Slum eradication programs, highway construction, the creation of strategic towns, the redesign of public spaces, the building of stadiums, and the repurposing of cities for the "World Cup celebration": these are some of the territorial and urban projects carried out during the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) that this exhibition examines. It is a spatial reorganization carried out at all scales and across all regions of the country, which directly impacted broad sectors of the population and permanently transformed Argentine society.

We understand culture as all the actions through which peoples express their ways of creating, doing, and living; scientific, artistic, and technological creations; works, objects, documents, buildings, and other spaces intended for artistic-cultural manifestations; as well as urban complexes and sites of historical, landscape, artistic, archaeological, paleontological, ecological, and scientific value. Culture encompasses both the language through which people communicate, tell their stories, and write their poems, as well as how they build their homes, prepare their food, pray, and celebrate.

The International Conference and Summer School 2019: Technopolitics in Urban Regeneration: Co-creating Public Spaces will explore different forms of co-creation, based on the premise that cities are a blend of new forms of sociability and collective action rooted in the association between humans and digital technologies. Consequently, it will discuss ways to develop urban solutions based on co-creation processes, giving a voice to the various stakeholders who can play a significant role in rebuilding public space at the local level. For co-creation to be successful, it must identify networks and engage diverse participants who can benefit from effective collaboration. This event provides opportunities to share international best practices and research, identify areas for action, and highlight their importance in city-building.
The event will be held at the ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon, in Lisbon, Portugal, and consists of two days of conferences, four days of workshops, and a one-week design laboratory focused on real-world scenarios in the city of Cascais, Portugal.
The conference aims to contribute to the debate surrounding the use of digital technologies in bottom-up strategies for urban public space design. The conference is structured into four thematic sessions: (1) Collaboration in a Digital Condition; (2) Civic Laboratories; (3) Community Participation and Toolkits; and (4) Digital Collective Mapping. Each session will feature a keynote followed by presentations of papers selected through the open call (the deadline for paper submissions is 04/01/19; more information is available at: https://turcocreating.weebly.com/call.html).
The workshops are designed to engage all participants in an integrated collaborative learning approach to develop urban design solutions during the design laboratory, which will focus on self-built neighborhoods in the city of Cascais.
The goal is to integrate technological knowledge with design concerns, establishing inclusive strategies that connect students, researchers, citizens, and municipalities with diverse expertise, thereby enhancing their ability to navigate urban regeneration project methods and the co-creation of public spaces.
