

This report was co-commissioned and jointly developed by Arts Council England and the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre». Reproduzido daqui.

Densificando, ilustrando

«More than half of the world’s population lives in cities, and many urbanites reside in one of the 33 “megacities” with at least 10 million inhabitants. Urbanization can threaten the quality of life, but cities also provide the testbeds needed to come up with related solutions. Cities everywhere were dramatically impacted by COVID-19, and It will only be through the collective efforts of governments, the private sector, and the public - and by harnessing transformative technologies - that we will we be able to rebuild in ways that realize their true potential.

This briefing is based on the views of a wide range of experts from the World Economic Forum’s Expert Network and is curated in partnership with Dr. Harvey Neo, Dr. John Powers, Mr. Poon King Wang, and Prof. Chan Heng Chee from the Lee Kuan Yew Center for Innovative Cities, Singapore University of Technology and Design.
