.
Planned or organic streets are part of the city’s design, and their facies is shaped and transformed by continued occupation over time. Some streets and arteries, because of the functions they perform, are crucial for understanding the growth of the urban structure and for the identity of the landscape. They have a genesis and a development, and as a living organism occupied by residents and passers-by, the face of the street will undergo transformations. The same change can be seen in the functions that give it its character.
On the occasion of the celebration of the opening of Rua das Flores, in the city of Porto, five hundred years ago, we propose to hold this colloquium for reflection/study on the role of the street in the urban structure and image.
