Images of the planned city: Lisbon’s cultural diversity and strategic urban
thinking
|
| Abstract
|
Cultural diversity has acquired an important role in the discourse on regional and
urban planning. The transformation of diversity into a territorial value emerges
with the growth of the symbolic economy and the predominance of tourism, the
economic sector of culture and urban marketing in development strategies. The
strategic documents of regional and urban development are vehicles of territorial
ideology, promoting ways of thinking about the territory, the protagonists and
agents of its development, what it should be and who it should belong to. Via an
analysis of the strategic documents for the capital city/region of the capital, we reveal
the work of building representations for the Lisbon that has been planned.We
pay special attention to the role of “diversity” in this building process.
