\u201cWorst Tour\u201d – From Pal\u00e1cio de Cristal to Pra\u00e7a da Rep\u00fablica<\/strong>
14:30 – 16:30<\/strong>
Nr of participants: 25
Accessibility for wheelchair users: NO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is the stage for social struggles and conflicts. The city, more than Architecture, is a “political issue” par excellence. The city of Porto – simultaneously “bourgeois” and working-class – like so many other cities, is the physical representation in the public space of the social classes that make it up.
The city evolves, and with it, the Class Conflict evolves. In the struggle for the best located and most central square metre, the best locations and views, the city evolves to different stages of a “wider war”, “Gentrification”, “property speculation”, “expulsion”, “return to the centre”, etc.
Between the Palace and the Pra\u00e7a da Rep\u00fablica, various architectures express Culture and Politics, from the \u201cBrazilians’ Mansions\u201d, the “Bourgeois Houses”, the “Working Class Islands” in Lapa, the “SAAL” neighbourhoods of the post-25 April \u2013 Bou\u00e7a and Lapa – the new 5-star Hotel in Lapa, the Igreja da Lapa and the Quartel da Pra\u00e7a da Rep\u00fablica.\u00a0 With an open future – as always – What is the future for the poor in the city centre?
What new social programmes could fit into half-empty buildings like the Palacete and the Quartel da Pra\u00e7a da Rep\u00fablica? What impact will the New Hotel in Lapa have? What solutions have not yet been attempted for the homeless in Pra\u00e7a da Rep\u00fablica?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
