Urban density and child health and wellbeing: A scoping review of the literature
This scoping review explores the relationship between urban density and child health and wellbeing, focusing on how urban density has been measured and its association with various child health outcomes. By analysing 53 studies spanning from 1972 to 2023, we identify significant variability in how urban density is defined and measured and mixed evidence regarding its relationship with different child health outcomes. We also highlight context-spe…
Informal creative spaces for meaningful co-design of public spaces with children: Lessons from Brazil
Laying the Foundations for a Child-Focused Cities Analytical Framework: Reflections From an International, Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Children, a unique yet marginalized social group, hold immense potential for driving meaningful social and environmental change, both in their current lives and as future stewards of the planet. However, their significant contributions often depend on the mechanisms and opportunities adults create to facilitate their participation and inclusion. This places local governance at a crucial juncture, mediating children’s involvement in shaping their …
Transformative Local Governments: Addressing Social Urban Challenges by Bringing People and Politics Together
As the tier of government closest to people, local government plays a key role in answering local needs and aspirations. However, local governments are often under-resourced, leaving them inadequately responsive to many of these critical local demands. Moreover, accountability to their citizens, which is the core of a well-functioning local democracy, is often lacking because the necessary formal laws and informal norms do not enable citizens to …
Consoler les consciences troublées: La compassion dans la guérison spirituelle puritaine, c. 1590-1640
Cette étude cherche à démontrer le rôle essentiel de la compassion dans la pratique puritaine de la guérison spirituelle, telle qu’elle se développe en Angleterre entre la fin du règne d’Élisabeth Ire et la fin des années 1630. Si divers travaux ont été consacrés à la pastorale instituée par la practical divinity pour répondre aux crises spirituelles causées par des angoisses sotériologiques, la question des ressources émotionnelles mobilisées pa…
Does restorativeness support liveliness on commercial streets
The role of restorativeness in attracting and retaining people on commercial streets has been under-researched. To examine this topic, this convergent parallel mixed methods study was conducted on four commercial streets in Brazil. It included a quantitative evaluation of correlations between a set of microscale aspects of commercial streets and liveliness, and a qualitative thematic analysis of users’ experiences informed by the Attention Restor…
Pele Que É Silenciada: O Lugar Do Corpo Negro Na Leitura De Imagens
O currículo escolar adquiriu uma nova roupagem com a Lei no 10.639/2003, que trouxe a obrigatoriedade do Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira, a fim de valorizar a contribuição e a participação do povo negro em todas as esferas da formação do Brasil. Nesse viés, este artigo tem como objetivo dialogar sobre a referida lei e o poder da imagem no ensino interdisciplinar de arte e de história, a partir de análises das obras "Um jantar brasile…
Carmen Miranda
Carmen Miranda foi, e ainda é, um dos maiores ícones musicais e estéticos do Brasil. Carmen foi tudo menos convencional, tradicionalista e conformista, e talvez por isso tenha marcado a história da música e da moda brasileira e internacional. Assim, neste artigo, pretendemos debruçar-nos sobre dois tópicos fulcrais, nomeadamente o uso do Do-It-Yourself (DIY) nas suas criações artísticas, bem como pretendemos demonstrar a relevância do design dos …
The restorative potential of commercial streets
With cities continuing to grow at rapid rates across the globe, daily exposure to traffic, noise, crowding, information overload and other stressors have exacerbated urban dwellers’ need for restoration. Yet, how to enhance the restorative potential of urban environments remains a vastly understudied research topic. This article explores the perceived restorative potential of commercial streets in the Boston metropolitan area (US) and Belo Horizo…
In Fortune Fair and Foul
This article focuses on the idiosyncratic conception of happiness Sir Kenelm Digby develops in the letters he wrote after the death of his wife in 1633. It contextualises Digby’s vision of happiness through an examination of the different traditions he revisits and appropriates to develop his personal and subjective ethics of self-care, mainly Renaissance Neoplatonism, the idealisation of conjugal love, the idealism of Italian poetry, and an asce…
Análisis de explotación del volumen de las rocas
El presente Simposio fue planteado con el objetivo de conocer diferentes formas de abordar el estudio de aquellos criterios técnicos que incidieron en la explotación volumétrica de las rocas por parte de las sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras del pasado. Esto incluye diferentes momentos de la cadena operativa, desde la búsqueda de determinadas morfologías de nódulos en las fuentes, los criterios técnicos utilizados para la preparación y explotació…

First results of the hunter-gatherer weapon system studies in the middle basin of the Salado creek (Pampas Region, Argentina)
In this paper we present the results of the study of 32 projectile points from Hangar site, located in the Salado creek basin (centre of the province of Buenos Aires). Archaeological materials recovered from the site include some isolated human remains, several potsherds, faunal materials, and lithic artefacts. The presence of pottery and small triangular points, together with the radiocarbon dating results, indicate that the main occupations occ…
