A conclusão da comunicação apontará no sentido de se pensar para Maputo processos urbanos assentes na articulação entre a macro-escala e estruturas de auto-organização espacial (a partir de microestratégias desenvolvidas pela população). A capital de Moçambique será apresentada sob perspetivas sobrepostas e justapostas, propondo que as qualidades - quer do formal, quer do informal - sejam interatuantes e se cruzem entre si. O espaço urbano será explicado a partir de uma visão de conjunto, englobando o colonial e o pós-colonial, o formal e o informal.
methodology designated as Trac(k)ing: tracing by tracking – a
kinetic approach, in the analysis of the capital of Mozambique. Maputo reveals diverse types of urban forms – from orthogonal layouts to sell-organized geometrically irregular structures – with complex configurations of streets, plots and intricate buildings aggregations. The research has three main goals: i) to define a new combinatory methodology of morphological approaches, based on qualitative and quantitative methods in order to analyze urban forms set by top-down planning strategies and bottom-up urban processes; ii) to apply the resulting methodology on the study of Maputo, taking into account the (in)formal condition of its urban space; and, finally, iii) to systemize, in critical and interpretative terms, the sort of relations that are set between urban structure, building patterns and urban activities into a new and augmented cartography of Maputo. In order to recognize the coexistence of normative physical planning and empirical urban self-organization processes in cities like Maputo, one ought to understand the individual and the communitarian multiplicity and the specificity of micro-strategies that results in renewed ways of urban space production – so that it will be possible to frame urban processes that will increase into the urban form-dynamic Spaces of Integrated Dynamics and Axis of Connected Fluxes.
