Abstract(s)
Partir da ideia de que a cidade oferece igualdade de direitos, oportunidades e segurança
entre mulheres e homens é por si só uma falsa suposição. Examinando a formação das
sociedades ocidentais é inegável a carência de um efetivo pensamento para todas as
pessoas nas políticas públicas que resultam no desenho das cidades. Isto conduziu à
projeção de ambientes hierarquizados impulsionados pela lógica patriarcal, uma
problemática que se estendeu até à contemporaneidade. Durante séculos, o papel da
mulher como agente participativo de quem vivencia os espaços públicos, não tem tido o
devido reconhecimento. Por isto, a contribuição da perspetiva de género na arquitetura
e no urbanismo é imprescindível na mudança deste paradigma de modo a recaraterizar
e reorientar os espaços vivenciados de forma humana e anticapitalista.
Entre os espaços urbanos, a praça pode-se considerar tradicionalmente como um
coração das cidades. Deste modo, pretende-se analisar a ocupação na Praça do
Município, na cidade da Covilhã, sob a perspetiva de género. Esta escolha passa pela sua
caraterização espacial, considerando-se um núcleo rico em interações sociais que
abrange uma multiplicidade de setores comerciais, infraestruturas, acessibilidades e
edifícios que marcam a urbe. Com isto, pretende-se uma avaliação da sua ocupação e das
dinâmicas socio-espaciais de modo a perceber como se pode integrar o conceito de
espaços cuidadores neste local em particular.
Partindo deste contexto, a presente dissertação apoia-se num enquadramento teórico e
metodológico de estudos e propostas que se têm dedicado a pensar o urbanismo e na
reavaliação dos espaços, integrando o conceito de cidades cuidadoras. Estas
contribuições têm demonstrado que a valorização da perspetiva de género permite
resolver problemas das experiências vivenciadas pelas mulheres e raparigas na cidade,
considerando o seu contexto social, urbano e cultural.
Starting from the idea that the city offers equal rights, opportunities and security for women and men is in itself a false assumption. Examining the formation of western societies, the lack of effective thinking for all people in public policies that result in the design of cities is undeniable. This led to the projection of hierarchical environments driven by patriarchal logic, a problem that has extended to contemporary times. For centuries, the role of women as a participatory agent of those who experience public spaces has not had due recognition. For this reason, the contribution of the gender perspective in architecture and urbanism is essential in changing this paradigm in order to recharacterize and reorient the spaces experienced in a humane and anti-capitalist way. Among the urban spaces, the square can be considered traditionally like a heart of the cities. In this way, we intend to analyze the occupation in Praça do Município, in the city of Covilhã, from a gender perspective. This choice is based on its spatial characterization, considering it a center rich in social interactions that covers a multiplicity of commercial sectors, infrastructures, accessibility and buildings that mark the city. With this, we intend to assess their occupation and socio-spatial dynamics in order to understand how the concept of care spaces can be integrated in this particular location. Starting from this context, this dissertation is supported by a theoretical and methodological framework of studies and proposals that have been dedicated to thinking about urbanism and the reevaluation of spaces, integrating the concept of caring cities. These contributions have demonstrated that the valorization of the gender perspective allows to solve problems of the experiences lived by women and girls in the city, considering their social, urban and cultural context.
