308. Rehousing is about people not only about houses - Ana Catarino
Ana Catarino (Anthropologist, Ateliermob, Lisbon, Portugal)Terras da Costa project in PortugalWithout water, sanitation, and precarious constructions. These are the living conditions of almost 500 people – approximately 100 children – who inhabit a neighborhood of illegal origin in Costa da Caparica. Called Terras da Costa, this neighborhood is mostly occupied by two communities: of African and Gypsy origin. There are no official data on the genesis of this neighborhood. It is only known that the construction of houses on these lands began with the existence of buildings to support agricultural activity, with reports from residents who say they have lived there for 30 years. In an aerial photographic record, from 2001, Ana and her team were able to identify a consolidated neighborhood, whose limits have increased over the last decade. This is isolated and invisible territory.

305. District 8 in Budapest - Daniel Rádai
Daniel Rádai (chief urban planner - vice mayor, Budapest District 8 - Józsefváros, Budapest, Hungary)What happens when plenty of citizens wake up one day realizing that the place they call home could be just so much different. Moreover, out of surprise a couple of young, eager urbanists get a chance to launch a new direction. Yet, pandemic hits, finances turn scarce, and demands are high while the voice of the motorist lobby is loud. A societal conflict is rising.Two years ago Budapest District 8 turned the tide to reclaim spaces for people like no other administration in the city before. With some brave moves by the Budapest Municipality, they try to show an alternative approach to city-making in the CEE region.Inspired by our friends in Barcelona, Milano, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Brussels, Lisbon, and Co it is time to gear further up and bring the city even closer to its people on a level never experienced before.
