Introduction
D
ue to all its exuberance, the City of Rio de Janeiro
is recognized all over the world. It has become a
landmark because of its beautiful natural settings,
enriched by the works of a part of humanity that has the
gift of creating and sculpting the most diverse charming
environments: our architects. UNESCO and the International
Union of Architects (UIA) granted this city, which is one
of the most famous on the planet, the first title of World
Capital of Architecture.

Rio Capital Mundial da Arquitetura UNESCO.UIA
O
título de Capital Mundial da Arquitetura, concedido
pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Edu-
cação, Ciência e Cultura (Unesco) e União Interna-
cional dos Arquitetos (UIA) pela primeira vez à cidade que
sediará o 27º Congresso Mundial de Arquitetos – UIA 2021
Rio – Todos os Mundos, um só Mundo, Arquitetura 21, trou-
xe ao Município do Rio e ao Instituto de Arquitetos do Bra-
sil (IAB), grande honra e responsabilidade, como entidades
corresponsáveis pela execução do programa.
O plano de trabalho elaborado em 2018, em conjunto
com o Comitê Executivo do 27º Congresso Mundial de Ar-
quitetos, e o apoio do IAB-DN, IAB-RJ, CAU BR, CAU RJ,
FNA, ABEA, AsBEA, ABAP e ANPARQ1, tem como princi-
pais objetivos a disseminação da cultura arquitetônica, a
promoção de reflexões sobre os 17 Objetivos do Desenvol-
vimento Sustentável da Organização das Nações Unidas e
o estímulo ao turismo e ao desenvolvimento da cidade, do
Estado do Rio de Janeiro e do Brasil.
O Rio de Janeiro, assim como outras metrópoles mundiais,
apresenta inúmeros desafios de gestão urbana, servindo
como referência para o principal legado a ser alcançado: o
da mudança na abordagem das autoridades e da sociedade
em relação à arquitetura, ao urbanismo e ao paisagismo para
a construção de cidades mais sustentáveis e igualitárias.
Para o desenvolvimento e execução do plano de trabalho
foi formada em maio de 2019 uma estrutura de governan-
ça, com o comitê conjunto UNESCO.UIA, presidido pelo ar-
quiteto francês Dominique Perrault. Sob este comitê, está
o Conselho Rio 2020, presidido pelo prefeito da Cidade do
Rio de Janeiro, com a participação de diversos gestores de
órgãos municipais, representantes de entidades de classe -
UIA, IAB, Comitê Executivo do 27º Congresso Mundial de
Arquitetos, Conselho de Arquitetura e Urbanismo - CAU,
Federação Nacional de Arquitetos - FNA, além das áreas
de cultura do Governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e do
Governo Federal.

O Conselho Rio 2020, de participação honorífica, tem
como atribuições a aprovação da programação geral e a
proposição de atividades para incentivar e dar visibilidade
à programação relativa ao Rio Capital Mundial da Arquite-
tura UNESCO.UIA.
A coordenação e operacionalização do programa ficou
a cargo do Comitê Organizador, com uma diretoria exe-
cutiva e três subcomitês matriciais – de Programação, de
Fomento e Comunicação e de Administração e Logística,
formados por representantes de diversos órgãos munici-
pais, do IAB e do 27º Congresso Mundial de Arquitetos.
As estratégias firmadas em 2019 pelo Comitê Organi-
zador para alcançar os objetivos propostos no programa
foram: o lançamento, em novembro, de um Edital de Cha-
mamento Público de Projetos Culturais, com apoio insti-
tucional para pessoas físicas e jurídicas, como meio de
fomentar a participação da sociedade civil; a formulação
e divulgação de conteúdos através de uma rede de we-
bsites e redes sociais próprios e de entidades parceiras;
além da divulgação do título e das propostas em diversos
fóruns de discussões e canais relacionados a urbanismo,
patrimônio histórico e turismo.
A celebração da cidade como Capital Mundial da Arqui-
tetura foi oficialmente aberta no Réveillon 2019 – 2020 na
Praia de Copacabana, quando foi feito o anúncio do título
para mais de dois milhões de pessoas ao vivo e outras cen-
tenas de milhões através de transmissões de Tv e internet.
No início do ano, antes que o novo coronavírus se alas-
trasse no Brasil e na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, foi possível a
realização de importantes eventos – exposições, lançamen-
tos de livros, seminários – inscritos no Edital de Chama-
mento Público de Projetos Culturais. Em fevereiro, durante
o Carnaval, três escolas de samba do Grupo Especial des-
filaram no Sambódromo com temas relacionados à arqui-
tetura, urbanismo e direito à moradia, alcançando ampla
repercussão mundial.
No mesmo mês, foi realizada uma apresentação dos tra-
balhos desenvolvidos e das propostas para todo o ano de
celebração do título na sede da UNESCO, para represen-
tantes de seus países membros, com o objetivo de ampliar
9
propostas internacionais ao longo do ano.
No início de março de 2020, quando a Organização
Mundial de Saúde (OMS) classificou o estado de difusão
da doença causada pelo novo coronavírus como pande-
mia, já havia mais de 300 projetos culturais inscritos no
Edital de Chamamento Público e a repercussão do título
vinha se ampliando, assim como as parcerias institucio-
nais para se formar uma grande rede de divulgação e
programação cultural.
Toda essa mobilização precisou ser revista quando, em
13 de março de 2020, foi reconhecida pelas autoridades a
situação de emergência em saúde pública no Estado e no
Município do Rio de Janeiro, levando a população a perma-
necer em quarentena por longos meses, o cancelamento
de eventos presenciais, voos internacionais e ao adiamen-
to do 27º Congresso Mundial de Arquitetos para o ano se-
guinte, com a previsão de realização de 18 a 22 de julho de
2021. Todos tiveram que se reinventar, e as prioridades e a
atenção de todos voltaram-se para a luta diária pela cura
das inúmeras pessoas contaminadas pelo novo coronavírus
e pela busca de vacinas para atender à demanda universal.
O cotidiano da população mundial passou por transfor-
mações repentinas e extremas, repercutindo no debate so-
bre o futuro das cidades pós-pandemia, evocando apostas
sobre as mudanças na arquitetura, nos espaços públicos,
na mobilidade, nas densidades urbanas, nas relações cam-
po-cidade e na revisão total de necessidades e prioridades,
tanto no espaço material, quanto virtual.
A programação do Rio Capital Mundial da Arquitetura
UNESCO.UIA também se reinventou. Tendo em vista que a
maioria dos eventos chancelados foram adiados ou cancela-
dos, o foco da mídia voltado exclusivamente à cobertura do
novo coronavírus e a propagação de debates on-line, foram
criados estímulos para que o edital de chamamento público
aberto recebesse novas programações, incluindo webinars
e lives. Reforçou-se também a produção de conteúdo jorna-
lístico exclusivo, ligado aos grandes temas de 2020 e à no-
meação de Rio Capital Mundial da Arquitetura: arquitetura,
pandemia, meio ambiente e sustentabilidade das cidades,
patrimônio histórico e identidade cultural.
10
Desta forma, através do website bilíngue capitalmundial-
daarquitetura.rio, formou-se uma grande rede de discus-
são destes temas, com conteúdo novo, atualizado quase
que diariamente, trazendo a colaboração de professores
universitários, estudantes, pesquisadores, profissionais de
escritórios e servidores públicos de todo o Brasil em en-
trevistas e depoimentos. Entre março e agosto, os grandes
temas se revezaram nas matérias especiais, concomitan-
temente com a divulgação de eventos do Edital de Cha-
mamento Público que passaram a ser realizados de forma
virtual, e das colunas especiais do website.
A partir de julho, o conteúdo do website passou a ser di-
vulgado nas redes sociais próprias – Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, ampliando o alcance de leitores.
Em seguida, em parceria com a Multirio, Empresa Munici-
pal de Multimeios, iniciou-se a veiculação nas redes sociais
de um jogo de cartões relacionado à divulgação de con-
teúdo educativo sobre o patrimônio histórico da cidade,
amplamente visualizado por estudantes da rede pública
municipal de ensino.
Tão rica foi a experiência com o website que decidimos
transformar em ebooks o conteúdo principal produzido, di-
vidido em seis volumes, que poderão ser baixados separa-
damente de acordo com cada coluna: O Meu Rio, Prospec-
tivas, Ações Frente à Pandemia, Práticas Sustentáveis, Olhar
Sobre o Patrimônio e Programação do Rio Capital Mundial
da Arquitetura UNESCO UIA.
Estavam previstos novos temas de matérias especiais
vinculados aos grupos de trabalho da União Internacional
de Arquitetos a partir de setembro, assim como novas co-
lunas para o website, envolvendo cidades de todo o mun-
do que sediaram os congressos mundiais de arquitetos
anteriormente. Devido ao período pré-eleitoral, houve a
interrupção da veiculação do website, redes sociais e di-
vulgação da programação entre 15 de agosto e o fim das
eleições municipais.
Junto com o retorno progressivo previsto das atividades
presenciais no Rio de Janeiro, Brasil e no mundo, a partir
de dezembro de 2020 se inicia uma nova fase da progra-
mação do Rio Capital Mundial da Arquitetura UNESCO.UIA
11
até julho de 2021, quando haverá a passagem do título para
Copenhagen, no encerramento do 27º Congresso Mundial
de Arquitetos – UIA 2021 Rio.
Por meio das iniciativas realizadas e previstas para ocor-
rerem no primeiro semestre de 2021, pretendemos deixar
um legado imaterial, de uma nova cultura, de respeito às
cidades e aos cidadãos, de menor desigualdade social e de
integração. Um legado construído a partir da soma de ex-
periências e culturas da população. “TODOS OS MUNDOS,
UM SÓ MUNDO. ARQUITETURA 21”.

Rio World Capital of Architecture UNESCO.UIA
T
he title of World Capital of Architecture, granted by
the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) and the International Union
of Architects (UIA) for the first time to the city that will
host the 27th World Congress of Architects UIA 2021 Rio
- “All worlds. Just one World, Architecture 21”, brought to
the municipality of Rio and the Institute of Architects of
Brazil (IAB) great honor and responsibility, as entities co-
responsible for the execution of the program.
The work plan prepared in 2018, together with the
Executive Committee of the 27th World Congress of
Architects, with the support of IAB-DN, IAB-RJ, CAU BR,
CAU RJ, FNA, ABEA, AsBEA, ABAP, and ANPARQ1 has as
main goals the dissemination of architectural culture, the
promotion of reflections on the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals of the United Nations, the encouragement of tourism,
the development of the city of Rio, the State and Brazil.
Rio de Janeiro, as well as other world metropolises,
presents several urban management challenges serving
as a reference for the main legacy to be achieved: the
change in the authorities and society approach concerning
architecture, urbanism and landscaping as a tool for the
construction of more sustainable and egalitarian cities.
In order to develop and execute the work plan, a
governance structure was formed in May 2019, along with
the Joint Committee UNESCO.UIA, chaired by the French
architect Dominique Perrault. Rio 2020 Council, chaired
by the Mayor of the City of Rio de Janeiro, is under this
committee, together with the participation of several
managers of the municipal bodies, representatives of
class entities - UIA, IAB, Executive Committee of the 27th
World Congress of Architects, Council of Architecture and
Urbanism - CAU, National Federation of Architects - FNA,
in addition to the cultural departments of the Government
of the State of Rio de Janeiro and the Federal Government.

Of honorary participation, Rio 2020 Council has the task
of approving the general program and proposing activities
to encourage and give visibility to the program related to
Rio World Capital of Architecture UNESCO.UIA.
The program was coordinated and operated by the
Organizing Committee, along with an executive board
and three subcommittees - Programming, Promotion
and Communication, and Administration and Logistics,
composed of representatives from various municipal
bodies, the IAB and the 27th World Congress of Architects.
The strategies established by the Organizing Committee
in 2019 to achieve the objectives proposed in the program
were: the launching of a Public Call for Proposals for
Cultural Projects in November, provided with institutional
support for individuals and legal entities to promote the
participation of civil society in the agenda; the formulation
and dissemination of content through its own network of
websites and social media, and partner entities; in addition
to the advertising the title and its proposals in several
discussion forums and channels related to urbanism,
historical heritage and tourism.
The celebrations of the city as the World Capital of
Architecture were officially launched on 2019-2020 New
Year’s Eve, in Copacabana Beach, when the title was
announced in real-time to more than two million people
and hundreds of millions more through TV and internet
broadcasts.
At the beginning of the year, before the spread of the
new coronavirus in Brazil and in the city of Rio de Janeiro,
important events such as exhibitions, book launches, and
seminars were held - all of those were selected through
the Public Call for Cultural Projects. In February, during
Carnival, three samba schools from the Special Group
paraded in the Sambódromo presenting themes related to
architecture, urbanism and the right to housing, reaching
worldwide repercussions.
In the same month, the work and the agenda developed for
the whole year of celebrations of the title was presented at
UNESCO headquarters to the representatives of its member
14
countries, aiming at expanding the range of international
project proposals throughout the year.
At the beginning of March 2020, when the World Health
Organization (WHO) declared the dissemination of the
disease caused by the new coronavirus as a pandemic, there
were already more than 300 cultural projects registered
through the Public Call and the repercussion of the title
was increasing, as well as institutional partnerships towards
a larger network of promotion and cultural programming.
However, all this mobilization needed to be revised on
March 13, 2020, when the authorities of the State and the
Municipality of Rio de Janeiro recognized the public health
emergency situation, the population was advised to adopt
social isolation measures for several months, international
flights and live events were cancelled, and the 27th World
Congress of Architects was postponed to the following
year, now scheduled to be held from 18 to 22 July 2021.
Everyone had to reinvent themselves, and the priorities
and attention turned to the daily struggle for the cure of
countless infected people with the new coronavirus and
the search for a vaccine to respond to a universal demand.
The daily lives of the world population suffered sudden
and extreme changes, reflecting on the debate about
the future of post-pandemic cities, evoking debates on
transformations in architecture, public spaces, mobility,
urban densities, urban-rural linkages and total revision of the
needs and priorities, both in material and the cyber space.
Rio’s World Capital of Architecture UNESCO.UIA has
also reinvented itself. As the majority of the endorsed
events was postponed or canceled, the media focused
exclusively on the coverage of the new coronavirus and the
spread of online debates. Thus, incentives were created
for the Public Call to receive proposals for new programs,
including webinars and social media live broadcast. The
production of journalistic content linked to the main themes
of the year 2020 and the World Capital of Architecture
nomination, such as architecture, pandemic, environment
and sustainability of cities, historical heritage and cultural
identity, was reinforced.
15
Thereby, the bilingual capitalmundialdaarquitetura.rio
website allowed a large network of discussions on these
topics, daily updated content, with contributions from
university professors, students, researchers, architecture
professionals and public servants from all over the country
through interviews and testimonies. Between March and
August, the major themes took turns in the special articles,
concomitantly with the disclosure of events received
through the Public Call that started to be held virtually, and
the special columns of the website.
In July, the website’s content began to be disseminated
on its own social networks - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,
expanding the outreach of readers.
Then, in partnership with Multirio, the Multimedia
Municipal Company, an educational e card game related to
the city’s historical heritage, was released on social media.
An initiative that was widely accessed by students from the
municipal public schools.
The experience with the website was so positive that it was
decided to convert the main content produced into eBooks
divided into six volumes, which can be downloaded separately
according to the following columns: My Rio, Foresights,
Actions Against Pandemic, Sustainable Practices, Lookat the
Heritage and Programming of Rio UNESCO World Capital of
Architecture UNESCO UIA.
New themes of special subjects related to the working
groups of the International Union of Architects, as well as
new columns for the website involving cities from around the
world that had hosted the World Congresses of Architects
were previously scheduled to be published from September.
Due to the municipal pre-election period, the website, social
media and the promotion of the programming had to be
interrupted from August 15th until the end of the municipal
elections process.
Following the scheduled progressive return of presential
activities in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and around the world, a new
phase of the World Capital of Architecture UNESCO.UIA will
begin from December 2020 and will be carried until July 2021,
when the title will be granted to Copenhagen, at the end of
16
the 27th World Congress of Architects - UIA 2021 Rio.
Through the initiatives carried out and planned to take
place in the first semester of 2021, it is intended to leave
an immaterial legacy, one of a new culture, respect for
cities and citizens, integration and less social inequality.
A legacy built by the sum of experiences and cultures
of the population. “ALL WORLDS, JUST ONE WORLD.
ARCHITECTURE 21”.

Prospectivas
O
segundo volume da série de ebooks editados com
o selo do Rio Capital Mundial da Arquitetura UNES-
CO.UIA traz textos assinados por autores brasileiros
e estrangeiros convidados a apresentarem informações,
reflexões e proposições sobre temas e campanhas relati-
vos às cidades mundiais, abrindo o debate sobre o futuro
dos espaços urbanos pós-coronavírus.
A coluna Prospectivas foi lançada no website capital-
mundialdaarquitetura.rio em junho de 2020. Seu título já
demonstra o objetivo – ver ao longe, olhar para o futuro
da arquitetura, das cidades e das nossas vidas, em um pe-
ríodo de incertezas e muitas prospecções.
Para a seleção e convite dos autores estrangeiros, o Co-
mitê Organizador Rio 2020 contou com a colaboração da
equipe da União Internacional de Arquitetos (UIA), que
convidou representantes de seus grupos de trabalho e da
UNESCO a partir dos temas propostos pelo Comitê.
Neste ebook apresentamos quatro artigos publicados
entre junho e agosto de 2020 e sete inéditos, agrupados
em três capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, o tema principal é
o patrimônio natural e cultural, sua interface com a iden-
tidade da população, transformações urbanas, o turismo
e o necessário alinhamento com o desenvolvimento eco-
nômico das cidades, a partir dos casos do Rio de Janeiro
e outras metrópoles.
No segundo estão os artigos que tratam de visões sobre
as cidades durante a pandemia, com prospecções dos au-
tores sobre o futuro.
No terceiro, tratam do futuro dos espaços urbanos pela
perspectiva da sustentabilidade social e ambiental em
conformidade com a Agenda 2030 da ONU, apresentan-
do campanhas e exortando profissionais e sociedade a
participarem dos debates sobre o futuro.
Abrimos o ebook com “Um pacto social para o Museu
Nacional”, artigo inédito de Marlova Jovchelovitch Noleto,
Diretora da UNESCO no Brasil, no qual destaca o proje-
to Museu Nacional Vive, resultado de cooperação técnica
entre UNESCO, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
(UFRJ) e a Fundação Vale, com o objetivo de resgatar a
instituição bicentenária, símbolo da cultura brasileira.
18
“Entre monumentos naturais e o traçado urbano”, de Pau-
la Merlino Machado, foi publicado em 1º de agosto de 2020.
Escrito em comemoração ao mês do patrimônio cultural no
Brasil, o artigo discorre sobre a declaração concedida pela
UNESCO à Cidade do Rio de Janeiro como Patrimônio da
Humanidade na categoria Paisagem Cultural, e sua visão
como um ativo econômico.
A partir desta perspectiva, sugere maior integração insti-
tucional entre as áreas de patrimônio cultural, conservação,
turismo e comunicação a fim de empreender ações que va-
lorizem, promovam e divulguem a titulação e permitam a in-
terpretação, por cariocas e visitantes, dos valores universais
dos bens.
No último artigo, “A Requalificação de Bairros Centrais –
Buenos Aires, Nova York, Dublin, Cidade do Cabo e Rio de
Janeiro”, Ephim Shluger apresenta uma ampla reflexão so-
bre os processos de requalificação de bairros centrais, revi-
sitando as experiências realizadas nestas cidades, em dois
grupos de análise.
No primeiro, em que estão Nova York, Cidade do Cabo e
Dublin, os processos de requalificação tiveram início a partir
de manifestações de grupos locais de moradores, discus-
sões com especialistas e setores imobiliários, visando pro-
mover o reaproveitamento de ativos de arquitetura indus-
trial ou de áreas portuárias desativadas em bairros centrais.
O segundo grupo reúne os cases de Buenos Aires e Rio de
Janeiro, cujas iniciativas foram lideradas pelo setor público,
com parcerias público-privadas, afiançadas pelos órgãos fe-
derais.
Em extensa abordagem em que retrata estes processos
de requalificação ao longo de décadas e sua situação atual,
o autor conclui com lições aprendidas dos casos estudados
e apresenta previsões otimistas para o futuro.
Abrimos o segundo capítulo com “A cidade que deseja-
mos no pós-pandemia”, artigo de Claudio Acioly Jr., publica-
do em 22 de junho de 2020. O autor apresenta as iniciativas
de cidades no mundo – Londres, Amsterdã, Roterdã, Hanói,
Nova York – e no Brasil, para o enfrentamento à pandemia e
prospecta, a partir de uma revisão das fortalezas e proble-
mas prévios, como serão resilientes às incertezas do futuro.
19
O autor questiona: “Qual é a cidade que queremos no
futuro da pós-pandemia nos países em desenvolvimento?
Como adequar os espaços urbanos ao Objetivo do Desen-
volvimento Sustentável 11 da Agenda 2030 da ONU?”
O segundo artigo, “A pandemia e os rumos do urbanis-
mo”, de Vicente Loureiro, foi publicado em 13 de julho de
2020. Em sequência à discussão iniciada por Acioly, o au-
tor apresenta programas pré-pandemia de cidades euro-
peias para alcançarem os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento
Sustentável da Agenda 2030 da ONU e consequentemen-
te uma vida mais sustentável para seus habitantes.
Questiona como viabilizar transformações urbanas pro-
fundas em cidades do Hemisfério Sul, onde há escassez de
recursos e a informalidade e precariedade são tão amplas.
Estaria o futuro do urbanismo intrinsecamente apoiado
no equilíbrio entre as necessidades das pessoas, cidades
e países, com os recursos ambientais disponíveis, consu-
mindo-se somente o necessário?
O terceiro artigo, “O futuro do Patrimônio Mundial no
contexto da crise do turismo resultante de uma pande-
mia”, do Prof. Michael Turner foi publicado em 10 de agos-
to de 2020. De forma instigante, o autor apresenta as no-
vas perspectivas que a pandemia trouxe para a visitação
de alguns dos mais importantes patrimônios históricos
mundiais a partir de novas tecnologias de visitação virtu-
al. Considera que essa mudança, com o impedimento de
acesso presencial de milhões de turistas, será benéfica ao
patrimônio urbano e questiona: “Como será o patrimônio
do futuro?”
“Lições e Soluções”, de Kevin Bingham, é um texto iné-
dito que também aborda as relações entre as cidades e
a pandemia, a partir do papel desempenhado pelos ar-
quitetos coletivamente no planejamento do futuro. Assim,
explica a formação do Centro de Informações UIA Covid
-19, um repositório de dados, ideias e projetos apresen-
tados por arquitetos de todo o mundo e disponibilizado
livremente na internet na página da UIA.
Esse repositório pretende ser fonte de pesquisa para
as cidades se prepararem para eventualidades e é atua-
lizado periodicamente, sendo importante meio de com-
20
partilhamento de conhecimentos. Demonstra também a
importância da atuação dos arquitetos na preparação de
cidades para crises futuras, tendo em vista a compreen-
são sensível e estrutural destes profissionais na busca de
soluções que atendam às especificidades locais e com
respeito às pessoas.
O quinto artigo deste capítulo - “A Cidade do Futuro” -
de Angela Baldellou, também inédito, traz a reflexão sobre
o modelo de cidade pós-Covid a partir das mudanças nos
modos de vida e no próprio uso da cidade. Considera que
a crise global humanitária é também oportunidade de se
repensar as cidades de forma colaborativa, engajando os
atores sociais junto aos técnicos, na busca de um futuro
global sustentável, referenciado na Agenda 2030 da ONU.
Dando sequência à discussão do futuro das cidades
pós-Covid e frente aos desafios da Agenda 2030 da ONU,
o terceiro capítulo traz mais dois artigos inéditos. O pri-
meiro é “Circuito Urbano 2020: diálogos entre o Brasil e
a África Lusófona para a construção de um futuro urbano
melhor no pós-pandemia”, de Bruna Pereira Gimba, Júlia
Vilela Caminha e Rayne Ferretti Moraes, funcionárias do
ONU-Habitat Brasil.
Neste artigo as autoras discorrem sobre a celebração
anual do Outubro Urbano, que se inicia no Dia Mundial do
Habitat, na primeira segunda-feira do mês, e se encerra
em 31 de outubro, no Dia Mundial das Cidades, e é pro-
movido pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para os Assen-
tamentos Informais (ONU-Habitat) e todo o Sistema das
Nações Unidas.
Desde 2018 o ONU Habitat Brasil realiza o Circuito Ur-
bano, uma iniciativa nacional de apoio a eventos sobre os
temas centrais do Outubro Urbano a cada ano. Em 2020,
devido à pandemia, todos os eventos foram virtuais, com
acesso gratuito via canal do Youtube e trouxeram como
novidade a parceria com os escritórios do ONU-Habitat
em países africanos lusófonos, enriquecendo o intercâm-
bio sul-sul em busca do alcance da Agenda 2030 da ONU.
No segundo artigo deste capítulo, “Que venha 2030!”,
de Cid Blanco, o autor conclama os arquitetos e urbanis-
tas de todo o mundo para que reflitam sobre o seu pa-
21
pel fundamental na contribuição para a agenda global de
transformação das cidades em locais mais justos e iguali-
tários.
Fechando o ebook, trazemos o artigo de Bob Topping,
sobre a importância da inclusão através do design. Para
alcançarmos as metas da Agenda da ONU para 2030, é
fundamental que os arquitetos de todo o mundo contri-
buam para o redesenho de cidades acessíveis.
Onze artigos de autores residentes no Brasil, na Euro-
pa, na África e no Oriente Médio, com vivências extrema-
mente diversas, apesar da profissão em comum à maioria.
Onze perspectivas diferentes sobre nosso futuro urbano
comum. Com esta edição, a equipe do Comitê Organiza-
dor Rio 2020 espera contribuir para a reflexão sobre as
cidades e a Agenda 2030 da ONU. Boa leitura!

Foresights
T
he second volume of the series of e-books edited with
the seal of Rio World Capital of Architecture UNESCO.
UIA presents texts signed by Brazilian and international
authors invited to provide information, reflections, and
propositions on themes and campaigns related to global
cities, opening the debate on the future of post-coronavirus
urban spaces.
The Foresights column was launched on the
capitalmundialdaarquitectura.rio website in June 2020. The
title already demonstrates its objective - to observe from a
distance, to look at the future of architecture, cities, and
our lives in a period of uncertainty and many foresights.
The Rio 2020 Organizing Committee counted with the
support from the International Union of Architects (UIA)
to select and invite international authors. UIA invited
representatives of its working groups and from UNESCO
based on the themes proposed by the Committee.
There are in this e-book four published articles from
June to August 2020 and seven unpublished grouped in
three chapters. The first chapter the main subject is the
cultural and natural heritage, its interface with the identity
of the population, urban transformations, tourism and
the necessary alignment with the economic development
of cities, based on the cases of Rio de Janeiro and other
metropolises.
In the second chapter are articles upon the perspective on
cities during the pandemic, with authors' prospects about
the future.
In the third chapter, the articles focus on the future of urban
spaces from the perspective of social and environmental
sustainability in accordance with the UN 2030 Agenda,
presenting campaigns and urging professionals and society
to participate in debates about the future.
This ebook is inaugurated with the article “A social pact
for the National Museum” an original work by Marlova
Jovchelovitch Noleto, Director of UNESCO in Brazil, which
highlights the project Museu Nacional Vive, a result of
technical cooperation between UNESCO, the Federal
University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Vale Foundation,
23
with the aim of recovering the bicentennial institution, a
symbol of Brazilian culture.
“Between natural monuments and the urban layout”, by
Paula Merlino Machado, was published on August 1st, 2020.
Written due to the celebration of the cultural heritage month
in Brazil, the article discusses the declaration granted by
UNESCO to the City of Rio de Janeiro as World Heritage
in the Cultural Landscape category, and its vision as an
economic asset.
From this perspective, she suggests greater institutional
integration among areas of cultural heritage, conservation,
tourism, and communication in order to undertake actions
that value, promote and disseminate the title and allow the
interpretation of the good's universal values by locals and
visitors.
In the last article, “The Requalification of Central
Neighborhoods - Buenos Aires, New York, Dublin, Cape
Town, and Rio de Janeiro”, Ephim Schluger presents a wide
range of reflection on the processes of requalification of
central neighborhoods, revisiting the experiments carried
out in these cities in two groups of analysis.
In the first, with New York, Cape Town, and Dublin, the
requalification processes started with demonstrations
by local groups of residents, discussions with specialists,
and real estate sectors, aiming to promote the reuse of
industrial architecture assets or port facilities areas in central
neighborhoods. The second group encompasses the cases
of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, whose initiatives were
led by the public sector through public-private partnerships,
secured by federal agencies.
In an extensive approach in which he portrays these
requalification processes over decades and their current
situation, the author concludes with lessons learned from
the case studies and presents optimistic forecasts for the
future.
The second chapter is opened with the article “The city we
want for the post-pandemic”, by Claudio Acioly Jr., published
on June 22nd, 2020. The author exposes the initiatives of
Brazilian and international cities - London, Amsterdam,
24
Rotterdam, Hanoi, New York -, to face the pandemic and
his prospects from a review of previous strengths and
problems on how resilient to the uncertainties of the future
they will be.
The author interrogates on “What city do we want in the
future for the post-pandemic in developing countries? How
to adapt urban spaces to the UN Sustainable Development
Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda?”
The second article “The pandemic and the directions
of urbanism”, by Vicente Loureiro, was published on July
13th, 2020. Following the discussion initiated by Acioly, the
author introduces pre-pandemic programs for European
cities to reach the Sustainable Development Goals of the
UN 2030 Agenda and consequently a more sustainable life
for its inhabitants.
He questions how to enable deep urban transformations
in cities from the Southern Hemisphere, where resources are
scarce and informality and precariousness are widespread.
Would the future of urbanism be intrinsically based on the
balance of the needs of people, cities, and countries and
with the available environmental resources, consuming only
what is necessary?
The third article “The future of World Heritage in the
context of the tourism crisis resulting from a pandemic”,
by Prof. Michael Turner, was published on August 10th,
2020. The author presents in an instigating way the new
perspectives that the pandemic brought as to virtually visit
some of the most important historic heritage sites.
He considers this change, due to the hindrance of physical
access for millions of tourists, beneficial to urban heritage,
and wonders "What will the heritage of the future be like?"
“Lessons and Solutions”, by Kevin Bingham, is an original
text that also addresses the relations between cities and the
pandemic, based on the collective role played by architects
in planning the future. Thus, it explains the creation of the
UIA Covid-19 Information Center, a repository of data, ideas,
and projects presented by architects from around the world
and freely available on the UIA website.
This repository is intended to be a source of research
for cities to prepare for eventualities and is periodically
25
updated as an important knowledge-sharing platform. It
also demonstrates the importance of architecture's role
in preparing cities for future crises, bearing sensitive and
structural understanding of these professionals in the
search for solutions that meet local specificities and respect
to people.
The fifth article of the chapter- “The City from the Future”
- by Angela Baldellou, also unpublished, reflects on the
post-Covid city model based on changes in ways of life and
in the use of the city itself. She considers that the global
humanitarian crisis is also an opportunity to rethink cities
in a collaborative manner, engaging social actors together
with technicians in the search for a sustainable global future,
referenced in the UN 2030 Agenda.
Following on from the discussion of the cities’ future post-
Covid and facing the challenges of the UN 2030 Agenda,
the third chapter is composed of two more unpublished
articles. The first is “Urban Circuit 2020: dialogues between
Brazil and Lusophone Africa for building a better urban
future in the post-pandemic”, by Bruna Pereira Gimba,
Júlia Vilela Caminha, and Rayne Ferreti Moraes, UN-Habitat
Brazil representatives.
In this article, the authors discuss the annual celebration
of Urban October - from the World Habitat Day, on the first
Monday of the month, to October 31st, the World Cities Day -,
and is promoted by the United Nations Human Settlements
Programme (UN-Habitat) and the entire United Nations
System.
Since 2018, UN-Habitat Brazil has promoted the Urban
Circuit as a national and yearly initiative to support events
with the central themes of Urban October. In 2020, due to
the pandemic, all events were held virtual with free access
via Youtube and with a new feature of partnership with
the UN-Habitat offices in Portuguese-speaking African
countries, enriching South-South exchanges to achieve the
UN 2030 Agenda.
On the second article in this chapter, “Let 2030 come!”, by
Cid Blanco, the author calls on architects and urban planners
from around the world to reflect on their fundamental role
26
in contributing to the global transformation agenda of cities
to fairer and more equal sites.
Closing the ebook, we bring Bob Topping's article on the
importance of inclusion through design. In order to achieve
the goals of the UN Agenda for 2030, it is essential that
architects around the world contribute to the redesign of
accessible cities.
Eleven articles by authors residing in Brazil, Europe, Africa,
and the Middle East, with extremely diverse experiences,
despite the profession in common to most. Eleven different
foresights on our common urban future. With this edition, the
Rio 2020 Organizing Committee team hopes to contribute
to the reflection on cities and the UN 2030 Agenda. Enjoy
the reading!

Resilience and reinvention. Two skills that we have exercised so much in 2020
to face one of the greatest global emergencies of all time are also essential to
define how to build a more just and inclusive post-pandemic future, one that
does not allow anyone to be left behind. UNESCO is celebrating 75 years in this
context, with a more necessary mandate than ever, reinforcing its commitment
to the promotion of Education, Natural Sciences, Human and Social Sciences,
Culture and Communication and Information.
Before the pandemic, a major collective trauma that affected world culture
had already mobilized the activities of the Organization and its partners, NGOs
and government agencies: the fire that hit the National Museum in Rio de
Janeiro, the oldest science center and also the first museum of Brazil. It is with

great satisfaction that we highlight that the “Museu Nacional Vive” project,
the result of a technical cooperation between UNESCO, the Federal University
of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Vale Foundation, will allow us to rescue this
bicentennial institution, a symbol of Brazilian culture.
The action comprises four lines of work: the reconstruction of the São Cristóvão
Palace and its annex building, Alípio de Miranda Ribeiro; the development of
the new museography; the renovation and expansion of the Museum’s Central
Library; and the implementation of a new research and education campus.
For the project, UNESCO is conducting several public bids, produced jointly
with the technical staff of the National Museum/UFRJ, which prioritized a
set of institutional management references based on the preservation and
restoration of the collections, restoration of the Palace and modernization and
integration of the annex building, renovation of exhibitions and expansion of
the Museum.
For the selection of the company responsible for the development of the
National Museum’s Architecture and Restoration Project, UNESCO counted
on the technical support of renowned specialists in the field of architecture,
cultural heritage, engineering and museology, as well as specialized institutions
such as the International Council of Museums (ICOM Brasil) and the Institute
of Architects of Brazil (IAB), which were part of an advisory committee that
evaluated the creative proposals submitted to the bidding process.
The notice to the tender came from the premises and criteria established by the
National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) for intervention in the
Paço and reaffirmed premises that were already in the Museum’s Revitalization
Program foreseen before the fire, such as: dedicate all the interior of the Palace
to the exhibitions; strengthen the connection with the historical gardens; and
allocate administrative sectors and support services in the annex. In addition,
the announcement reaffirmed the need for projects to present solutions to
complex challenges in contemporary museum management. Among them, the
attendance to international standards of accessibility, security, sustainability,
reception, lecturing assistance, relationship with the community and particularly
the close relationship between the National Museum and Quinta da Boa Vista,
the second largest urban park of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Having overcome this phase of technical analysis and rich discussions with
experts, we are convinced that the National Museum’s Architecture and
Restoration Project remains strongly in tune with society’s wishes related to
the construction of a National Museum of the future, even more relevant and
open to the whole community. We will achieve this objective respecting the
historical values and the architectural identity of the Paço de São Cristóvão,
this great survivor of the fire.
This imposing Brazilian heritage listed in 1938 by IPHAN had its facades preserved
and received emergency works for shoring, removal of rubble, rescuing of the

Coming from the field of Geography, the term cultural landscape refers
to the product of man’s action on the natural environment, which makes
it possible to understand the interference of culture on nature, reflecting
the identity and knowledge of different groups. In the case of the city
of Rio de Janeiro, especially considering the cut-off defined by Unesco,
between Maciço da Tijuca (Tijuca National Park) and the waterfront, from
the tip of Arpoador to Santos Dumont Airport, we have a landscape that,
built over the years, has maintained a harmonious relationship between
its natural and built monuments and its urban layout.
For centuries the city was the headquarters of the Colony, Empire and
Republic, it was the stage of numerous urban transformations and
formed a collection of buildings of great relevance to Brazilian and
world architecture, which are part of this landscape. One of the main
positive points that influenced the choice of the city for inclusion in the
World Cultural Heritage list was the existence of an efficient legislation
of protection, both environmental and cultural heritage, in the different
spheres of government, as well as public policies to protect the landscape
established by the city’s Sustainable Urban Development Master Plan.

and Cities (2002) e o Creative Class (2004) afirma que a nova categoria
denominada de classe criativa – integrada por artistas e especialistas
dedicados ao campo da criatividade para avançar com novas formas e
produtos da era digital - é a principal força por trás do desenvolvimento
econômico moderno. No caso norte-americano, ele destaca dois gru-
pos de trabalhadores criativos: (i) os excepcionalmente criativos, esti-
mados em 12% da força de trabalho norte americano, incluem profissio-
nais altamente qualificados, formados em ciências, física, matemática,
engenharia e pesquisa, integrando equipes de software, mídia, design e
arte na indústria criativa. Esses lideram equipes em processos criativos
referentes à novos produtos de tecnologia e inovação. (ii) profissio-
nais criativos engajados no setor denominado “economia do conheci-
mento”, incluem o setor de serviços de saúde, comércio, agentes do
mercado financeiro, setor jurídico, educação, e utilizam complexos co-
nhecimentos para resolver os desafios específicos. O autor estima que
este segmento representa hoje cerca de 40% da força de trabalho dos
EUA e que a maioria predominante vive em grandes cidades. Florida es-
tabelece uma estreita correlação entre cidades densamente habitadas
por profissionais com este perfil e o sucesso econômico destas cidades.

Introduction
This essay aims to contribute to the debate on planning and design processes
applied to the renewal of historic urban neighborhoods, by way of the lessons
learned from cases featuring Buenos Aires, New York, Dublin, Cape Town, and
Rio de Janeiro. These initiatives share a common policy objective related to the
redevelopment of urban-industrial brown fields, although in essence they are
quite distinct when it comes to urban development governance, new financial
models, and funding instruments, when applied to large scale projects. Addi-
tionally, these cases present practical implementation concepts in addressing
the economic, social and environmental challenges through integrated plan-
ning and urban design approaches. Assessing project cycles throughout their

The cases of the first group include New York, Cape Town, and Dublin.
A common feature link these cases: these were local responses, with signifi-
cant support of grass root movements, aimed at urban renewal action. Typi-
cally, the process involves local leaders and representatives of neighborhood
organizations, to debate in public gatherings the agenda of issues, including
ways to address specific public interventions. Through this process consensus
emerges among stakeholders and residents, backed by elected representati-
ves, on ways to proceed on the adaptive reuse of industrial sites and verna-
cular architecture. This ground work allows for the next level iteration on te-
chnical deliberations dealing with issues of re-zoning, a standard requirement,
along with preparation of economic and financial feasibility studies. These are
essential to ensure project eligibility inclusion in public investment budgets,
measured through projected fiscal revenue in a 20-year horizon. These are
preconditions to transform the initial ideas into proposals and, subsequently,
develop plans and final projects submitted to approval by local authorities.
One of the most intriguing aspects of High Line’s story is that the process of
repurposing the railway structure and creating New York’s most unique public
park was not initiated by the City Hall, or even by one of Manhattan’s many,
established preservation groups. Rather, this decade-long, hard fought effort
was the initiative of two local residents with no background in architecture or
urban planning.
By 2005, their effort in lobbying City Hall and the railroad finally paid off. City
Hall policy effectively shifted in favor of preserving High Line as a public space.

The second group include the cases of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. Both
initiatives led by the public sector, predicated on public-private partnerships,
backed by federal institutions. These highly visible operations, included public
hearings and technical consultations, involving an array of stakeholders, in-
cluding architects, environmentalists, and the real estate sector. Rio’s Project,
known as Porto Maravilha, presents similar criteria to those adopted by the
Puerto Madero, in Buenos Aires. Both pursue explicit goals of reverting the
deterioration of infrastructure and services in central city neighborhoods, by
strengthening their civic functions and attracting real estate investments – em-
ploying improved public transportation infrastructure and multi modal mobi-
lity, in order to attract and occupy the central areas with new residents and to
increase green space for leisure and cultural activities. However, I note that the
differences between these two cases lay not only in their financing, marketing,
and project management models but essentially in their different outlooks re-
garding their urban futures.

of which molds the character and contents of public policy, plans and projects.
Which is to say, how public governance is conducted, ensuring that legal and
fiduciary risks do not jeopardize investors and developers. In addition, how
planning and design practice is organized, ensuring that the quality of plans
and projects will further enhance the marketing prospects and a positive lega-
cy of these initiatives.
Urban planners and designers, as a rule, maintain their preference for a hi-
gher density development of central areas, due to the abundant access to
a network of infrastructure and public services, public transport, and cultural
and educational equipment. In theory, these conditions may generate a new
cycle of urban economic development, as experience has shown by places
that opted to concentrate on an economy of culture and expansion of higher
education in the areas of administration, information technology, digital hub,
tourism, and innovation. (1)

Demographic projections estimated that the port region could reach 100,000
residents, a significant increase considering that the current population is es-
timated at 30,000. In Buenos Aires and New York, evaluation reports indicate
that only the wealthiest strata were attracted to high end residential units on
offer in the Puerto Madero district. In Dublin, however, a gradual increase in
the housing units, supplied by private developers, was in step with an incre-
ase in the rate of growth in the job market created by the technological hub
and expanding universities. There, a significant array of cultural monuments
and historic landmarks interspersed with vernacular dwellings, located at Li-
berties district, was subject to rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, eventually
transforming the whole area into one of the choicest residential locations.

The responsibility to protect and maintain urban heritage and its legacy is a
permanent challenge, with factors ranging from neglect and abandonment,
impacts of climate change, and the pressure from developers seeking the best
city locations for building in order to allow for undertaking regeneration and
reuse of structures that escaped destruction and ruin. The material heritage,
when protected in its entirety or readapted to new functions, preserving the
scale and ambiance, thus protecting what is called the “sense of place”.

The case study format allows me to examine and compare the range of
key aspects related to funding strategies, planning methods, manage-
ment and operation and implementation, not only from the perspec-
tive of planning and urban design but also to see how the outcome of
such transformations have impacted life of residents. It should be no-
ted that in the contemporary urban design, practical implementation
of concepts of ecosystem services (integrating environmental mana-
gement with natural resources protection) are necessary to safeguard
the integrity of ecological resources – most of which are essential for
human living. In most cases, urban regeneration initiatives have ad-

The visibility of this enterprise is not linked to the boldness of its archi-
tecture or its urban design concept, but mainly due to its proximity to
the business center of Buenos Aires and the Argentine’s Federal admi-
nistration - the Presidency at Casa Rosada and the Ministry of Finance,
located less than 200 meters away. A question at the center of the
numerous debates held was how to integrate the proposed redevelo-
pment project within the existing urban fabric, while adequately ad-
dressing disparate interests articulated by a diverse group of players.
However, the goal of generating positive economic and political exter-
nalities was extremely likely, according to the article by architect Mi-
78
guel Jurado. The Project was not immune to political and legal hurdles.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s Argentina’s economy had to contain
a period of disastrous economic hyperinflation. With the adoption of
a new state law stabilizing the economy, financial arrangements and
project adjustments were adopted to attract investments, according to
Miguel Jurado: “the market demand was geared to commercial space;
while public demand was for improved quality of public open space
and access to the waterfront”. The main project challenges dealing
with conflict resolution of a political nature, on the one hand, ensured
the continuity of project’s execution and, on the other, prevented risks
of interruption. Hence, the transformation of the Puerto Madero, with
over 160 hectares of vacant lots, docks, and underutilized warehouses,
into a new attractive site with vibrant commercial activities, intersper-
sed with business towers, commerce, and residential units. (3)
In its initial phase, the Corporación’s activities were financed with funds
generated from the port activities, such as recycling of waste (metal
scrap) and the leasing of commercial spaces within the property - in-
cluding the leasing space for the filming of a feature movie. Prior to
the elaboration of plans, according to Alfredo Garay, a former member
of the Corporación’s Board of Directors, public discussions were very
intense and culminated in launching of a competition for a concept
project. The design contest would be restricted to proposals for the
Madero Leste sector, considering that, on the east side, which includes
the 16 docks, there was a consensus on the type of intervention to be
made.
The selling of land along the docks was a success and in 1993 the area
became a strong gastronomic center. By the end of 1999, due to the
opening of more than 50 restaurants, the market became saturated
and was no longer viable. However, it rebounded in 2000, and the seg-
ment consolidated its presence at the Puerto Madero in the last de-
cade. Between 2002 and 2010, the average land price of the square
meter went from USD 1,300 to USD 2,400, according to the market
research conducted in 2013.

In 1999, Robert and Joshua, two local residents with the support of advo-
cacy groups, founded “Friends of the High Line”, a non-profit organization,
to lobby the City of New York, the Federal Government and the Railroad
to save the High Line. At the community council meetings, they defended
the preservation of this historic industrial structure, which divided public
opinion and business interests, thereby creating an uncertain future. This
process, which was abundantly covered by the local media, had attracted
vivid attention on the part of leading figures from the fashion industry of
New York. It also received support from the local aldermen and business
leaders. In 2005, the years of lobbying City Hall and the railroad finally
paid off. City policy effectively shifted in favor of preserving the High Line
as a public space. Under the direction of landscape architect James Cor-
ner Field Operations, architect Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and planting de-
signer Piet Outdolf, a first section was transformed into a unique urban
park – stretching from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street in Manhattan. In
June 2009, Mayor Bloomberg presided over the official ribbon cutting ce-

remony. Numerous City officials and celebrities were present. Two years
later, a second section, between the 20th and 30th Streets was also ope-
ned to the public. The turning point that changed the municipal govern-
ment’s view in favor of the proposed initiative, hinged upon the results of
an economic feasibility study, revealing positive economic returns on the
public investment, based on the growth of value of properties in the ad-
jacent neighborhoods, which in turn, accrues incremental fiscal revenues
projected over a 20 year horizon. (5)
For Columbia University professor Shawn Amsler, the result of this trans-
formation in the old West Side industrial districts far exceeded what was
initially expected, considering that the initial object was merely to trans-
form the elevated railway structure into a linear park dedicated for pedes-
trian circulation. The High Line Project, which spans about 2,320 meters,
has been redeveloped at a total cost of US$ 187 million. The largest share
of the contribution was made by New York City. In 2012, it was estimated
that the park contributed to the creation of 12,000 new jobs positions, ge-
nerating approximately US$ 2 billion in new economic activities within its
geographical area of influence. Initial estimates in studies commissioned
by Friends of the High Line projected that the creation of the park could
increase New York's tax revenue by $250 million over a period of 20 years,
by the virtue of increase in the property's market value. However, this es-
timation was recently updated and a collection of US$ 900 million is pro-
jected, until the year 2038. The valuation of the properties located along
the first phase segment, presented average increase of 130% in relation
to the other new buildings located in Chelsea - a neighborhood located in
the east of the High Line, while the prices of units built in Phase 2 jumped
to 214%, applying the same comparison criteria. (9)

The redevelopment of Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (V&AW) - the old se-

has received public acclaim for its environmental quality, with the mix of
condominiums and commercial sector, which offers daily cultural attrac-

the port, the seascape and the skyline. The complex features a marina,
fishing docks, an aquarium with a marine science pavilion, and a museum
of contemporary African art (MOCAA), hotels, residential complexes and
spaces for conferences, producer and craft markets. Development of the
V&AW project followed the safeguard rules, both in reference to historical
monuments and in relation to the built environment, including the unique
landscape where the preservation of the skyline is assumed to be essen-

objective was considered a critical factor in the success of the V&AW ini-

hotels, located in a designated location, apart from the commercial sector
and the docks, hence protected from noise and agglomeration of visi-

World Cup games, strategically located 1.5 km away from the V&AW, thus

South Africa’s most visited attraction, drawing more than 23 million visi-

The V&AW has adopted a long term leasing model, rather than the piece-
meal sale of parceled land offered to investors and developers. By retai-
ning the whole property under one management company, the business
plan relies on long-term lease agreement with the different tenants, and
allowing the administrator of V&AW to carry out the maintenance, ligh-
ting and security services and daily operation of public spaces at the wa-
terfront. The retention of assets allowed investors, both institutional and
private, to take risks, but also to realize profit in the implementation of
the respective projects. In addition, the property was kept as a collateral
in the process of raising funds invested in the portfolio of infrastructure
works and in the requalification of public spaces, with the government's
guarantees. The administration and operation of V&AW was entrusted
to a property management company, with broad autonomy in the daily
decision making process concerning the commercial management, ope-
ration and conservation of the waterfront site. The adopted business plan
ensured, to a large degree, the integrity of the whole complex, in terms of

lopers faced a critical shortage of available downtown locations, with
compatible land parcels to erect corporate towers, accelerated the idea
of a downtown expansion. The availability of adequate land parcels is a
fundamental factor in property development; however, from the urban
design perspective, a continuous and orderly urban expansion requires a
more balanced approach towards the existing communities found in the
historic neighborhoods. The market’s euphoria did not last long, as the
consequences of the 2008 global economic crisis which hit the country
in 2013, followed by the long lasting political and institutional crisis on-
going in Brazil. The impact of which is reflected in the downturn in the
demand for office and residential spaces in the downtown area. During
this period, merely two dozen buildings were launched, mainly corpora-

Presently, the real estate market points to a slow recovery, even though
there is no sign of new ventures in the port area locations. Nevertheless,
many local restaurants remain closed due to the sanitary regulations,
and became financially stranded without cash flow. With no date to re-
open, a group of 12 restaurant owners formed a consortium, aimed at
home delivery services, as a temporary alternative to keep the essential
staff working. The Porto Novo Consortium’s contract, responsible for
Porto Maravilha’s operation and maintenance services, was restructured
in the early months of 2019. However, since then City Hall interrupted its
monthly payments, forcing the consortium to walk away from its service
delivery obligations. The suspension in funding was inevitable, due to a
steady decrease in the fiscal revenues as the public accounts indicate. In
the present scenario marked by the double sanitary and economic crisis,
the effective demand for commercial space and corporate towers at the

rs. The Fund invested one billion Rands in the V&AW enterprise, com-
pletely aware of its long-term economic feasibility, of the project’s real
cost, and the estimated flow of revenues. The adopted model works
with a proportional share of the revenues instead of the profit, which
reverts to the V&AW Company and is reinvested in the renovation of the
existing property assets or the creation of new ones, as well as mainte-
nance and conservation - a device similar to the one used by municipal
governments in which cities use tax revenues from more affluent areas
to subsidize poorer neighborhoods. In this vein, the old Clock Tower,
built in 1882, was restored and the site where old oil tank deposits were
located repurposed into new marinas surrounded by a residential com-
plex. In Dublin, there was a consortium formed of public sector entities,
led by the Industrial Development Agency (IDA), - the federal sector in
charge of attracting sovereign funds of private direct investments (FDI).
The attained goal was to maximize the outcome of their contributions,
by placing enterprises together with the institutes of technological re-
search and university campuses in the vicinity of the new Digital Hub
- a space properly interconnected through the transatlantic optic fiber
network. The Dublin model is considered an exemplary case where inte-
gration between historical heritage preservation management and local
economic development were intertwined.

4 - The Buenos Aires and Cape Town cases suggest that, in a recessi-
ve economy, the flow of private investment contributions slows down.
Hence, it is important to work with contingency plan and flexible con-
cepts that can be adapted to a changing reality and operational dyna-
mics, provided that the stated goals of the redevelopment plan are not
sacrificed. In this perspective, it will be essential to evaluate and audit
the status of the redevelopment project in Rio. However, at this juncture,
with a shifting economic context and the forthcoming post-pandemic
era, the future challenges are unpredictable. What is certain, however, is
the need to redefine the economic development model, by integrating
it with urban planning and a design capable of regenerating city cen-
ter. The combined effort to promote local economic development and
redevelopment of central neighborhoods must go hand in hand. The
city center is a repository of our historic heritage, marker of our identity,
combining heritage sites and monuments manifesting cultural diversity,
framed by the unique landscape. The plan for the future of Rio must
seek to reestablish the quality of life in the city. A bold strategic vision
must go beyond the conventional debate over financial conundrums of
budget deficit and the challenge in design the economic equilibrium.
Urban policy has to be aligned with the SDI (ONU) indicators and Paris
Climate Agreement norms –, Brazil is a member country and signatory
to both of these international accords, ensuring universal access to ade-
quate housing, provision of potable water and sewerage treatment and
disposal, and solid waste management, by the year 2030. This is our bi-
ggest challenge today - building our collective future, more than a whim,
an economic imperative.

11 – At the turn of the 20th century, the expansion of the port area in
Rio was completed as a “turn-key” Project – i.e. the contracted works
included engineering and design. Construction and financing plans were
handed over ready to operate at a “turn of the key”. At the same time,
modernization works were carried out including a rail transport system;
electric tram lines passing through downtown and Avenida Rodrigues
Alves and along new warehouses, along the Canal do Mangue towards
the passenger terminal located at Praça Mauá. The new port facility fully
met the needs of the emerging economy at the beginning of Brazil’s Re-
publican era. With the expansion of foreign trade, the capacity for mo-
oring cargo and transatlantic ships, port services and transportation of
goods was expanded, operating under the most advanced technology
available at the time. In addition, capacity was developed to service the
transatalantic flow of passengers and immigrants arriving in Brazil. The
Port of Rio has been operated by Companhia Docas do Rio, profitable
throughout its’ 110 years of continuous operations. A critical aspect to
be noted is that the proposed Porto Maravilha does not have direct ac-
cess to the coastline of the Guanabara Bay, given that the water edge
area is occupied with docks and warehouses of the shipping activities..

Se existe uma lição desta crise é que são as pessoas que fazem a engrena-
gem da economia rodar e as políticas públicas devem ser centradas nas pes-
soas e produzir resultados interconectados de sustentabilidade social e eco-
nômica. A cidade no pós-pandemia nos países em desenvolvimento terá que
articular processos que resultem em políticas e programas que respondam à
demanda da cidadania e as necessidades específicas de seus grupos sociais
mais desfavorecidos a fim de criar uma base de sustentabilidade social para
as futuras gerações. E assim fortalecer o seu capital humano. A urbanização
e integração dos assentamentos informais com inclusão social e desenvol-

Jane Jacobs' studies in the last century and more recently from the World

and the advantages of agglomeration of people and businesses have
been tested without during the pandemic. When quarantine was impo-
sed and strong security measures and social detachment were adopted
to manage the speed of virus transmission, including stopping public
transport, entire populations were forced to withdraw from the public
domain. They left behind empty public spaces, dying businesses and a
city that lives in silence and fear, fearing an invisible enemy.
In Rio de Janeiro, on the one hand, the withdrawal of the population from
beaches, streets, public spaces and places of culture and entertainment,
revealed the unique beauty of places, their architecture, exuberant na-
ture, clean air, animal life and urban silence emerging and prevailing in
the urban environment. The beaches recovering their crystal clear water,
the Botafogo cove recovering its transparency forgotten in time. The
pandemic opened up, in plain sight, the spatial capital of a city and its
urban and architectural attributes. On the other hand, the pandemic has
had a dramatic effect on people operating in the informal sector, but live
in slums and low-income neighborhoods, and who depend on the eco-
nomy of agglomeration to obtain your daily income.

People who already lived in inadequate housing, with few services and
overcrowded in their residences in slums and informal settlements were
also forced to confine themselves. There are several reports on stress and
domestic violence, in addition to the loss of security food and basic inco-
me. Families headed by women were particularly affected for this forced
confinement. The pandemic crisis has shown unequivocally that what dri-
ves a city's economy is its people, its human capital.
In Rio de Janeiro, this is evident. Remove them from public spaces, qua-
rantine them and confinement, and the urban economy collapses comple-
tely. Without the demand for their products and without their employees,
stores and businesses cannot function and can generate their revenue.
Relationship chains and economic transactions that have been totally dis-
solved.
If there is a lesson from this crisis, it is the people who gear the economy
run and public policies must be people-centered and produce results in-
terconnected social and economic sustainability. The post-pandemic city
in developing countries will have to articulate processes that result in
policies and programs that respond to the demands of citizenship and
the specific needs of their most disadvantaged social groups in order di-
sadvantaged in order to create a basis of social sustainability for future
generations, and thus strengthening its human capital. Urbanization and
integration of informal settlements with social inclusion and local econo-
mic development will have to be an integral part of policy in the post-pan-
demic city.
We also note that the contraction of the various economic activities asso-
ciated with the forced absence of people, cars and public transport from
the urban territory, were accompanied by a significant improvement in air
quality, causing a direct impact on the carbon footprint of cities. Satellite
photos that monitor gas emissions from the greenhouse gases in Rio de
Janeiro, São Paulo and Brasília showed a notable drop, comparing the
data for 2019 and 2020. Empty streets and seclusion of people unveil the
issue of environmental sustainability, land use and occupation, as well as
urban practices, while fundamentally underlining the essence of the city
planning and management.
To answer that question, you need to take a step back, and as I said earlier,
assess the context before, during and after the pandemic, and the com-
plexity of the formulation and implementation of public policies. What
worked and didn't work before the pandemic in planning and manage-
ment for sustainability? Urban informality and housing shows a facet of
the failure of urban management, the loss of management control of ur-

ban land and lack of regulation of the housing and housing markets.
Exclusionary markets that push the population towards the informality
of rent and occupations informal occupations and soil conditions, excess
cars and poor air quality, demonstrate the misconceptions of urban mo-
bility and public transport policies. The exponential increase in the volu-
me of solid waste produced in the city accelerates the saturation rate of
landfills and demonstrates the lack of a circular economy strategy that
connects consumption and production, and the practices of recycling and
reusing raw material, considered urban waste, as an integral part of urban
policy.
The fact is that building the city we want in the post-pandemic, sustai-
nable, resilient, and inclusive, in line with Sustainable Goal 11 of the 2030
Agenda, must bring together social, economic, environmental and spatial
sustainability, the result of a new generation of public policies, under the
leadership of municipal governments and municipal leaders supported
by technical teams, endowed with competences, skills and knowledge of
local reality of the city. It is necessary to have political and administrati-
ve autonomy and be able to mobilize the means and resources from its
territorial and fiscal base, and equip itself with legal tools to plan your
territory, with a focus on human capital. And also sustainability of their
environment, involving the private sector, civil society, universities and the
various actors, in the construction of a city vision that we want in the pos-
t-pandemic.

Here the main challenge remains how, where, and how to include the poorest.
It is an issue that is not only difficult to resolve but also reluctant, thanks mainly
to the development model that generates permanent excluded people. We

Planning for the future is full of risks and dangers. The ancient Greeks be-
lieved there were multiple futures – and not one predetermined future –
from which the mortals attempted to select the best, aided by divination
. Confronting this, Horace, in his Odes1, encourages us carpe diem, quam
minimum credula postero, to “seize the day, put little trust in the future”.
Some centuries later Rabbi Johanan said: ‘Since the Temple was destroyed;
prophecy has been taken from prophets and given to fools and children’2 .
However, the 1987 Brundtland Report, ‘Our Common Future’, recognizes
147
sustainable development as a “development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs”.
One of the two key concepts was the “idea of limitations imposed by the
state of technology and social organization on the environment’s ability to
meet present and future needs”. Not only today’s dramatic technological
capabilities but the post corona situation has changed the rules encoura-
ging multiple solutions and urban diversities.

The existing urban heritage will surely benefit from this new state. And

Perhaps we may consider taking a page out of the vintners’ manual on

Attributed to Confucius is the quotation, “Plan ahead or find trouble on the do-
orstep.” 2019 and 2020 have been a rude awakening for humankind; devasta-
ting fires, tornadoes, a pandemic and, most recently, mass destruction through
explosive forces. Our relationships with our environments are being tested and
our survival within the unknown is finding us clambering for solutions.
When looking back at the devastating effects of the 1918 Spanish Flu and
evaluating the takeaways from that pandemic, it is clear to see that there were
both lessons learned and, arguably, lessons forgotten. Medicine has clearly ad-
vanced and measures to limit a variety of sicknesses through vaccines, treat-
ments and mechanical interventions have become the norm in many coun-
tries. While the human race has contributed to great technological advances in
the past century, increasing connectivity and globalisation, it too has created
a population explosion. With travel and increased densities we have become
more vulnerable to pandemics. Somewhat paradoxically, as in 1918, the world
still remains reliant on social distancing and a range of personal protective
equipment as the primary response to the COVID-19 pandemic currently swe-
eping the planet.

So why is the Architect best suited for leading in the drive for rebuilding
destroyed landscapes and preparing environments adaptive for future
eventualities? While their responses may be varied, the intensive trai-
ning instilled in architecture graduates to reflect on their context, and to
search for near never-ending solutions to design and layout problems,
creates the concentrated rigour required for such tasks. Architecture’s
prime positioning between the social and environmental sciences, and
engineering, affords it both a sensitive and structural understanding of
avenues best suited in the search for solutions.
The current global crises quickly bring to the fore the inequalities evi-
dent in countries and in communities. While a catastrophe or an epi-
demic may not respect differences and boundaries, it is the ability to
manage the disaster where the difference rapidly shows. The architect’s
response should in all instances be respectful of the people in crisis and
developed in consultation with them, addressing their needs, cultural
specifics and heritage, while at all times being complementary to the
local context.

Since 2018, UN-Habitat in Brazil has held the Urban Circuit, a national
initiative to support and give visibility to events on the central themes of
the Urban October each year, organized by different actors across the
country. The 1st edition of the Urban Circuit, in 2018, focused on face-to-
-face events that discussed the themes “Municipal Solid Waste Manage-
ment” and “Building sustainable and resilient cities” and supported 56
events during the months of September, October and November, on 28
cities in Brazil. The 2nd edition, in 2019, had the theme "Innovative and
Inclusive Cities" and featured 151 selected live events during the month
of October, in 61 cities of 22 States and the Federal District.

The Urban Circuit 2020 had as its central theme "Post-COVID-19 Cities: Dia-
logues between Brazil and Lusophone Africa" and, based on the themes of
World Habitat Day and World Cities Day, two sub-themes: “Housing for all: a
better urban future” and “Valuing our communities and cities”.

The year 2020 changed not only the history of our society and our cities, but
also demanded several innovations in the 3rd edition of the Urban Circuit.
The first one was its realization in a totally virtual way, with live broadcast
events or recorded ones, due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
All events were recorded on the Urban Circuit YouTube channel and can be
watched free of charge at any time. In addition, the Urban Circuit 2020 had

a team of volunteer artists who provided graphic facilitations - that is, visual
arts that translated the main points of the discussions - available in the Art
Gallery of the website www.circuitourbano.org. Besides these artists, the
Urban Circuit 2020 had the support of more than 50 volunteers who made
it possible to carry out a major international initiative.
The virtual modality allowed the 2020 Urban Circuit to also have the oppor-
tunity to cross the Atlantic and be carried out in partnership with the UN-
-Habitat offices in African Portuguese Speaking Countries (PALOP): Ango-
la, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and São Tomé e Príncipe.
With more than 200 events and the participation of more than 1,000 pane-
lists from all engaging countries, in addition to international guests, the Ur-
ban Circuit 2020 opened doors for the deepening of South-South coopera-
tion and the exchange of experiences and diverse and common challenges
among these countries. The exchange has great potential for connection
between different sectors of all participating countries that can enable the
creation of common solutions, in addition to the history, culture and official
language they already share.

Despite being held during the Urban October month, the exchange and
network formation between the various participants of the events promo-
ted by the Urban Circuit aims to be a starting point for the promotion of
Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking cities that are safer, more inclusive, resi-
lient, sustainable and now also healthier for everyone. UN-Habitat expects
this process to continue through other windows of opportunity, such as the
27th World Congress of Architects, scheduled for July 2021.

A cidade talvez seja o principal lócus onde nosso trabalho é desenvolvido e
é nela, mas não somente, que as metas dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento
Sustentável devem ser atingidas. Sabemos que muitas dessas metas parecem
inalcançáveis, mas sua adaptação às realidades locais e seu uso como instru-

We live in a world where more than half of the population already lives in
cities. Day after day, the world becomes more urban, and recent events
have been showing that not everyone has access to the same opportu-
nities nor live under the same conditions. Every day, we are bombarded
with data and information that point out that reducing inequalities in
the world is vital and that we can not let the problems be solved in the
future. We must act now!
Debates over sustainable cities and how to plan the cities after the CO-
VID-19 pandemic are all over social media. Maybe, at this moment, the
themes of sustainable development and the reduction of inequalities
have become more present in our day-to-day life. However, this debate
has already been going on for some time and it is in our cities where
these issues manifest themselves in a more evident way, so it is in this
territory where we must plan how to solve them. After all, we studied
and have chosen this profession for this reason.

In fact, our role as architects and urban planners goes far beyond ci-
ties and sustainable communities. Our work enables us to contribute to
enhancing people’s health, the space where they receive their education
and enjoy their leisure time, as well as to ensure gender equity in our te-
ams and protect the environment with our plans and projects. We create
jobs and use new technology in our work, making sure that many fami-
lies have something to eat and where to live. We believe and work alon-
gside many professions and institutions and have responsibility when it
comes to combating climate change and the universalization of basic
sanitation. In short, our profession enables us to walk freely through all
seventeen SDG and contribute to this global agenda

is fundamental so that no one is left behind! We are ready to collaborate with
this process and fulfill our duty as transformation agents. May 2030 come!

INCLUSIVE DESIGN:

What makes a design friendly? A friendly design is one that feels com-
fortable, providing users with a sense of ease, contentment, and belon-
ging. It’s architecture that speaks to the needs of everyone in a manner
that is inclusive. It does not segregate or create conditions of ‘us’ ver-
sus ‘them’.
