Resumo: | In recent decades, “LGBT neighbourhoods” or “gay Villages” have been gaining some prominence and particular identity characteristics within cities. As other areas that have been the main drivers of urban revitalization of inner cities, such as cultural and creative quarters or multicultural spaces, these territories stand out for their users and residents’ social practices, the specificities of their economic activity, or their contribution to creativity or social integration. More than community ghettos, these areas have been characterized by their openness and vibrancy, enhancing the coexistence of diverse lifestyles, trajectories and identities, but also by the contribution of LGBT people to the spatial gentrification through their strong commercial, residential and symbolic presence. Drawing upon an empirical work developed in Lisbon (Príncipe Real district) and Madrid (Chueca district), based on in-depth interviews to LGBT residents and participant observation in these two neighbourhoods, this paper characterizes the main evolutionary trajectories and specificities of these two quarters. An analysis is made confronting the characteristics and contingencies of these areas with other previously studied cases in literature, identifying the existence of notable differences and suggesting evidence of significant specificities, which can constitute a “South European” approach to the reality of “gay Villages”. Some generic principles for urban planning are drawn out from the analysis. |

Tal como outros territórios que têm sido destacados impulsionadores da revitalização urbana dos centros das cidades, como os bairros culturais e criativos ou os espaços multiculturais, estas zonas distinguem-se pelas práticas sociais dos seus utilizadores e habitantes, pelas especificidades da sua atividade económica, ou pelo seu contributo para a criatividade e integração social. Mais do que guetos comunitários, essas áreas têm sido caracterizadas pela sua abertura e vitalidade, promovendo a coexistência de diversos estilos de vida, trajetórias e identidades, mas também pela contribuição das pessoas LGBT para a gentrificação destes bairros através da sua forte presença comercial, residencial e simbólica. Partindo de uma pesquisa empírica desenvolvida em Lisboa (bairro do Príncipe Real) e em Madrid (bairro da Chueca), baseada em entrevistas em profundidade a residentes LGBT e na observação participante desenvolvida nos dois bairros, este artigo caracteriza as principais trajetórias de evolução e especificidades desses dois bairros. É efetuada uma análise que confronta as características e contingências destes territórios com outros casos previamente estudados na literatura, identificando a existência de diferenças substantivas e sugerindo evidência de especificidades significativas, que poderão representar uma abordagem "sul-europeia" à realidade das "gay villages ". São extraídos alguns princípios genéricos de atuação para o planeamento urbano.DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte2019-12-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/cct/article/view/19115eng2182-3030Costa, PedroPires, Pauloinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-23T16:03:01Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/19115Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:05:00.812880Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
