Consumption, Culture and Urban Quality of Life
- Ability to formulate a framework for reflection on multidisciplinary approaches to the centrality of consumption, culture and quality of life in the current phase of development of cities.
- Mastery of some tools for operationalizing concepts and methodological applications, on those themes, in professional contexts and / or further postgraduate studies.
The program of the course is structured in three modules and content that follow:
1. Cities and Consumption
1.1. Consumption as a structuring axis of economies and urban life
1.2. Urban growth and retail apparatus: processes, phases, spaces and practices
1.3. Urban change and consumption patterns: methodological aspects and case studies
2. Culture, urban consumption and development
2.1 City, culture, creativity: conceptual and methodological issues
Cultural activities and territory
2.3 Culture, creative dynamics and urban space
2.4 Cultural Activities and Urban Revitalisation
2.5 Forms of governance and governance: cultural policies, territorial development and urban creativity;
3. Quality of life and urban development
3.1. Context of the emergence of the theme of quality of life and quality of urban life
3.2 The various approaches to quality of life
3.3 Methodologies for diagnosis and assessment of quality of life.
Writing of three individual essays, one per module, associated with one of the topics covered in the module (and agreed with the teacher), which will require the application of knowledge mobilized in the module (and the respective supporting bibliography) to the study of a specific empirical case. Each essay will have a minimum of 3 pages and a maximum of 4, excluding bibliography, sources, images, etc. Each essay will have a weight of 1/3 in the final evaluation.

Theories of the City and Territory
It is intended that the students develop the following competences:
- Grasp of knowledge about the major approaches towards the understanding of the city, its transformation dynamics and impacts on social and spatial structures;
- Aptitude to identify urban studies issues and to reflect on them in an integrated and multidisciplinary way;
- Ability to use the acquired theoretical-methodological means, autonomous and critically, in the creation and implementation of urban themes, in the research domain and in professional contexts.
I. Forms of spatial organization
1. Urbanization and metropolization
2. Urban systems: evolution and current trends
3. Urban interventions: classic and informal
II. Urban morphology and design
1. Urbanism: from the garden city to the modern city and the new urbanism
2. Concepts of urbanism. City Reading Instruments
3. Urban Morphology: a comparative perspective
III. Dynamics of urban transformation
1. Globalization and the city
2. The processes of socio-spatial segregation in the post-Fordist city: the new urban economies and the socioeconomic structure of cities.
3. The processes of socio-spatial segregation and the dynamics of gentrification
1) a group presentation of a work project, to be developed later in working form (30%).
2) a group work consisting in the development and operationalization of a theme, having as context a territory previously presented by teachers (70%).
Both the presentation and the work, being of group, the evaluation will be individual, and each element should mark its participation.

City Through Time
To understand the main changes in urban space and cities social dynamics from mid-18th century up to the end of the 20th century, namely:
a) the different ideals of urban design, public space and architectural design;
b) the 19th century metropolitanization process; utopias and problems stemming from industrialization and new sanitary ideals; the urban project conceived by the architects of the Modern Movement and its later critique;
c) how images and representations of the city change and their weight in urban politics and the transformation of the urban fabric;
d) the presented case studies;
e) groups? dynamics and main social interactions;
f) the dilemmas concerning public order and security;
g) the ?social question? and the diversity of answers it has raised.
To apply the acquired knowledge and develop critical skills by discussing sources, theoretical texts and writing a final essay

1) The city and its representations in the context of the Enlightenment. The reconstruction of Lisbon: urban morphology, architecture and public spaces.
2) The 19th century metropolitanization process. Paris.
3) Representations of the industrial and sanitary city vs. the metropolitan ideal. The socialist utopia; urban design in the end of the 19th century. Barcelona and Lisbon.
4) The urban project of the Modern Movement: dissemination, criticism and drift. Urban morphology, architecture, and public spaces.
5) From the recovery of historical forms to the city of spectacle. Perception, conceptions and experiences of space.
II. Urban actors and urban experiences (18th to 20th century)
1) Industrialization, urbanization and social dynamics.
2) Conflicts and interactions: urban elites and working classes.
3) The dilemmas of security: norm and order in public spaces.
4) The ?social question? in the city.
5) Urban identities and sociabilities.
The final assessment takes the preparation and participation of seminars into account (20%), but is mainly defined on the basis of the written essay (80%) presented and discussed in class.

Methodology in Urban Studies
At the end of the course, each student should have acquired the skills to:
LO1) define research for the production of knowledge in social sciences and identify associated basic notions (theory, method, techniques);
LO2) define and distinguish the research methods most commonly used in social sciences and Urban Studies;
LO3) differentiate methods to be used according to different research objectives and conditions;
LO4) analyse and interpret indicators (statistical or other secondary/documentary sources);
LO5) select samples, construct information collection instruments and analyse data produced by questionnaire surveys in Urban Studies;
LO6) select cases, construct information collection instruments (e.g.: interview guide) and analyse the content of interview and texts drawing upon the intensive method in Urban Studies;
LO7) combine the extensive and intensive strategies in the social sciences and in Urban Studies, in what is known as a multi-method strategy.

Assessment throughout the semester
The assessment process throughout the semester involves the student's participation in class, individual intervention in exercises to exemplify and apply/train method(s) and technique(s) (e.g. role playing interviews) and the completion, in the classroom context, of two individual tests to assess knowledge of the subject taught and provided for in the programme, based on texts made available to students or easily accessible in university libraries.
The final grade is made up of 50% of the grade for the first individual written test (to be taken around the middle of the programme/semester) and 50% of the grade for the second individual written test (date to be defined, end of the programme/semester).
The curricular unit does not provide for assessment by exam.
